Check out our Top 15 picks for Miss Universe 2010!

The Miss Universe pageant is happening tomorrow morning (Manila time) and it will be aired live on ABS-CBN.

Our bet, Ma. Venus Raj, represented our country very very well and among the 83 contestants, she has the true Cinderella story that could make our decade-long wish to place in the finals of the prestigious pageant a reality.

I am not telling this because Ma. Venus Raj is our very own but other pageant enthusiasts and beauty critics around the world also see her as one of this year’s frontrunners.

In our Top 15 picks, of course I am rooting for Venus but i will put Miss Mexico on top of my list to shatter any biases.
