'Finally home!': Beatrice Luigi Gomez returns with grand homecoming after Miss Universe 2021 victory
MANILA, Philippines — Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Luigi Gomez is finally back in Manila from an impressive performance at the 70th Miss Universe competition.
She came home to a Marines welcome and reception, being a promoted reservist sergeant, at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
She flew from Tell Aviv's Ben Gurion airport, with a layover in Turkey, before arriving in Manila.
In a Twitter post, she thanked her carrier for a smooth voyage: "Finally home! Thank you Turkish Airlines for the safe and comfortable flight from Tell Aviv to Istanbul to my home country, Philippines! I always love the most memorable plane rides with Turkish Airlines' top of the line services and amenities."
Bea's impressive Top 5 finish placed the Philippines back in top form after not-so-good placements in 2019 and 2020. She has made history by securing the country's continuing semifinal streak that began with Miss Universe 2010 4th runner-up Ma. Venus Raj - making 2021 our 12th straight year - and counting!
