WATCH: Miss Universe PH 2024 delegates tell their inspiring stories, advocacies through 'Her Story' video series
Aside from the swimsuit photos and headshots, Miss Universe Philippines has released another way for pageant fans to get to know this year's crop of delegates.
The MUPH Organization has released a series of videos titled "Her Story," which features the stories of the inspiring contestants, where they have been, where they are now, and where they are headed.
"Let's hear the unique journey of each of our Queens. Because a woman's history is HER STORY," MUPH said.
The candidate's tourism videos will be uploaded next after the release of Her Story videos.
One of the most watched videos as of writing is from Quezon Province's representative, Ahtisa Manalo.
In her video, the 26-year-old beauty queen features how pageantry became her "vessel" in providing for her needs as well as her family, debunking the notion that she was born with a golden spoon.
Moreover, Alexie Brooks, Iloilo City's representative, meanwhile attributed her passion for women's empowerment in the video.
Aptly called her advocacy "Abanse Babaye," the athlete-turned-beauty queen said that her love for empowering women was rooted in her Lola Basing as she sold vegetables with her at a local market in Iloilo City. In this way, her lola became her biggest inspiration for advocating women's rights and opportunities.
Similarly, Stacey Gabriel, the pride of Cainta, continues her grandmother's legacy of compassion and service, attending to a prison ministry supporting 700 senior citizen inmates. Through this video, the former Binibining Pilipinas queen wants to inspire others to embrace vulnerability as a source of strength by sharing her journey of battling anxiety and OCD.
On the other hand, Victoria Velasquez Vincent, the representative of Bacoor City, showcased pageantry "as a powerful platform to advocate for safe homes in both physical and emotional realms" in her video. Driven by her and her mother's early setbacks, Victoria's vision is to "serve the people, conserve heritage, and uphold the Bayanihan spirit" by embodying her commitment to positive change.
Furthermore, Natasha Jane Bajuyo of Bukidnon flaunted her advocacy, Project BABAE, which aims "to promote respect for women and children, addressing domestic issues one community at a time."
Motivated by her foster father's guidance and her mother's tenacity, Natasha is committed to positively influencing families and envisioning a time where all women and children are accorded decency and respect.

Earlier this month, the candidates also released their introductory videos and respective photos, including their official headshot, swimsuit, and evening glam.
The MUPH organization has yet to announce the date for the fifth edition of the pageant.
Michelle Dee will crown her successor who will also represent the Philippines at the 73rd Miss Universe 2024 pageant to be held in Mexico on Sept. 28.
