Just days before the coronation night, the Miss Universe Philippines organization unveiled the brand-new crown called "La Mer en Majesté Crown" which highlights the country's gemstone, the golden South Sea pearls.
On Tuesday, the MUPH shared a glimpse of the crown, which was created in partnership with Jewelmer. The new crown symbolizes "the harmonious relationship between man and nature, capturing the very spirit of the Filipinos."
"Through meaningful discoveries and explorations of her vibrant splendor, we have learned from the sea’s enchanting depths," the organization said.
"And over time, the sea reveals her secrets. She gifts us with something phenomenal, something uniquely beautiful: The National Gem of the Philippines, the golden South Sea pearl," it added.
Presenting the new crown to the guests were Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Luigi Gomez and Miss Universe Philippines 2011 and MUPH national director Shamcey Supsup.
The Miss Universe Philippines 2022 coronation night is set for Saturday, April 30, at the Mall of Asia Arena with 32 stunning Filipinas vying to take home the most coveted crown.
The winner will succeed Beatrice Gomez of Cebu City, who finished in the Top 5 of the 70th Miss Universe in Israel last year.
Former Miss Universe titleholders Pia Wurtzbach (2015), Iris Mittenaere (2016), and Demi-Leigh Tebow (2017) will serve as the coronation night’s hosts.
Reigning Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu is also confirmed to be one of the pageant’s special guests.
