Is Miss Curaçao 🇨🇼 Akisha Albert "the lucky charm of the Philippines 🇵🇭"?

Miss Curaçao 🇨🇼 Akisha Albert was considered by some fans as "the lucky charm of the Philippines" in the international (both major and minor) pageant stages just like Olivia Jordan 🇺🇸.

Let's talk about Miss USA 🇺🇸 Olivia Jordan first. When she joined Miss World 2013, Megan Young of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won. Then, when she joined Miss Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won. How about this, Jordan was part of the panel of judges during the 2016 Binibining Pilipinas to select 6 winners to compete in 6 different international (both major and minor) pageant stages such as, Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Supranational, Miss Intercontinental, Miss Grand International and Miss Globe. Luckily/coincidentally, Jordan was the judge tasked to ask the final Q&A to Kylie Verzosa who eventually won Miss International 2016. And take note, among the bunch, Verzosa was the only one took home the crown.

Same thing with Miss Curaçao 🇨🇼 Akisha Albert. When she Joined Miss Earth 2014, Jamie Herrell of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won. When she joined Reina Hispanoamericana 2017, Teresita Marquez of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won. And then she joined Miss Universe 2018, Catriona Gray of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won.

Coincidence? Of course. Lucky charm? Totally!
