Alyssa Muhlach Alvarez was one of the contestants who donned the catwalk wearing an amazing gown at the Miss World Philippines 2018 coronation night last Sunday, October 7. The event was held at SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Her blue gown is memorable of Pia Wurtzbach’s famous blue gown. However, Alyssa’s gown came with a surprise detail, which was revealed when she turned around.
At the upper back area of the gown, the Philippine map can be seen.
She told more about this on her Instagram post with caption:
Alyssa Muhlach Alvarez, Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2018. ❤️ (Part 1 of 3)

Maraming, maraming salamat po sa lahat ng inyong suporta! ❤️ Before I joined a beauty pageant, thoughts like “I’m not thin enough”, “I’m not pretty enough” and “I’m not good enough” were the excuses that filled my head. But I was reminded that every accomplishment starts with a decision to try. ? To those who may not know, it was last February 2018 when I started to first observe in the Kagandahang Flores camp. I always watched beauty pageants but I never knew about the training that the contestants needed to go through. I was able to train alongside contestants from 4 different beauty pageants and I learned that women who come from different backgrounds can gather in order to pursue their dreams and achieve their hopes and goals for society. ❤️ One day, I finally made up my mind and told myself that I was going to join Miss World Philippines 2018. ? In preparation for that, I regularly trained with Tito Rodgil, Mommy G and Kuya Enan in my camp (Kagandahang Flores), exercised with Sir @angelosmendez in @goldsgymphilippines , maintained a strict diet and many more. When I was chosen as one of the official candidates for MWP 2018, I was so overjoyed and thankful. ❤️ On that day, I met my most hardworking admins, Ate Cypress, Ate Beth and Art. I remember how I was in tears on my way home because I was so humbled and grateful. That day, the Lord reminded me that these people who have never met me yet believe in me, so why couldn’t I believe in myself as well?
Words cannot fully express how grateful I am to each one of you who has supported me all the way and helped me gain confidence in myself. To my glam team, @jrcons, @brentopinion , @sherwinamodiaand @styledbypatrickhenry , thank you so much for always making me look beautiful. I am so, so grateful to my amazing designer as well (Benj Leguiab IV, @benjleguiab_iv ). We both collaborated on this beautiful gown that I wore last night. I told him that I wanted my gown to show my love for the Philippines and he was able to come up with this beautiful gown that did just that. ❤️ [Photo: @niceprintphoto]
She looked so stunning in that blue gown and that detail is really cool!
Alyssa won Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2018.
