Fresh from being crowned as the newest queens of Miss Philippines Earth 2026, newly crowned queens Prima Joy Alamban (Miss Philippines Air 2026), Rina Andrea Delos Santos (Miss Philippines Earth 2026), Alyssa Mildred Villarina (Miss Philippines Water 2026), and Patricia Anne Nichole Monta Bangug (Miss Philippines Fire 2026), are looking forward to new opportunities, including possible acting projects.  

During their courtesy visit to the Manila Bulletin head office in Intramuros last Wednesday, the four shared with us the celebrities they hope to work with someday.

Prima revealed she would love to act alongside Empoy Marquez.

"Kasi all of his movies are interesting, the plots are so nice, and actually people don't really recognize that he is a good actor. I wanna learn from him, especially with everything going around him," she said.

Meanwhile, Rina said her dream co-star is Judy Ann Santos.

"Siya po talaga yung favorite actress ko, kasi she is very real when she acts, nakikita mo yung real expression niya on her face. I want to showcase that other side of me, kasi I had acting workshops, kasi dream ko talaga yun maging artista, feeling ko magaling ako umiyak," Rina said.

For Alyssa, however, her dream collaboration goes beyond local shores.

The Miss Philippines Water 2026 titleholder named Angelina Jolie as the actress she admires the most.

"Sa akin feeling ko mahirap siya maging reality, but I really love Angelina Jolie. She is a very versatile actress, all of her movies, I must say, lahat sila nagiging hit and sobrang galing niya. She is really one of my idols, and maybe, given a chance, I would want to learn from her. Aside from acting, she is also a philanthropist," Alyssa shared.

As for Patricia, she hopes to work with the Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda.

"Kasi ang ganda ng mga films na ginagawa niya and aside from that kahit laging funny yung movies niya at the same time may nakukuha kang moral lesson. I like that. I'm all for the good vibes, and if mangyayari man yun, it's gonna be my first movie," Anne said.

The queens visited the Manila Bulletin office to meet the editorial team and discuss the environmental advocacy championed by the Miss Philippines Earth organization.
