Three breathtaking representatives from Laguna province have already won the hearts of pageant enthusiasts, showcasing their elegant gowns in anticipation of the Miss Universe Philippines 2026 coronation night, scheduled for May 1.
Ysabel Prats dazzled in her strapless, jewel-encrusted gown, showcasing a stunning flowing blue fringed skirt.
Scarlett Anne de Mesa, a native of Los Baños, radiated a classic elegance. Gold details and a striking slit highlighted her gown, a deep, lustrous black.
