Building bridges in the midst of national issues

It was another evening of pomp and pageantry as this year’s Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Philippines culminated in a spectacular display of Chinoy pride, where 25 young contestants — 13 men and 12 women — strutted down the SM Mall of Asia Arena stage for the Grand Coronation Night.

Prior to the Grand Coronation Night, the pageant unveiled the new Phoenix Crown during the Chinatown Ball, mastercrafted by Hoseki Jewelry Art — ushering in a new era for the Chinatown pageant.
