These 5 beauties are queens on TikTok, too

It's no secret that Filipinos are big on beauty pageants. Much like sporting events, on coronation nights, Filipinos unite to support the country's representative, cheering her on together with the entire nation. The Philippines is also considered a beauty pageant powerhouse, and thanks to our commitment to the art of pageantry, we are currently the second most crowned country in international beauty pageants. We are also one of only 5 countries who have won each of the Big Four international pageants -- Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International, and Miss Earth - at least once.

The inspiring Filipinas who have competed in international pageants are all strong women, who, in their own ways, help push for women empowerment in the country. They are inspiring and fun, too, just like TikTok, and they share this side of themselves with fans and followers through their posts on the app.
