Mutya ng Pilipinas Alyssa Redondo third queen to win both swimsuit, gown awards




September 9 ------ Recently-crowned Mutya ng Pilipinas-Intercontinental Alyssa Redondo is the third major national pageant titleholder to bag two major special awards in her national competition just this quarter alone, the first two being the top winners of the Binibining Pilipinas and Miss World Philippines contests. 

  

Winning Best in Swimsuit is a major feat for a pageant aspirant, an award that almost always guarantees a crown in the end. But also getting the Best in Gown award is a rare occurrence, even with perceived strong contenders. Redondo did just that, taking both major special awards, and eventually snagging the most important crown at the culmination of the 2024 Mutya ng Pilipinas coronation night held at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City on Friday, Sept. 6. And she had two precedents from major national pageants that conducted their respective final competitions in July, whose top winners also both received the Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown awards. 

  

Myrna Esguerra had a convincing win as Bb. Pilipinas International at the 60th edition of the national pageant on July 7 because she also topped both the swimsuit and gown segments during the competition. This feat was accomplished in the past by her Binibini sisters Gabrielle Basiano in 2022 and 2018 Miss Universe Catriona Gray. Krishnah Gravidez also dominated the Miss World Philippines finals on July 19, by taking home the top title and the awards for both swimsuit and gown. She also took home a slew of special citations just like Redondo and Esguerra. 

  

Redondo, who represented the Filipino community in California in the recently-concluded Mutya ng Pilipinas pageant, was also proclaimed as Miss Jimang Trim and Miss Luxe Skin.
