The last time the Miss Manila pageant was held was in 2018, which was two city administrations ago. Now Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan has revived the beloved competition to find what she said are “women of worth.” | diyarista
Another national pageant veteran among the roster is Juvyel Anne Saluta from Pandacan. Even as the youngest contestant at 18, she has already taken part in two national competitions — the 2021 Miss Bikini Philippines and 2022 Miss FIT Philippines pageants.
She also said she has been dreaming of joining the Miss Manila pageant since she was studying accountancy at the University of Santo Tomas. But her parents asked her to prioritize her studies first. She graduated cum laude and passed the licensure examinations for certified public accountants, but the contest was not held by that time.
Julie Tarrayo from Santa Cruz has already represented the Philippines in the 2021 Miss Multiverse pageant, where she advanced to the Top 10. But she said she found the “motivation” to compete in a city pageant to tell the people about agricultural entrepreneurship. “I work with farmers and fishermen, not only here in Manila but also in provinces, where I get resources from,” she said.
