Here's the Miss Universe 2019 Top 20!

From 90 beautiful candidates, the selection committee of Miss Universe cut it down to 20 candidates.

The Miss Universe organization this year selected five candidates from each continent — Africa and Asia Pacific, The Americas, Europe — and five candidates selected for the wild card category.

Philippine bet Gazini Ganados was not among the five candidates chosen from Africa and Asia Pacific.

Instead, she was the first to be called in the Wild  Card section, making for a collective sigh of relief among Filipino netizens.
