LOOK: Miss Universe candidates stay behind to explore PH

MANILA – Several candidates of the 65th Miss Universe pageant obviously loved the Philippines that some of them decided to extend their stay in the country.

One week after the coronation, some of the contestants have been hitting the beach and taking to social media to share their awesome pictures.

For instance, Miss Universe US Virgin Islands Carolyn Carter is currently admiring the beauty of Palawan. Aside from visiting the Puerto Princesa Underground River, Carter went on to explore Palawan by heading to El Nido.

Palm Trees. Ocean Breeze. Salt in the Air. Sand in my Hair. 💙 Waw, what an island! Today we did the Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour, tomorrow we are going to the Underground River Tour (the '7th new wonder of the natural world) and the day after taking the long ride to El Nido for Tour A! Thank you so much for all your sweet suggestions and advices! Really appreciate it! We want to make most out of the short time that we have here of course 😍 I'd wish to see also Coron and Boracay, but there is no time for that 😢But already having the best time here with my family! Maraming Salamat ❣️ Beauiful Palawan 💙#itsmorefuninthephilippines #missgermany #philippines #palawan #puertoprincesa #beach

Crystal Clear Waters, Endless Beaches and an Underwater World that will take your breath away... with other words EL NIDO 🌴 Today I really felt like I found paradise on earth... Warm heartedly recommending everyone to visit this place once in your life! It was so worth the 6 hours drive from Puerto Princesa! Thanks everyone for the suggestion! 🇵🇭Philippines 🇵🇭👌🏼#elnido #philippines #palawan #paradise #beach #smalllagoon #islandhopping #kayak #itsmorefuninthephilippines #palawan
