From Spanish Rule To Miss Universe: Why Some Filipinos Still Struggle With Colorism.
Over 400 years of colonization ingrained Eurocentric ideals glorifying lighter skin tones. Examining this legacy is key to understanding colorism's insidious impacts on Filipino society today. The backlash against Chelsea Manalo's win underscores how much more progress is needed.

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.

Marilyn Mosby: A Controversial Figure in Baltimore's Legal Landscape
Marilyn Mosby served as the State's Attorney for Baltimore City, Maryland, from 2015 to 2023. Her tenure was marked by both ambitious reforms and a series of legal controversies that culminated in her federal indictment and conviction. This article explores Mosby's career, her policy initiatives, and the legal challenges that ultimately led to her downfall.
Early Career and Rise to Power
Mosby, a Democrat, rose to prominence in Baltimore's legal scene after graduating from Boston College Law School. She entered the Baltimore City State's Attorney race in 2014 on a platform of criminal justice reform, pledging to address issues of mass incarceration and racial disparities in the justice system. Her progressive stance resonated with Baltimore voters, and she won the election in a landslide victory.
Bold Initiatives and Reform Efforts
As State's Attorney, Mosby wasted no time implementing her reform agenda. She directed her office to stop prosecuting certain low-level offenses, including marijuana possession for personal use. She also established a unit focused on wrongful convictions and advocated for policies aimed at reducing recidivism rates. These initiatives garnered national attention and positioned Mosby as a leading voice in the national conversation on criminal justice reform.
The Freddie Gray Case and Aftermath
In 2015, the death of Freddie Gray, a young Black man, in police custody sparked widespread protests and calls for police accountability in Baltimore. Mosby's decision to file charges against six police officers involved in Gray's arrest was a bold move. However, the trials resulted in acquittals or dropped charges, fueling frustration within the community and raising questions about the strength of the prosecution's case.
Legal Troubles and Controversies
Mosby's tenure was not without its share of legal challenges. In 2022, she was indicted on federal charges of perjury and making false statements on a mortgage application. These charges stemmed from her failure to disclose her husband's financial contributions on loan documents. Mosby maintained her innocence, but a jury found her guilty on two counts each of perjury and false statement on a mortgage application. She was ultimately sentenced to home confinement and probation.
Legacy and Lingering Questions
Marilyn Mosby's story is a complex one. She entered office with a vision for reform but became entangled in legal troubles that overshadowed her policy initiatives. While her supporters credit her with taking a stand against police brutality and advocating for a fairer justice system, her critics point to the dropped charges in the Freddie Gray case and her own legal issues as evidence of mismanagement and poor judgment. Mosby's legacy in Baltimore remains a topic of debate, serving as a cautionary tale about the challenges of enacting progressive reforms within a complex legal system.

To see a brown Miss Philippines for the first time had me in literal tears. I didn't even know I still cared about those pageants until I saw the news and got all choked up. Chelsea Manalo is gorgeous and I'm so happy to see the country slowly but surely outgrow colonial standards of beauty. Honestly, I never thought I'd see the day.
(I know racism is still a huge problem there but at the very least I hope seeing her in the media will inspire some girls to throw away the papaya soap. 😭)

Congratulations to @manalochelsea! Chelsea makes history as the first #Black & #Filipino-American representative of the #Philippines for Miss Universe! 👑
Following the theme of "Love For All," delegates shared their thoughts on the kind of love that makes a woman both inspiring & transformational. ❤️🔥
Chelsea Anne Manalo — born on October 14, 1999 under the astrological sign Libra — is 25 years old. ♎️
She is a proud #FilipinoAmerican Bulakenya who was raised in Meycauayan City, Bulacan. She was born in the Philippines to a Black American father & a Filipino mother, who separated in 2000. Following the divorce, her mother remarried a Filipino man. In 2004, she reconnected with her biological father in the United States, where she completed her grade school education. 🇵🇭🇺🇸
Before graduating from a tourism college, she expressed deep passion for music, dancing & modeling. Her journey into the world of beauty pageants began during high school. 🎵💃🏿💋
Chelsea is a professional model who has been gracing the cover of magazines, starring in commercials & print ads since 2013 at the age of 14. In 2021, she became a @benchbodyph endorser. 👠
Outside of high school, Chelsea's major debut into the pageant scene was through #MissWorldPhilippines 2017, she competed against 34 other candidates & made the Top 15. 💅🏿
On February 17, 2024, she was officially appointed Miss Universe Bulacan 2024. She also earned the title "Bulacan Barbie." Her advocacy reads: "Championing Indigenous Youth Education." Her advocacy aims to provide opportunities for #indigenousyouth to access quality education & unlock their full potential. 👯♀️
"As a woman of color, I've always faced challenges in my life. I was told that beauty has standards actually. But I have listened to always believe in my mother, to always believe in yourself, uphold the vows that you have in yourself. Because of that, I am already influencing a lot of women who are facing me right now as a transformational woman. I have here 52 other delegates with me who have helped me become the woman I am today." 👸🏾
As fellow #BlackFilipina #Saweetie would say: "IKDR!" Congratulations Chelsea! 🏴🇵🇭🇺🇸

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.
