Louisian Beauty to represent Baguio City in Miss Universe Philippines 2020

An alumna of Saint Louis University is among the official candidates for the first-ever Miss Universe Philippines (MUPh) 2020.

Bea Theresa Maynigo, a graduate of SLU, will be Baguio City’s representative for the prestigious pageant that will identify who will represent the Philippines in the 2020 Miss Universe.

 

Despite being born and raised in Calasiao, Pangasinan, Maynigo chose to represent Baguio City because according to her, it is where everything has started.

Why Baguio?

It is the place where all of these started. It was the place where I discovered that I could actually do beauty pageants and become an influential Beauty Queen that I am now because it gave me that opportunity.
