Beauty queen Janine Tugonon now a permanent US resident

Miss Philippines is now Miss USA…well, sort of.

“Miss Universe 2012 first runner-up Janine Tugonon has obtained permanent residency in the United States one year after leaving the Philippines,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.

On her Instagram page, Tugonon shared a photo of herself holding a letter for permanent residency approval in the US.

In a past Asian Journal article, Tugonon had explained why she loved Los Angeles. “I love the environment, I love the people. And here kasi, I can do what I want more,” she said.

On her Instagram page, Tugonon describes herself as an “LA talent” who is with Aston Models LA.
