In the world of beauty pageants, there is always excitement when a new contestant is announced. And this time, it's Joanne Thornley who has been appointed as the official representative of Angeles City at Miss Universe Philippines 2024. The announcement was made on February 7th, 2024, through the official social media platform of Miss Universe Philippines – Angeles City.
At just 22 years old, Joanne possesses both beauty and grace. Standing tall at 5 feet 9 inches, she is sure to catch the attention of the judges and audience alike. Born and raised in Balibago, Angeles City, Joanne has deep roots in the Filipino-Canadian community. Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in fashion design from De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in Malate, Manila, she is not only a talented individual but also someone who is passionate about creativity and self-expression.
Joanne's love for traveling has given her the opportunity to explore different parts of the world. Having visited countries such as Indonesia, USA, Canada, and Thailand, she has been exposed to a myriad of cultures and experiences. This exposure has undoubtedly broadened her horizons and allowed her to embrace diversity, which will surely be an asset to her journey in the beauty pageant world.
While this might be Joanne's first venture into the national pageant scene, she is certainly not new to the world of beauty pageants. In 2022, she competed and won the crown at Mutya Ning Angeles, a local pageant. Then, in 2023, Joanne participated in another local pageant, Mutya Ning Kapampangan, where she secured the position of the runner-up. Though her experience might not be extensive, it is clear that Joanne has the drive and determination to succeed.
The regional organization expressed their excitement about Joanne's appointment by saying, 'We are thrilled to announce that the Miss Universe Philippines Angeles City is none other than Joanne Marie Estorco Thornley. Her journey to the crown officially starts today.' With the whole region behind her, Joanne is certain to receive the support she needs to excel in the upcoming competition.
Miss Universe Philippines 2024, the fifth edition of the pageant, is scheduled to take place later this year. The reigning Miss Universe Philippines 2023, Michelle Dee from Makati, will crown her successor at the event's grand finale. As Joanne steps onto the stage, she will undoubtedly bring her unique qualities and dedication, making her a strong contender for the prestigious title.
We will be eagerly following Joanne's journey as she prepares for the beauty pageant and represents Angeles City at the national level. Her story is an inspiration to young women everywhere, showing that dreams can be turned into reality with passion, hard work, and never giving up on oneself. We wish her the best of luck as she embarks on this exciting adventure and eagerly await the crowning of the next Miss Universe Philippines.
