MANILA\u2014Newly-crowned Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere left Manila Thursday afternoon to temporarily move to New York City and start official duties in her year-long reign.<\/p>\n

Mittenaere, like all former Miss Universes including Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, will live in New York to become a spokesperson for various causes.<\/p>\n

The beauty queen from France, who is also a dentistry student, earlier said that she would like to pursue advocacies on oral hygiene and education.<\/p>\n

She has had previous experience in charity work volunteering at French-based charities Bienvenue-Tongasoa and Les Bonnes F\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will be dentist in two years. But now, I will represent the universe and I want to do more than that,\u201d she said in an earlier press conference.<\/p>\n

Before boarding her flight, Mittenaere embraced Tourism Undersecretary Kat de Castro and thanked her for the country\u2019s successful hosting of the prestigious pageant.<\/p>\n

Mittenaere earlier described Filipinos as \u201cexceptional, welcoming, and lovely\u201d people.<\/p>\n

She is only the second bet from France who won the coveted crown. This ended France’s 63-year title drought since the victory of Christiane Martel in 1953.<\/p>\n

The doll-faced beauty is the third Miss Universe to be crowned in the Philippines. The other candidates crowned in the Philippines were Miss Universe-Spain Amparo Mu\u00f1oz (1974) and Miss Universe-India Sushmita Sen (1994).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
