Once revealed, this new crown will be the second for the pageant, after the “Filipina” crown that was first revealed in 2020. That first crown has diamonds, gold South Sea pearls, a sapphire, ruby, and a topaz, with an estimated worth of PhP5 million.

Upon its reveal, the organization also shared the meaning behind the crown. The sapphire, ruby, and topaz of the crown represent the Philippine flag, while the pearls represent “creativity, intelligence, optimism, and fear of God.”

Meanwhile, the diamonds are meant to stand for the smiles of the people that the winning candidate will encounter during her reign, while the swirl of leaves represents the different forms of success that the Filipina seeks while keeping Filipino values in her heart.
