At the upcoming Miss Universe 2024 in Mexico, itβs not just one Filipina aiming for the crownβitβs like a Miss Universe Philippines all-star reunion, with Filipinas proudly representing different nations.
The camaraderie and warmth among them shine through in their charming social media interactions, bringing a joyful dose of Filipina energy to pageant fans worldwide.
Here are some fun moments from their streams.
βRice is Lifeβ
Youβre not really Filipino if you donβt eat every meal with riceβafter all, rice is life!
Miss Universe Philippines Chelsea Manalo recently shared a relatable moment with her fellow contestant and Filipina representing New Zealand, Victoria Velasquez Vincent. As they enjoyed a meal together, Manalo playfully described how one course arrived with a large serving of fish but, to her dismay, an unexpectedly tiny portion of βkaninβ (rice). With a laugh, she illustrated just how small it was using a hand gesture.

Vincent, Miss Universe Philippines Charity 2021, couldnβt help but giggle, chiming in with a lighthearted βmaliit na mountainβ to describe the mini mound of rice. The two shared a warm, humorous moment that many Filipinos know all too well, sparking laughter and nostalgia for the love of rice.
βTagalog Beauty Queensβ
In a recent TikTok Live, Manalo shared a fun, all-Filipina moment with Miss Universe Bahrain 2024, Shereen Ahmed, and Vincent. Switching comfortably into Tagalog, the three enjoyed light-hearted banter with their followers.

When another viewer commented on how cute Miss Bahrain sounded speaking Tagalog, Ahmed, quick to respond, laughed and replied, βCute ba? Derecho naman Tagalog ko diba?β

In a now-expired Instagram story, Miss Universe Philippines 2024 semi-finalist turned Miss Universe Great Britain, Christina Dela Cruz Chalk, showed off her powerful βpasarelaβ as she confidently walked past the camera.
