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.

Jewel Alexandria Palacat has made it to the Top 50 of Miss Universe Philippines 2022 and will be representing Ilocot Sur. The 22 years-old diva believes that, “Miss Universe Philippines is a platform that celebrates Filipino women for all that they are. It is also a great avenue to use our voices to discuss certain issues that can uplift the lives of people who are living in the grassroots and those who are marginalized by the society that is the main reason why I am here.”

She also shared, “I deserve to be the next Miss Universe Philippines because I aim to not only promote women’s rights and inclusivity but to be a spokesperson as someone who was raised by farmers, I am here to raise my advocacy which is supporting local businesses and farmers. I am determined and I know that I am capable because I am empowered.”

Not new to pageantry, the diva has been a part of pageantry for many years and won several titles including, Miss Candon 2015, Philippine Tourism Millennial Ambassador 2018, Miss Silka Ilocandia 2019, Saniata ti Ylocos Sur 2018 and Miss Millennial Ilocos Sur 2018.

With her dedication, determination and experience as a beauty queen, Jewel can definitely be a strong contender for this year’s court. She has it all what it takes to be a phenomenal woman and represent the women of Philippines.
