Before the Miss Universe 2016 beauty pageant, Miss Philippines Maxine Medina revealed that she has a secret weapon that she will use against other candidates. However, this weapon seemed to have not worked as she failed to get the highly-coveted crown.

Miss Universe Philippines Maxine Medina admitted that she has a secret weapon for the 65th Miss Universe. Expectations are high for the Philippines' bet hoping for the first back-to-back win. The reigning Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach won the pageant last year and has set the bar high for Medina and the beauty queen was always compared to the Miss Universe 2015 titleholder.

According to Kami, Maxine's secret weapon in the competition is just to be herself and to let her personality shine. Being the host delegate, Medina is extra friendly to the other candidates to make sure they feel comfortable in the country.

The Miss Universe candidates received a fair warning from Miss International 2016 Kylie Versoza who once said that candidates do not know how good Medina is in the competition. Considered as one of the strong candidates thanks to her home court advantage.

The Miss Philippines failed to win the crown this year after she finished in the Top 6 of the competition. The beauty queen fell right after the first round of Question and Answer. The Philippines' candidate has met a lot of backlash for her grammar and lack of substance in answering her past interviews making Filipinos worried how she will answer the questions.

However, Medina shined during the preliminary competition and many people commended her performance onstage and how she walked.
