Beatriz Abalajon Mclelland concluded her journey in the Reina Hispanoamericana 2026 pageant after not making it to the Top 8 during the finals in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, on Sunday (Philippine time).
The young beauty queen reached the Top 13 but fell short of securing a back-to-back victory for the Philippines, following Dia Maté's historic win in February 2025, which gave the country its second Reina Hispanoamericana crown.
During the competition, Beatriz wowed the audience with her national costume designed by Renel Suarez, paying tribute to the Philippines' first beauty queen, Pura Villanueva-Kalaw.
