<p><strong>Miss Universe Philippines 2024</strong>&#x27;s coronation night is almost here! The Coronation will take place on May 22, 8PM, at the MOA Arena. </p><div><br/></div><p>The event will be hosted by <a href="https://metro.style/people/celebrities/kathryn-bernardo-alden-richards-hello-love-again/38108" target="_blank"><em><strong>Hello, Love, Again</strong></em> star <strong>Alden Richards</strong></a>, Miss Universe 2022 <strong><a href="https://metro.style/people/society-personalities/fil-am-usa-r-bonney-gabriel-is-miss-universe-2022/34676" target="_blank">R’Bonney Gabriel</a></strong>, and host/TV personality <strong>Jeannie Mai</strong>. Also joining them to take on hosting duties are <strong>Tim Yap</strong> and <strong>Gabbi Garcia</strong>. Filipino rock band <strong>Lola Amour</strong>, drag queen <strong>Marina Summers</strong>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB6xhl4Ta3k" target="_blank">Thai superstar <strong>Win Metawin</strong></a> are among the performers and special guests. </p><div><br/></div><p>Since the delegates were officially presented last February, they have gone through intense training and a series of challenges that highlighted their strengths best. We think this Miss Universe Philippines 2024 batch has many beautiful, confident, and empowered queens-in-the-making. But, there are a few who really stood out to us not just for their physical appearances but also for how they present themselves and express who they are and what they believe in. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Check the gallery below for our Top 5 Miss Universe Philippines 2024 delegates:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/0c0fd881-78cb-457f-86e0-ca23578de9c6_miss%20universe%20philippines%202024%20metro%20picks%20landscape%20banner.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/37b117b6-6486-4cd2-bffc-26003de7c175_428615003_18094110460397868_6297148189496614112_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c4763354-4ae7-41dc-b27a-226728106037_431203983_18095045086397868_1758954458841389963_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7d62df22-8f99-4e35-a85a-bb3efec89eba_431444071_990600442424057_2510558409958225720_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/bc773d6e-abf5-49c5-b972-bd5f3e6e97cd_428617532_18094109920397868_6766677050244194763_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/8139801c-bfe4-41fd-8a65-5c80fd60d530_431018082_18095044714397868_4815549438568001280_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/409380eb-66c4-4f5d-b42e-5d41267c553f_431031235_990596425757792_5324455295639369801_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/f87e8935-ca6a-4a9d-ba56-146af317b8f4_428609137_18094108876397868_8586238265524330449_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/87f14623-45bc-4be7-8a3c-fc023c4cf92a_431018168_18095042677397868_2245657487336135427_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/21cf332c-907e-4da9-8fe7-b79cb4e98a8c_430991754_990578389092929_3494839306061896395_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/37612e2e-957b-4332-b435-a79119843800_428608695_18094109710397868_5361673593172359024_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/b0831609-54f0-4964-a3e5-d8b328874c38_431020092_18095043523397868_3910021177609702284_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2f882955-a511-47a5-b844-58d1729af6b0_431892080_990594789091289_7395975750850446610_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/169a9af7-f591-47f9-b85d-70831569c23a_428606034_18094109098397868_3456896200637569047_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/88093807-109a-4c7f-918b-8ef6fa73e8c4_431219056_18095042848397868_5116531435519430547_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/26d7e08f-4979-4b9c-b0a0-5fbd03f25cb4_432024018_990580975759337_2155467910283470721_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Tarah Valencia (Baguio) - The 22-year-old beauty queen aspirant graduated cum laude in Tourism. What motivated her to join Miss Universe Philippines 2024 was her shared goal with her late father, who wished to see her crowned as a beauty queen. Recalling that painful experience of losing her father, Tarah said, “Even the darkest of days can bring the brightest of opportunities as long as you let yourself be filled with the light your loved ones give you.” She describes herself as someone super jolly but that she’s a bit introverted. Thankfully, her Miss Universe Philippines journey has indeed helped her improve in socializing and communicating with others. She’s a winner in photo shoots and runway walks, but she can do better in terms of being more confident in interviews or Q&amp;As.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Tarah Valencia (Baguio)</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Tarah Valencia (Baguio)</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Kris Tiffany Janson (Cebu) - This is not Kris’ first pageant. In fact, this model/host/public servant was already a pageant titleholder. But at 34, she still holds on to her dream of making it bigger as a beauty queen and conquering the universe. The stage and the runway are familiar for her, and she really exudes confidence in and out of these platforms. But there’s also a sense of newness and quiet intensity in her approach to her game, building on her previous pageant experiences. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Kris Tiffany Janson (Cebu)</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Kris Tiffany Janson (Cebu)</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Christi Lynn McGarry (Taguig) - Christi, 33, is the perfect emodiment of a woman who wears many hats. She’s a host, TV personality, model, DJ, and wellness advocate. An outdoorsy, sporty, and adventurous girl, she loves exploring beaches but the next place she wants to explore is the universe! With her experience in the pageant scene, having been previously crowned and given the opportunity to represent the Philippines, Christi is a strong contender for the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 title. And because she&#x27;s a host, she can articulate her thoughts eloquently, a definite bonus for the dreaded Q&amp;A portion.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Christi Lynn McGarry (Taguig)</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Christi Lynn McGarry (Taguig)</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Alexie Caimoso Brooks (Iloilo City) - Hailing from the City of Love is 22-year-old Alexie. She’s an athlete, a member of the Philippine national team for track and field who was awarded as the fifth best heptathlete in the country. She’s also big on women empowerment, drawing motivation from her humble beginnings in Iloilo and how she overcame bullying; she aims to provide Filipinas with the same opportunities she found through sports with her advocacy, Abanse Babae. A game-changer in Miss Universe Philippines 2024, Alexie has consistently ranked top in challenges such as the Swimsuit, National Costume, and Runway.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Alexie Caimoso Brooks (Iloilo City)</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Alexie Caimoso Brooks (Iloilo City)</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Ma. Ahtisa Manalo (Quezon Province) - Ahtisa, 26, is an entrepreneur who started a business back when she was 21. She inspires with her entrepreneurial spirit and radiates positivity. Since she had experienced representing the Philippines in a pageant abroad, there’s no denying she made the most of her learning there to stand out in this year’s edition of Miss Universe Philippines. As one of the favorites of pageant fans, Ahtisa consistently impressed in different challenges; she was part of the Top 5 for the Swimsuit and Runway challenges. When asked what she’d like to change about herself, she said it’s her being an overthinker; but even so, we like that she doesn’t seem to overthink her performances because she’s very natural and at ease with what she does. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Ma.
