He wrote, "Miss Universe Philippines candidate Kirsten Danielle “Kisses” Delavin in a stunning blue evening gown dedicated to her supporters."
"Magnifying its details, the color of this gown took inspiration from the Province’s Marine Sanctuary. Each beads, sequins, and crystal embellishment and structure of this gown represents the people of her Province and her loyal supporters— the Masbateños and Team Kisses," the designer added.
"The train and its one-shoulder length gloves is a representation of her fans as a sturdy wall to lean on. Flaunting this Louis Pangilinan Fashion Empire gown inspirits special people in her journey towards Miss Universe Philippines — Ang kanyang mga 'Tinatangi',"
