Ara Arida Starts Her Miss Universe Web Correspondent Gig

It’s going to be three in a row for the Filipina beauty to be taking over the Miss Universe web correspondent duties. 

In 2012, Shamcey became the first “On the Scene” correspondent for the behind-the-scenes web series, On the Scene. for the Miss Universe Pageant and she did the segment in Las Vegas so well that another Filipina, this time Miss Janine Tugonon got the hosting gig in Moscow, Russia back in 2013.

It will stream via the Miss Universe YouTube channel, Official Miss Universe.  "On the Scene" web show is the Miss Universe Organization's way of letting pageant fans in on the events happening before the coronation night on

Miss Universe 2013 3rd runner-up, Ariella Arida, together with Mr. Jonas Gaffud of Aces and Queens, finally arrived at the LAX international airport, Los Angeles, California, that is as she takes the trip for Doral, Miami. They were met at the airport by US- based Janine Tugonon.

 So how will Ara tackle her hosting gig? I'm confident she will ace it and do us proud

Watch the 63rd Miss Universe Pageant on Monday, January 25 to be telecast live over ABS CBN Channel 2

The Philippines is indeed one of the favorite countries of the Miss Universe Organization. The obvious favoritism can be confirmed with the appointment of Miss Universe 2013 3rd Runner-up Ara Arida as Miss Universe 2014 Website Correspondent

 

2013 Bb Pilipinas- Universe: Ara Arida

This is the third straight year that a Miss Philippines Universe will be assuming the online hosting chores for the pageant. It was Shamcey Supsup who got the job in 2012 followed by Janine Tugonon who flew to Moscow, Russia in 2013. This year, Miss Arida gets the ‘On the Scene’ online hosting job for the 63rd Miss Universe Pageant.

Ariella will be jetting off to Miami, Florida, USA middle of January so expect her web videos to appear a few days before and during the pageant. 

Way to go Ara!
