The stereotypical idea of a beauty queen is that they should just look good and smile and wave. But as we’ve seen time and time again, beauty queens are much more than looks. A true queen is a role model who shines and promotes all aspects of life, such as where they come from. That was the case for the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 delegates as they created their own tourism videos for their respective town, city, province, and country as they showcased the beauty of the Philippines and beyond through their eyes.
Miss Universe Philippines let the queens promote their hometowns and provinces not just to the rest of the country, but to the universe. And while all the videos were wholehearted efforts to represent the best of where they came from, a few tourism videos stood out for all the right reasons. Scroll down for some of our favorite Miss Universe Philippines 2024 tourism videos that made us want to book a trip this summer.
BACOOR – VICTORIA VELASQUEZ VINCENT
At this point, Cavite should hire Victoria to be their tourism ambassador. Moving away from the typical tourism video, the effort finds her depicting what a day in the life of a bunso living in Bacoor is like. Through this POV, she gave a different side of the city as someone who lives there. It felt like a regular girl showing us around her hometown, and it worked.
BAGUIO – TARAH VALENCIA
From sunrise to sunset, with an evermore cloak included, Tarah gives us many reasons to enjoy Baguio.
