The most beautiful woman in the Philippines has been crowned anew\u2014she is Mary Jean Lastimosa, the 26-year-old, Davao-based entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

Already a crowd-favorite at the start of the Coronation night on Sunday, March 30, Lastimosa bested 39 other candidates to earn the right to represent the country in the next Miss Universe pageant.<\/p>\n

After the impressive finish of the country in various international beauty pageants last year, expectations are high for the newly-crowned North Cotabato beauty.<\/p>\n

But based from her performance in the Coronation night, she seemed prepared for the challenge. Apart from exemplifying class and elegance on stage, she also showed how spontaneous she can be in answering questions.<\/p>\n

Reigning Miss Universe Gabriela Isler\u2019s question to her was: “What is the greatest advantage of being a woman?\u201d<\/p>\n

She answered with conviction: “The greatest advantage of being a woman is being able to compose ourselves. Just like here, we\u2019re standing in front of thousands of people not knowing if they’re gonna cheer for us. But we try to compose ourselves, we keep the emotions and show the beauty that is in us. And tonight, thousands of people are here, celebrating the beauty of a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lastimosa\u2019s fellow winners include Bianca Guidotti as Miss International, Parul Shah as Miss Tourism, Kris Tiffany Janson as Miss Intercontinental and Yvethe Santiago as Miss Supranational.<\/p>\n

The event was hosted by Anne Curtis and Xian Lim.<\/p>\n
