The Miss Universe Philippines crown was first introduced on October 21, 2020, as the first official crown of the inaugural edition of the pageant. The Filipina is the first Miss Universe Philippines crown made by the woman-led Villarica pawnshop, a ubiquitous facet to the Filipino economy. That is why it became the personal mission of the all-female staff of Villarica to create a crown that symbolizes the elements of a Filipina: perseverance, optimism, creativity, intelligence, and the love for one’s country.
As the first crown in Filipino pageant history, it has set a bar to crowns of the future. It’s been reported that The Filipina crown is worth a whopping P5 million ($100,000).
