Full Video: Janine Tugonon in Miss Universe 2012 Preliminary Competition

Miss Universe-Philippines Janine Tugonon was a stand-out during the Miss Universe 2012 preliminary competition which happened December 13 (December 14, MLA time) at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Janine effectively worked the crowd with her signature strut called Cobra Walk which was described by beauty queen Joyce Burton-Titular as a "fast criss-cross walk with a slight shoulder shake and a pivot that will render you hypnotized."

With Janine's sterling performance during the Miss Universe 2012 preliminaries (the swimsuit and evening gown rounds, including the interviews which according to Jonas Gaffud was also nailed by Janine), a Top 5 finish all the way to the crown is not at all impossible.

Janine Tugonon Shows Off Her Signature 'Cobra Walk,' All Set for Miss Universe 2012

Miss Universe-Philippines 2012 Janine Tugonon gave us a glimpse of her signature 'cobra walk' on her The Buzz guesting Sunday, November 18. The 23-year-old morena beauty from Bataan will be the country's representative to the 2012 Miss Universe Pageant to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 19.

Janine Tugonon gamely demonstrated her walk, which has been dubbed the "cobra" when The Buzz host Charlene Gonzales asked her if she has her own version of the "tsunami walk" popularized by her predecessor Shamcey Supsup, who was named third runner-up in last year’s Miss Universe.

Watch Janine Tugonon as she samples her signature 'cobra walk' in the video below:

Janine has been preparing for months now for the Miss Universe 2012 pageant. Though pressured, Janine was confident that God will be with her as she gives her best for the country but she's also asking for prayers and support from fellow Filipinos.
