SURIGAO CITY (MindaNews / 10 Dec) — Four participants of the recently concluded Miss Universe 2017 visited Siargao, the surfing capital of the country on Sunday.

According to Peter Paul Polovorosa, a ramp agent of Skyjet Airlines, the four arrived via SkyJet Airlines Sunday noon. “No fanfare whatsoever when they arrived. I think they will be having their vacation here,” he said.

Their visit is spearheaded by Miss Philippines Rachel Peters who owns a restaurant-resort in General Luna town, the tourism hub of the island.
