CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu City North’s bet, Kris Tiffany Janson, was crowned Miss Universe Philippines Cebu 2024, earning the honor of representing Cebu on the national stage.
The coronation took place Saturday night, February 3, at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.
Aside from bringing home the crown, Janson also won various special awards, including Best in Evening Gown.
Janson also proved that she was not just beautiful but also very witty.
During the question and answer portion, she was asked: “If you were to create a major headline in Cebu tomorrow that is socially relevant, what would it be and why?”
“If I were to create a headline, it would be ‘Cebu: Empowering Stronger Women’ because Cebu is known to be a very open city, and what I love about Cebu is that we are very welcoming and we empower our women. We build communities for stronger women, and that is the future universe that we can share with everyone,” was Janson’s winning answer.
Janson, 34, has been gracing beauty pageants for over 10 years now.
