The tension is growing among the candidates as the Miss Universe 2013 pageant nears. Who do you think would be able to win the title and the crown among the 86 delegates?

Miss Philippines, Ariella Arida has her qualms for who she thinks will be the ladies to look out for in this year's Miss Universe 2013. The exotic Filipina beauty is ready to win the title and the crown for the Philippines as she is asked about how she feels about the competition.

The Filipina beauty says that she is ready and has conditioned herself to be ready the moment she won the Binibining Philippines Universe title that made her the Philippines' representative to this year's 62nd Miss Universe pageant.

Each answer she gave in her interview showed that Miss Philippines has come prepared to Moscow, Russia to win the title and the crown that her predecessors came so close to getting for the Philippines.

When asked 'who she thinks are among the strongest candidates' Miss Philippines says that it is Miss Puerto Rico and Miss France.

France is a strong contender as well as Puerto Rico and these are the ladies that Miss Philippines thinks has a strong possibility to win in the pageant. The two have been doing great in their glam shoot and in the fashion shows that the 86 delegates have participated in.

Ariella Arida however has nothing to fear. She has been winning each of the preliminary rounds, first being chosen as one of the models for the Mercedes-benz commercial wherein only 6 were chosen among the Miss Universe candidates. Miss Philippines also bagged the best in glam shoot as the chosen "Ice Princess" and now everyone is just waiting for her to bag the Miss Universe title and crown.

Watch these beautiful ladies in the 62nd Miss Universe pageant on November 9 at 9pm to be held at the Crocus Hall in Moscow Russia.
