The winner of the 2023 edition will follow the reign of Miss Universe Philippines Celeste Cortesi, who ended the 12-year streak of the country in the Miss Universe pageant after she failed to enter the semi-finals.

“Ginalaw na ang baso”

Most pageant fans use the phrase “ginalaw na ang baso” to indicate that a frontrunner is showing interest in joining the pageant again.

Pageant fans are eyeing the return of Miss International finalist Ahtisa Manalo to the universe stage along with Miss Universe Philippines 2022 placers Michelle Dee and Pauline Amelinckx.

They are yet to confirm their participation in the 2023 edition, but some cryptic posts have circulated online after Michelle Dee posted a photo with the caption #DeepaTapos.
