The moment Eloisa Jauod, 2025 Miss Universe Philippines-Laguna won the crown, she instantly dedicated her win to her late mother, Elena Jauod.
Eloisa, right after the coronation night, went to the memorial garden where her mom is resting to offer on her grave the crown, sash and flowers her daughter had received.
“I can't put into words how much I wish you were here to see this. I did it. The dream we shared, the one you believed in so deeply for both of us.
“Every step of this journey has been for you, with you in my heart. This isn't just my dream; it's ours. It's all the sacrifices you made, the love you gave, the belief you instilled in me. I carry all of that with me, always.
“I wish you could be here to see it, to witness the dream you helped nurture in me come to life. I know you're watching, proud and smiling.
“Thank you for being my guiding star, I love you forever, Mommy!” noted the San Pedro City maiden on her digital pages with heart and butterfly emojis.
According to her profile, Eloisa is from Barangay Landayan.
Jauod became Miss San Pedro in 2018 and Miss Laguna in 2019. She was also presented Female Model of the Year at Catwalk Philippines 2018 Modelling Competition at Eat Bulaga's Miss Millennial Philippines Laguna 2019. She is currently a model for a popular multinational drugstore chain, the first Asian hired for it.
After the coronation night, Eloisa paid a courtesy visit to the City Hall of San Pedro where she was warmly welcomed and received by the City Government of San Pedro officials led by Mayor Art Mercado and his wife Mika Mercado and the Head of the City Youth and Sports Development (CYSD) Glenn Torrecampo.
Eloisa will compete in the Miss Universe Philippines this year.
