Prior to joining Miss Universe Philippines, the former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate joined several pageants growing up. Before entering the said reality TV show in 2016, she was crowned as Miss Kaogma and Miss Masbate. She also held the Miss Teen Masbate title back in 2013.
Delavin’s post came two days after Miss Universe Philippines announced this year’s pageant delegates, who also include Maureen Wroblewitz, Binibining Pilipinas Tourism 2012 Katrina Dimaranan and Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2019 Leren Mae Bautista.
The actress and her fellow delegates will go through a series of challenges to determine who will advance in the next stage of the competition, according to Miss Universe Philippines.
Out of the 100 delegates, only the top 30 candidates will proceed to the live-interview segment before a panel of judges. Fans will be able to watch the live coronation on Sept. 25. /ra
