Miss Universe Philippines (MUP) released the “Filipina” crown which will be given by the first titlist under the new organization. The coronation night will be on Sunday, October 25, 2020.

The crown was made by the Villarica family, Villarica Pawnshop was founded by Paz Resureccion Villarica, and is currently run by Atty. Hailey Villarica-Ong.

According to Miss Universe Philippine’s official Facebook account, “The crown represents the achievement of one’s mind over the body as a Filipina. It will be a symbol of triumph over one’s journey of trials, hard work, and perseverance in obtaining one’s dream. A dream that has become a reality that would inhabit her mind, heart, and spirit.”

“The elements of the FILIPINA crown reflect the true meaning of womanhood. The swirl of leaves are like the lives of every woman who seeks success in different forms yet still keeps the Filipino values in their hearts. Every diamond embedded in each leaf lusters like smiles that sparkle the lives of people that she encounters. The yellow pearls express creativity, intelligence, optimism and fear of God – characteristics that make every Filipina a gem in her family. Sapphire, Ruby and Topaz represent the flag of every proud Filipina, a woman who believes in the beauty of her race, the strength that runs in the veins of her blood and the beat of her heart that would always describe a true FILIPINA,” they added.

According to the pageant organization, “We are very grateful to them for stepping up to the challenge of creating this masterpiece. More than their expertise on gems and jewelry, they provided us with valuable insights on the significance of precious stones and what each one represents. These gems are emblems of dreams, ambition, happiness, pride, self-worth, and empowerment.”
