The Philippines has long been a powerhouse in the world of pageantry, with a legacy that stretches across decades of international beauty competitions. In 2024, that legacy continues with not one, but three incredible Filipinas taking the global stage to represent their country at Miss Universe 2024. These queens embody not only beauty and grace but also intelligence, advocacy, and cultural pride.
This year’s twist? The Miss Universe Organization has introduced a progressive update to its rules, allowing more than one representative from a single country. As a result, three remarkable Filipinas from different parts of the world have emerged as official candidates: Philippines, USA, and Bahrain—all with Filipino roots and unique stories to tell.
Let’s meet the trailblazing trio ready to bring the Filipino spirit to the Miss Universe stage. ownthatcrown.com
1. Michelle Dee – Miss Universe Philippines 2024
A familiar face and a fan favorite, Michelle Dee is no stranger to the spotlight. A model, actress, and beauty queen, Michelle first captured hearts when she won the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 title and proudly represented the country in El Salvador.
Now stepping back onto the global stage with renewed vigor, Michelle is back to represent the Philippines again in 2024 after the MUO opened the door for returning candidates. Her advocacy focuses on autism awareness, inspired by her siblings, and she continues to be a strong voice for inclusivity and diversity.
With a magnetic stage presence, years of experience, and unwavering support from her countrymen, Michelle is set to make a deeper impact this time around.
2. Isabella Garcia – Miss Universe USA 2024
Representing the United States but proudly embracing her Filipino heritage, Isabella Garcia is a rising star in the world of pageantry. Born and raised in California to a Filipino mother, Isabella brings a beautiful fusion of cultures to the Miss Universe platform.
A passionate advocate for mental health and youth empowerment, she works closely with organizations that support young women in marginalized communities. Her poise, eloquence, and multicultural background make her a standout candidate, embodying the spirit of global unity and cultural pride.
Isabella has often spoken about how her Filipino upbringing taught her resilience, hospitality, and grace—traits that she proudly carries as she steps into the spotlight on the world stage.
3. Maria Angelica Ramos – Miss Universe Bahrain 2024
Perhaps the most unexpected yet exciting addition to the trio, Maria Angelica Ramos, a Filipino-born beauty living in the Middle East, will be waving the flag for Bahrain. A nurse by profession and model by passion, Angelica has captured hearts in her adopted home country with her compassion, elegance, and story of perseverance.
Living in Bahrain for several years, she has become a role model in the local community, promoting healthcare access and women’s education. Despite being in a region where pageantry is relatively new, Angelica’s presence in the competition is a powerful symbol of diversity and inclusion.
Her Filipino roots, combined with her Bahraini experiences, create a compelling narrative of unity in diversity.
A Unified Filipino Spirit
What makes this year’s Miss Universe truly special is not just the representation of the Philippines but the global Filipino identity. Each of these women represents a different face of the modern Filipina—one raised in the homeland, one from the diaspora, and one thriving in a multicultural environment far from home.
Their stories are inspiring testaments to the resilience, beauty, and brilliance of Filipino women across the world. Whether born in the Philippines or raised abroad, these queens carry the same passion and pride in their heritage.
Social media has been buzzing with support, as Filipinos across continents celebrate this historic moment. The shared sentiment is clear: no matter where in the world a Filipina may be, her spirit remains undeniably Pinay.
Eyes on the Crown
As Miss Universe 2024 draws near, all eyes are on this extraordinary trio. Pageant fans are eager to see how each queen will make her mark—not just with beauty and style but with substance and heart.
Whether it’s Michelle Dee’s unwavering advocacy for autism awareness, Isabella Garcia’s dedication to mental health, or Angelica Ramos’ fight for better healthcare access, each candidate is more than just a titleholder—they are changemakers.
Win or lose, these three Filipinas have already made history by simply standing tall, proud, and united. They remind us that the Miss Universe stage is not just about crowns and sashes—it’s about the stories, struggles, and strengths that shape women into leaders.
In 2024, the world will see not just one, but three beautiful representations of what it means to be a Filipina. And that, in itself, is a victory worth celebrating. ownthatcrown.com
