Miss Universe Philippines Lucban 2024 Rikki Dela Pena 

Miss Universe Philippines Lucban 2024 Rikki Dela Pena has been chosen as one of the top six finalists during the Miss Hello Glow Runway Show. 

Rikki is a former Miss Philippine Youth 2019 grand winner and reigning Miss Philippines Face of Tourism.

"I'm not just here to win a title but to represent the vibrant community of Lucban and promote its rich tourism. As the first Miss Universe Philippines Lucban, I'm excited to showcase the beauty of my hometown, which is home to many tourist destinations in Quezon province," shared the young beauty queen.

Rikki said her ultimate dream is to become a beauty queen and be part of Miss Universe Philippines. 

"The title and experience will always be there, but what matters to me is how I can impact and make change in society through my stories and advocacies specifically for youth empowerment, most specifically promoting my tagline 'Probinsyanang Ganda.'

"I believe most youth now forget the value and essence of being a pure Filipina. I want to bring this to the table: to emphasize the strong points and qualities of being a Filipina by color and heart.

"As a pure Filipina and morena, I want to promote self-love and how good and amazing it is to be a modern Filipina. I want to give honor and pride to my hometown, Lucban, my country, the Philippines, and all the morena beauties out there," she said.

Fifty-five candidates are competing for the 2024 Miss Universe Philippines title. Reigning Miss Universe Philippines Michelle Marquez Dee will crown her successor at Mall of Asia Arena in Bay City, Pasay, on May 22, 2024.

The winner will represent the Philippines at the 2024 Miss Universe Competition in Mexico on Sept. 28.
