Miss Dominican Republic and Miss Puerto Rico In 2002, Febles acquired the
Miss Puerto Rico Universe and
Miss Dominican Republic Universe franchises and was responsible for preparing and sending delegates from
Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic to
Miss Universe, her most successful delegatee so far was
Zuleyka Rivera in
2006 who won the international pageant. She was the former owner of two salons,
Magali Febles Salon and Spa in
San Juan, Puerto Rico, which she later sold in order to concentrate her energy on running both franchises. In 2009, shortly after
Mayra Matos was crowned
Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2009, Febles lost the
Miss Puerto Rico Universe franchise to
Luisito Vigoreaux and
Desiree Lowry, who took over the training of Matos and renamed the pageant
Miss Universe Puerto Rico. Febles' alleged treatment of
Ingrid Rivera,
Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2008, and problems with the organization are allegedly reasons for her losing the franchise.
Miss Haiti In 2010, she began managing the
Miss Haiti Universe franchise. A delegate from
Haiti had not placed in Miss Universe from 1975, when
Gerthie David finished as 1st Runner-Up in the contest and the second black woman to be placed in the finals, until 2016, a year after Febles lost the franchise rights, when
Raquel Pélissier finished as 1st Runner-Up as well. In 2016, the license of Miss Haiti Universe was awarded to Chris Puesan from the Dominican Republic, a pageant coach and license holder. ==References==
