Chelsea Manalo, a 24-year-old Filipino American woman, made history on Wednesday as the first Black woman to be crowned Miss Universe Philippines.

Born to a Filipino mother and Black American father, Manalo's victory was hailed on social media as a significant step in challenging traditional beauty ideals in the country that have favored Eurocentric features and lighter skin tones influenced by the Philippines' colonial past.

The recent Miss Universe 2024 competition was a historic event, especially for Denmark, which won its first Miss Universe crown. Chelsea Manalo, representing the Philippines, performed commendably but only made it to the Top 30, which left many Filipino fans surprised and disheartened. Despite her "Tampisaw walk" and a strong showing in the swimsuit round, she did not advance to the Top 12, which included representatives from countries like Venezuela, Mexico, and Denmark.

Several factors could explain why Chelsea didn’t progress further. The judges’ evaluation encompassed not just stage presence but also the closed-door interviews and preliminary competitions. These are critical yet less visible parts of the scoring system. Additionally, this year’s competition featured a new format with a record 125 contestants, making the selection process highly competitive.

Chelsea's elimination from the Top 12 was met with disbelief, as fans and analysts had high expectations for her based on her early performances and preparation. Nonetheless, she was recognized as Miss Universe Asia and is expected to continue making her mark in international engagements.

The Top 5 placements emphasized diversity, with Nigeria and Denmark securing podium finishes for the first time, alongside perennial powerhouses like Venezuela. While Chelsea didn’t advance further, her journey remains a source of pride for the Philippines and a testament to her poise and dedication.
