Pageant veterans Angelica Lopez, Alexie Brooks, and Anne Diaz were crowned the first-ever Reina Filipinas queens.
Angelica Lopez of Palawan claimed the title of Reina Filipinas Grand International 2026 and will represent the Philippines at the Miss Grand International pageant in India in October.
During the final question-and-answer round, Angelica was asked, "There are undeniably so many pageants already. What space do you hope Reina Filipinas would occupy?"
She answered, "I understand that every pageant serves a purpose, and so do Reina Filipinas. Here, they have business, which gives the women the opportunity to learn new skills, and to be more empowered, and to elevate as a person, whether it be in sports, entertainment, and business. It's actually a good and empowering platform and a win-win situation for all, so that both can move ahead towards the direction of progress, development, and productivity."
Meanwhile, Alexie Brooks of Iloilo City and Anne Diaz of Manila emerged as Reina Filipinas Miss Grand International All Stars 2026. They will represent the country at the second edition of MGI All Stars in Thailand in December.
Completing the Reina Filipinas 2026 lineup of winners were Zambales' Cleopatra Barrera as first runner-up, Camarines Sur's Isabella Ortega as second runner-up, Mandaluyong's Zeah Nestle Pala as third runner-up, and Caloocan's Luisa Benavides as fourth runner-up.
The inaugural Reina Filipinas coronation night took place at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay City on Friday, August 7, with 21 candidates competing for the titles.
