The two mom queens are the very firsts from Negros Occidental and Bacolod to be sent to the MUP stage in Metro Manila next year, ever since the Miss Universe Organization in 2023 allowed married women, mothers, and transgenders to join withA mestiza stunner, the 5’6″ Laguibla didn’t expect to dominate the pageant, considering that the other contestants were no ordinary foes. But with her persistence, confidence, and “” mantra, she proved that motherhood doesn’t have to be a hindrance.
But when Miss Universe Organization revised its rules and guidelines allowing wives, mothers, transgenders last year, it was a breakthrough for Bobe’s dream. She prepared for the first ever MUP-Negros search, and she succeeded. “Joining this pageant as a mother is not just about embracing my journey; it’s about inspiring others to chase their dreams fearlessly, regardless of their roles or life stages,” Laguibla stressed, adding, “I believe we should celebrate all body types and focus on self-acceptance rather than conforming to unrealistic standards.” This, as she said that true beauty is found in embracing who you are.
