Bahrain’s representative in the Miss Universe 2022 pageant is Evlin Khalifa. Her participation in the prestigious international beauty pageant is said to have been made possible by the fact that her team was made up of Filipinos. This was emphasized by the Bahraini beauty queen in an Instagram post on Thursday, January 12, 2023.

“For Filipinos,” Evlin said as he thanked his all-Filipino team, which he called “the best in pageantry.”

Evlin was observed during the Miss Universe 2022 preliminary competition this Thursday (Philippine time) because she was wearing a “burkini” in the swimsuit round.
The burkini is a type of swimsuit worn by Arab and Muslim women that covers the entire body aside from the hands and feet.

But it is all because of Filipinos, from designers to makeup to catwalks.

“In Bahrain, it might be a new opportunity for us to join the greatest competition of its kind @missuniverse but the wind beneath my wings are undoubtedly the best in pageantry,” Evlin writes.

Bahrain has a representative in the most prestigious international beauty pageant for the second time.
“And this post is dedicated to my undying GRATITUDE to my Filipino Team, without them – I can never call myself a queen,” he added.

Evlin insisted on his gratitude to his all-Filipino team.
“It’s team work and I am so thankful to each and everyone who is part of my journey.

“You don’t know how much I love you.

“Mahal ko kayo, to my walk trainer, my make up artists, my stylist, my designer – all Filipinos – especially to my ever supportive National Director who is a certified Filipino pride and my co National Director – both of them have given me their entire efforts, time and wisdom so I can stand on the Miss Universe stage as they help me become a true transformational queen.”

Evlin said she wished to express her gratefulness to the Filipinos who made her pageant journey possible.
