Chelsea Anne Manalo Crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2024

Filipino Model and Beauty Pageant Titleholder to Represent the Philippines

Chelsea Anne Manalo, a Filipino model and beauty pageant titleholder, has been crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2024. She will represent the Philippines at the prestigious Miss Universe pageant later this year.

Manalo was crowned during a glittering ceremony held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila on May 22. She bested 52 other hopefuls from across the country to claim the coveted title. The coronation night was a star-studded affair, with performances by top Filipino artists and appearances by previous Miss Universe winners.

Manalo's victory is a major achievement for the Philippines, which has a rich history in the Miss Universe pageant. The country has produced three Miss Universe winners: Gloria Diaz in 1969, Margie Moran in 1973, and Pia Wurtzbach in 2015. Manalo will now carry the hopes of the Philippines as she competes against women from around the world for the coveted Miss Universe crown.
