Miss Universe Philippines 2022, the 3rd edition of the Miss Universe Philippines, will be held on 30th April 2022 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Bay City, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. Beatrice Luigi Gomez of Cebu City will crown her successor at the end of the event finale.

Dorothy Marie Gemillan has made it to the Top 50 of Miss Universe Philippines 2022 representing Iloilo City. Dorothy is a 21 year-old a 3rd year Nursing student at the Central Philippines University. She could be a popular journalist in the future as she has won various awards in journalism, essay and creative writing.

“It’s a wide array of emotions, honestly. There are times when it excites me, and moments when I get terrified as well. But overall, I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity to represent Iloilo City in one of the most prestigious pageants in the Philippines. There is no greater honor than this,” Gemillan said.

Being a delegate of the national pageant along with being a student has strengthened her, sharpened her management skill, made her realize what should she prioritize first and that is to make that Ilonggos could be proud of her. “The women of Iloilo are fearless, intelligent, tenderhearted, and oozing with substance. We honor our culture, gracefully handle adversities, and welcome changes. These traits, in my opinion, perfectly encapsulate the modern-day Filipina,” she shared.

Recently she was crowned Miss Iloilo City Universe by Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo. The diva might have a strong chance of pulling off a sandwich victory for Iloilo City. To her, being one of Miss Universe Philippines 2022 candidates is a great opportunity and honor.
