 MUPh announces Top 5 winners in runway challenge

By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

The Miss Universe Philippines Organization announced the Top 5 winners in the Jojo Bragais' runway challenge. Since holding the national pageant in 2020, the pasarela competition has been an integral part of the annual search.

This year, the five delegates who broke through the online poll, in alphabetical order, are:

- Matea Mahal Smith (Florida)

- Alexie Mae Brooks (Iloilo)

- Angel Rose Tambal (Leyte)

- Ma. Ahtisa Manalo (Quezon Province), and

- Stephanie Faye Gerona (Quirino)

A candidate's pasarela shows her level of confidence, as well as her technical dexterity in executing their catwalk, turns, and twirls in instances where her stance and gait are being evaluated.

In a social media post, the organization wrote, "Pilipinas, here are your  choices! These are the Top 5 delegates in the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 UP Runway Challenge. Their placement was determined purely by your votes. Congratulations to these ladies!

"The Runway Challenge is brought to you by Jojo Bragais'. Walk, win! The winner of the Runway Challenge will.automatically get a spot at the finals."

During the finale, there will be special performance by Lola Amour and Met Metawin, aside from drag queen Marina Summers. The 2024 Miss Universe Philippines finale will unfold on May 22, 8 pm, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena!
