Cloie Syquia Skarne is definitely gearing herself up for the upcoming Miss Universe-Sweden pageant which is happening at the end of August 2016.
With her modelesque looks—thanks to the genes of her famous parents Gabby Concepcion and Jenny Syquia—the 21-year-old Filipina-Swedish-American beauty surely has a fighting chance to be Sweden’s representative to the international beauty pageant which is set to be held in the Philippines in 2017.
“It will be extremely exciting to be in the Miss Universe pageant that’s going to be here in the Philippines which is also a country that is very close to my heart,” Cloie shared in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
Cloie is currently in the Philippines, training with the same team that mentored reigning Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach in preparation for the prestigious beauty pageant.
She also revealed that she had learned a lot of essential things about pageantry from her trainers.
“It’s been fun. “I’ve been training on walking and question and answer and I’m learning because I didn’t have any training before this pageant. I have no background so it’s all new. I’m just learning all the basics that I’m going to have to need,” she said.
She also shared that she chose to train in the country since “everyone is so supportive.” The Philippines undeniably takes pride in being one of the formidable competitors in beauty pageants.
“I think that’s something that drew me here. And also, there are really good trainers here as well. I think that that could really help me in the Miss Universe Sweden pageant,” Cloie explained.
