Miss Universe candidates arrive in Davao

With just a few days away from the big day, the Miss Universe candidates' schedules are packed with events.

They were split into two groups for Thursday's pre-pageant activities. Some sailed their way to Batangas, while the other half flew to Davao City for a fashion show.

As can be seen in the gallery below, the ladies—accompanied by some Tourism officials—were warmly welcomed in Davao.

Catch the 65th Miss Universe coronation event live on GMA on January 30 at 8 a.m.
