The journey of Philippine beauty queen Chelsea Manalo in the 73rd Miss Universe pageant, held in Mexico, was initially thought to be over by Filipino pageant fans after she failed to make it into the top 12.
However, the country’s representative gained renewed exposure after being awarded the Miss Universe-Asia title.
The sashing of four continental queens marks a historic moment in the Miss Universe pageant, as this is the first time such a segment has taken place. This ceremony occurred after the crowning of Miss Universe 2024, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig from Denmark. Alongside the Bulacan native, who was named Miss Universe-Asia, three other queens were crowned as continental titleholders. Finland’s Matilda Wirtavuori was named the continental queen for Europe and the Middle East, Peru’s Tatiana Calmell for the Americas, and Nigeria’s Chidimma Adetshina for Africa and Oceania.
Like the reigning Miss Universe, these queens will represent the continents associated with their titles and, according to Anne Jakrajutatip, the CEO of the beauty pageant, they will be traveling globally as part of their responsibilities.
