TAGUIG, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Taguig Bureau) – The Philippines’ leading women’s advocacy group, Gabriela, has announced that it will hold daily pickets at the headquarters of the Miss Universe Philippines Organization (MUPH) in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, starting today.

A spokesperson for Gabriela told The Adobo Chronicles that their members are sick and tired of MUPH choosing bisexual women as the country’s representative to the popular international beauty pageant.

In 2021, Beatrice Luigi Gomez of Cebu City, was the Philippines’ candidate to the Miss Universe Pageant. She finished in the top 5.

Forward to 2023, Michelle Dee of Makati City will represent the Philippines in the quest for the much-coveted crown.

Both women have publicly acknowledged that they are bisexual.

Gabriela said that it is about time 100% women represented the country in Miss Universe.

“We have many pure Filipina members who are worthy and deserving of the Philippine crown. We should be giving the world our authentic best,” it said.
