No age requirements and allowing divorced, mothers, and married wimen — threat to Miss Universe?

It is officially pageant season! With only a month left until Miss Universe Philippines 2024 Coronation, every Filipino has been looking for updates, choosing favorites, and eyeing the frontrunners. The enthusiasm and, as pageantry is embedded in our culture, we await who will be the next Miss Universe Philippines to shout ‘Filipinas!’ at the Miss Universe 2024 stage in Mexico City this September.

Along with this is the controversy surrounding a leaked footage of owner JKN Ms. Anne Jakrajutatip meeting, discussing how opening the competition to all ages, marital statuses, and mothers is just for publicity and they are merely tolerated rather than accepted to actually be a contender for the crown. This enraged fans, especially having these very people competing not having high placements at previous editions of the competition.

Nonetheless, the show must go on, and there is a bright side to this. Miss Universe Philippines 2024 might just be the most anticipated as every overaged frontrunner decided to give it one last push. The name mentioned every year being Ma. Ahtisa Manalo from Quezon Province surprised as a competitor and with veterans like Christi Mcgarry from Taguig City coming back. The pool just got a lot larger and the more experienced girls came to the party.

We just have to watch out find out with time what is to go down with this controversy. Will it be the downfall of the Miss Universe Franchise? Or will it be a redirection of the owner Ms. Anne and Miss Universe remains as the most awaited pageant? Pageant Fans let’s still support local competition as they promise fairness despite the international scene’s mess.

Fearless Forecast, 2024 edition

With just a few hours before the coronation night, and having less than a day to prepare. ‘Coz I’m busy at work and... Empire PH just can’t finish a damn edition without f*cking something up.

Anyway. Keeping with my tradition, here are my top picks for the crown of Miss Universe Philippines 2024.

And can I just say… This year’s competition is an epic bardagulan. The quality of candidates have leveled up since the past years—which is actually good for us pageant fans and quite disheartening from the point of view of the candidates, knowing that only one woman would earn the right to wear the Philippine sash in the Miss Universe stage later this year. There are many candidates who deserve to win the crown, and many candidates who deserve at least a spot on the Top 20. And yeah, I know there are four other titles at stake, but only one will be MUPH.

My Top 5

If any of them wins the crown, I won’t question it.

Quezon Province • Taguig • Bacoor • Bulacan • UK

Quezon Province was the front-runner from the beginning and she did not disappoint. If Miss Universe is happening tomorrow, we can send her and we would still have high chances of winning our 5th crown. My only concern with her is her communication skills because other contenders could eat her up in this round.

Taguig. The veteran. And it shows. This can both be negative or positive, but it’s so evident that she’s a pro at what she’s doing and she exudes a queenly aura without having to do as much as the other candidates do.

I liked Bacoor back in 2021, and I like her even more now. When everyone’s performance feels so manufactured, she has this easy and genuine glow about her and it’s so beautiful to witness. I never thought that she’d be dangerous, but she is.

Bulacan is the black girl that deserves more attention. Really. I’ve noticed her since the pre-pageant activities, and I don’t know why people haven’t been talking about her as much. Now it feels like everyone just saw her for the first time.

United Kingdom is the best candidate from a Filipino community abroad. She speaks and performs well, and if she can’t win a crown, she at least deserves to be on the top. I never expected to put her up this high, seeing how she did in the previous activities, but I saw her growth and she now has a fighting chance for the crown.

The Next Five

Cainta • Palawan • Iloilo • Florida • Cavite

Any of these five can pull a surprise come finals night.

Iloilo is in the Top 5 of all challenges—she has the biggest fanbase, from the looks of it—so she’s definitely a shoo-in for the finals, and though I like that she toned down her walk on her preliminary performance, I still feel like it’s bordering Miss Grand.

Cainta is the beautifully manufactured barbie doll. She did well on all segments of the competition, but I kinda feel it’s not authentic.

Palawan, Florida, and Cavite are the very pleasant surprises and I don’t see any reason for them not to be in the finals.

Yet Another Five

Australia • Bantayan Island • Cebu • Baguio • Naic

Cebu and Baguio are the most popular girls here, and I was expecting a lot from them, but I was let down. Still, I think they’ve done enough to be in the finals.

Australia, Bantayan Island, and Naic are the darkhorses. People should pay more attention to them.

My Other Notable Favorites

When I tabulated my scores for the preliminary competition, I kept saying, “Oh my god,” on repeat because there were some fan-favorite girls who were left out. And then… those on 18th to 25th places were on a tie. 😅

Anyway…

Hawaii, Pasig, Tacloban, Zambales and Laguna all gave memorable performances. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d also see Southern California, Northern California, Mandaue and Davao City in the finals.

BALITANG SHOWBIZ: Negros Island Region fails to make on top at the Miss Universe: Philippines 2023

PASAY, MANILA -- In a fierce competition at Miss Universe: Philippines 2023, both Negros Oriental and Occidental (part of Negros Island Region) did not hold the top position Saturday night (May 13th, 2023 -- Manila local time) at the ShoeMart Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, Metro Manila. 25 y/o named Vanessa Maria Yuson-Matzeit of Sibulan, Negros Oriental failed to make the Top 18, while 22 y/o named Jan Marie Bordon of Bacolod, Negros Occidental failed to make the Top 5.

In an exclusive radio report of DWFH-FM 97.7mhz's Radyo Bandera: Sweet FM Dumaguete and DYQU-FM 103.9mhz's Radyo Bandera: Sweet FM Bacolod, Matzeit is known for a Filipina-German to be moved from a main home country of Germany to Sibulan town of Negros Oriental, which is not independently verified to OneNETnews.

While Bordon was based in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental known also from the City of Smiles.

Despite this setback, the Philippines was still happy when Michelle Marquez Dee, female daughter of Melanie Marquez was recently won and took the coveted crown. Representing Makati City in Metro Manila, Michelle wowed the judges with her grace, poise and wit, earning her own national title of a beauty pageant event.

The competition was a tense affair with 40 talented contestants vying for the crown. The event was watched by millions of fans nationwide, who cheered on their favorite contestants in hopes of seeing their country's representative in the Philippines to take home the crown.

It is particularly important occasion when Miss Universe 2023 is expected to take place in El Salvador later this year. This is the first time the competition has taken place in this Central American country, which is known for its beautiful landscapes, customs and vibrant culture.

In the end, Michelle achieves her sweet success to represent Makati alone and the Philippines is proud to see her represent their country at Miss Universe 2023.

With her beauty, intelligence, and confidence -- aside from the Negros Island Region's participation, Makati is ready to conquer the world stage and bring home the coveted Miss Universe crown, aside for our Negrosanons in full supportive country.
