Ayon kay Miss Universe Philippines Baguio Roxie Smith nakapag-train at nakapaghanda na siya para sa paparating na swimsuit show.
Tatlong linggo na lang ang natitira bago ang Miss Universe Philippines swimsuit show, at ayon kay Miss Universe Philippines Baguio Roxie Smith, handa na siyang harapin ang challenge na ito.
Kinausap exclusively ni Roxie ang GMA Lifestyle habang nasa contract signing sa pagitan ng Miss Universe Philippines organization at New Moon PH, at ayon sa kanya ay excited na siya sa paparating na swimsuit show at naghahanda na para rito.
“Definitely, importante pasarela. I've been training multiple times. I've had multiple sessions with Sir Ian (Lorenz), and he's one of the best in the industry. I'm very grateful for that. Of course, wardrobe and styling is everything, so I prepared that beforehand,” pagbabahagi niya. “'Yung sunblock ko, ready na rin. I love the beach, and I'm happy that it's going to be held there. I feel like it's in my preferred environment, which I'm very grateful for.”
Mangyayari ang Miss Universe Philippines swimsuit show sa March 21, 4 p.m., sa Aqua Boracay resort.

Hindi lang nagpapasalamat si Roxie para sa paparating na beach trip, kundi para na rin sa oportunidad na makausap ang 50 pang mga delegates na kasama niya sa Miss Universe Philippines. Ibinahagi niya ang kanyang mga saloobin eksklusibo sa GMA Lifestyle.
“Definitely, during photoshoots, there is ample time to bond with the girls. There are 51 candidates, so that gives me 50 people to meet, and I've had conversations with each one already,” paliwanag niya. “I'm really happy, because I thought that if it's multiple girls, it would be hard to have interactions, but now we're able to build relationships. That's the core of Miss Universe Philippines, really women empowerment and building relationships, and enjoying the moment together.”
Na-appreciate rin ni Roxie ang shipping na ginagawa sa pagitan niya at iba pang mga Miss Universe Philippines delegates.
“We've been laughing about it a few days ago, because on TikTok, I would see videos of me and Nicole (Borromeo), nilo-love team kami! Tapos meron din, 'yung kami ni Bea (Millan-Windorski), and Bea was telling me, we have a love triangle. I appreciate it, of course, I think fans are so witty. Ang dami nilang time, and I think it's cute that they do that,” pagbabahagi niya.
Dati nang ibinahagi ni Roxie na masaya siya sa kanyang Miss Universe Philippines experience at nahigitan pa nito ang kanyang expectations.
“I'm really happy. I feel like this is something that I've really wanted since I was young, and I owe it to myself to fulfill my little girl dream,” saad niya.
“Surprisingly, it's even better than I thought. Of course, I already saw in pictures in the past that it's really going to be a lot of fun, and I have stories of the previous Miss Baguio's telling me about the relationships they've built and all the brands they get to work with,” dagdag niya. “But it's different talaga when you do it face to face and you see it for yourself. I also love that compared to my experience six years ago, this time I get to interact with a lot of people, and we got to do the parade at Mall of Asia. That's one for the books. Definitely something I would treasure all my life.”
Simula pa lang ng kompetisyon ay ibinahagi na ni Roxie na matagal na niyang pangarap na sumali sa Miss Universe Philippines. Kamakailan lamang ay nagpost ang Miss Universe Philippines ng Instagram Reel ni Roxie pagkatapos ng kanyang first public event.
“I'm more than excited, this was my little girl dream. As young as the age of three, I already knew what I wanted. I knew I wanted to go for Miss Universe,” sabi pa niya.
Ang public event na ito ay ang Miss Universe Philippines press presentation, na nagsimula sa isang parada sa SM Mall of Asia Arena at nagtungo sa City of Dreams.
Naghahanap ang Miss Universe Philippines ng papalit sa kasalukuyang Miss Universe Philippines Ahtisa Manalo, na third runner-up noong 2025 Miss Universe pageant.
