Miss Universe Philippines organization has announced the Top 40 delegates who will be competing for the fourth edition of the national pageant. The finale date and time is yet to be announced for the pageant where Celeste Cortesi Miss Universe Philippines 2022 will crown her successor at the end of the event finale.

In a series of features, lets introduce the Top 40 delegates of Miss Universe Philippines 2023. Krishnah Gravidez, representing Baguio, has made it to the national pageant as the reigning Miss Baguio. She is a young, fresh and vivacious beauty queen who has impressed everyone with her personality.

Krishnah Gravidez is a 21-year-old civil engineering student. She is also a part of the ‘Colors of Kindness’, a charity organization to inspire, empower, and uplift the youth. She has an interesting story with her journey in pageantry.

When Gravidez was crowned Miss Baguio in August last year, she spoke about her journey in length. Three years ago, she let her doubts invade to the extent of making the decision to give up all the ambitions she had for pageantry. She focused on her everyday survival, especially when the horrible pandemic happened. But she believes if you have been called for a certain purpose, no matter how many times you turn your back from it, it will follow you.

“This dream of mine was not only achieved on the coronation day. I knew that the daily hard work and sacrifices that my team and I put in would be viewed as victories. No words can describe how grateful I am. Firstly, to our Almighty God, for giving me a stable mindset and for keeping me sane. All these achievements are in your name”, she quoted. Gravidez is going to be a strong and young beauty queen at the national pageant this year.
