Pulgarin was in the Top 12 of the 74th Miss Universe pageant held last year, also in Thailand. She also joined the 2017 Miss International pageant in Japan.

MGI All Stars announced her visit to the Philippines on social media on Saturday, May 30, but no other details of her trip were released.

The clash of veterans has also opened applications for its second season, where Pulgarin will return to defend her title, and for a chance to raise her $100,000 prize to $1 million if she wins in three consecutive editions.
