Welcome Home Miss Universe 2014!
The current Miss Universe will be officially received by the President of the Colombian Republic, Juan Manuel Santos. Moments after Paulina’s historic win, people in Colombia flooded the streets and danced in celebration and President Juan Manuel Santos declared a national holiday in her honor.
"This demonstrates that in Colombia we have women who are intelligent, hard-working and perseverant in the face of obstacles," Santos said. "They're also very pretty."
Colombians are obsessed with beauty and pageants are a major draw across social classes. But unlike neighboring Venezuela, which has won seven Miss Universe titles, Colombians are accustomed to falling short of the crown, with four runner-up appearances since 1992.
Paulina Vega will be in Barranquilla on May 10th to record a video for the Colombian Singer Carlos Vives.
