Bea Millan-Windorski wins Miss Universe Philippines, dispelling the "hakot curse"

entertainment.inquirer.net

Bea Millan-Windorski won Miss Universe Philippines 2026, breaking a fan-observed "hakot curse" where winners of many special awards did not win the crown. Windorski secured the title despite winning a record 14 special awards throughout the competition, including 11 at the Charity Gala Night. This contrasts with previous years where "Hakot Queens" often placed as runners-up. She will represent the Philippines at the 75th Miss Universe pageant in Puerto Rico in November, aiming to be the fifth Filipina to win the international crown.
