Padayhag proceeded to thank the national pageant organization, the Pangasinan provincial government and local government units in the province, as well as Fuentes’ supporters from the private sector and her team and family “for the overwhelming support.”
For its part, the Miss Universe Philippines organization said, “in light of the withdrawal of Ms. Evangeline Fuentes due to health reasons, Kristeen will be representing the beautiful province of Apayao for Miss Universe Philippines 2023!” This is the fourth installment of the standalone national pageant that selects the Philippines’ representative to the Miss Universe competition. It first crowned Rabiya Mateo in 2020, who eventually finished in the Top 21 of the international competition. Beatrice Luigi Gomez captured the national title in 2021, and finished in the Top 5 of the global tilt.
Reigning queen Celeste Cortesi will relinquish the Miss Universe Philippines title to her successor who will compete in the 2023 Miss Universe pageant in El Salvador later this year.
