This was not the first time that the beauty queen made the Metropolitan Theater a backdrop for her fashion. She was featured in a promotional video that showcased the refurbished theater when it was reopened early last year. Gray said the pageant’s revival ushers the city government’s commitment to stake its claim as the organizer of the most highly-anticipated local competition in the country, that traces its roots from the Manila Carnival Queen contest, touted as the first legitimate beauty pageant in the Philippines. Pura Villanueva-Kalaw, the first queen, was a journalist and activist who fought for Filipino women’s right to suffrage.

Gabrielle Lantzer from the Malate district, an 18-year-old incoming biochemistry freshman student at the De La Salle University-Manila, edged out national pageant veterans for the title, and the P1 million cash prize. She was also adjudged as Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown, and received the Miss Villa Medica Manila award.
