The Miss Universe Philippines pageant has already announced the official candidates for its 2023 competition, and the roster includes three mothers — Clare Dacanay, Joemay-An Leo, and 2018 Miss
The three ladies were among the 40 successful applicants who hurdled the final screening conducted at the Citadines Bay City Manila Bay in Pasay City on Feb. 18. The national organization’s move to accept married women and those who have borne children is in line with the Miss Universe Organization’s new policy that expands the qualifications of eligible applicants.
Michelle Dee, daughter of 1979 Miss International Melanie Marquez who was proclaimed Miss Universe Philippines Tourism in last year’s competition, stages a comeback. She has already represented the Philippines in the 2019 Miss World pageant where she finished in the Top 12. Another global Filipino beauty in the roster is 2021 Reina Hispanoamericana tercera finalista Emmanuelle Vera, who now goes by her real surname Camcam.
Former Mutya ng Pilipinas Global Beauty Queen Pauline Amelincx, who finished fourth in the first Miss Universe Philippines pageant in 2020 and was proclaimed Miss Universe Philippines Charity in last year’s contest, has joined Dee in staging a comeback. This will be her third shot at the crown. She was supposed to represent the Philippines in the 2018 Miss Global Beauty Queen in Korea, but the competition was cancelled.
They are joined by reigning beauty queens from the provinces—Miss Baguio Krishnah Gravidez, Miss Universe Palawan Louise Gallardo, and Miss Batangas Universe Karen Joyce Olfato—and 2017 Miss Camiguin Hyra Desiree Betito.
