Miss Universe 2017 Celebrities pour in support for Rachel Peters

SHE is not alone in her journey to the Miss Universe 2017 title.

The Philippines’ Rachel Peters got the support of Filipino celebrities with strong Twitter following, as online voting for Miss Universe 2017 opened yesterday.

The online voting can help candidates earn a spot in the semifinals during the coronation night on November 27 in Las Vegas Nevada, USA.

There are options for the online voting. One is through Twitter by tweeting or retweeting #MissUniverse and the contestant’s specific hashtag (country). Netizens can also vote (a maximum of 10 times a day) via vote.missuniverse.com.

Among those who expressed support is Dubsmash Queen Maine Mendoza who sought the help of AlDub Nation (fans of Mendoza and her love team partner Alden Richards) yesterday on Twitter.

“I believe in the power of Aldub Nation! Let’s continue to support our candidate for Miss Universe 2017 Ms. Rachel Peters by using the hashtag #MissUniverse #Philippines Go Rachel,” tweeted Mendoza, who has 4.5 million Twitter followers.

As of 9 p.m. last night, the post had more than 28,000 retweets and more than 31,000 likes.

Kapamilya star Anne Curtis Smith, who has 9.9 million Twitter followers, also joined netizens yesterday in tweeting the hashtags.

“Go get it!!!! Slaaaaaaaaaaaaay! We got you @rachelpetersx. Had to repeat kasi no emojis apparently and not to use capital letters? Haha. Kagulo! Basta I typed everything correctly and used L for Philippines! O yan! #MissUniverse #Philippines,” Smith said.

Her original tweet had more than 23,000 retweets and more than 27,000 likes. “It’s Showtime” host Vice Ganda did not also miss asking his 10 million followers on Twitter yesterday to vote for Peters.

“Hala sige Rachel Peters pang-gigilan mo silang lahat. Ikembot ang bewang. Iwasiwas ang buhok. Ngiti sabay irap! #MissUniverse #Philippines,” Vice Ganda tweeted. “Big favor please! Tweet ur support to Rachel Peters and use #MissUniverse #Philippines.

This will help her secure a spot. Pleassssseee,” he said.

Vice Ganda even tweeted a joke to his followers to gain more retweets and tweets for Peters, “Or kahit anong itweet nyo basta use #MissUniverse #Philippines. Ge na wag ng KJ kung ayaw nyong isumpa ko ang mga love life nyo!!! Dalii!” Other celebrities who tweeted the hashtag were Gretchen Ho, Bianca Gonzales, and Chienna Filomeno.

As of 5 p.m. yesterday, #Philippines was on the third trending topic on Twitter in the country while #MissUniverse hashtag was on the first spot.

Meanwhile, Peters took to Instagram after the Miss Universe preliminary competition yesterday to thank her supporters.

“Tonight was sooo much fun! Shoutout to all the Filipinos who were there for me tonight. I seriously felt the love and have been all week. Thank you to all my kababayans around the world for your relentless support, votes, and prayers.

I appreciate you all. Good night from LV. Excited for another beautiful day tomorrow,” Peters said.
