Before passing the crown to the new Miss Universe Philippines, the queens from 2020 have reunited in the most jaw-dropping way. Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo came together with her fellow top five finalists Bella Ysmael, Michelle Gumabao, Pauline Amelinckx, and Billie Hakenson for a fiery swimsuit shoot!
Photographer Seven Barretto captured them in sultry neon one-pieces and bikinis, with vibrant jeepney signs by Botin Studios as their background to match.


Each of the ladies had their time in the spotlight, too, and it's obvious that they all brought their A-game. Look at how they delivered!





The girls' neon 'fits were styled by Mikee Andree and Rick Sotelo. For more color, the beauty queens paired the suits with gorgeous glow-in-the-dark eyeshadows and graphic liner looks!

Fellow beauty queens such as Kylie Verzosa, Hannah Arnold, Maureen Wroblewitz, and Samantha Bernardo showed lots of love in the comments for this explosive shoot. Even Miss Universe Indonesia 2020 Ayu Maulida expressed her admiration!

This shoot also brings us back to Preview's May 2013 cover that featured Miss Universe Philippines queens Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, and Janine Tugonon. They posed in skin-baring metallic bodysuits and dresses from Burberry Prosum, looking stunning and bronzed like our reigning MUP top five!
