Talisay City, Cebu—Even if Miss Philippines Gazini Christiana Ganados failed to take home the crown in the 2019 Miss Universe pageant, the Talisay City Government still plans to commend the Philippine bet for her achievement and for bringing the name of Talisay into the world stage.
Ganados was able to make it in the top 20, but her journey ended in the competition after failing to make it to the top 10.

“We [are still] proud of Gazini because she brought Talisay to the world stage,” said Gullas.
“To be in that position in the first place, and coming from the city of Talisay, is not a joke,” he added.
Gullas said that he will personally recommend to the city council to commend Ganados.
