Glad to see 3 Fil-Am girls in Miss USA 2021. So far Kataluna is leading the pack for the Filipinas (I think she will either go to top 5 or not place). Iowa and Washington are cute too.
For 2022 I wish all 3 Filipina State Runners-up try again. Though it might be an uphill battle because they are competing in competitive states
Fun fact: In recent years, 2 half Filipinas have placed as runner up in Miss USA; Miss North Dakota USA 2014 (Audra Mari) and Miss Idaho USA 2020 (Kim Layne)
The first Non-Caucasian winner of Miss USA is of Filipina descent.

Also the first runner up of Deshauna Barbers.
Hi !
Maureen Montagne only Made it to the top 15 in Miss USA 2015 (won by Olivia Culpo) She placed 1st Runner-up in Miss World America an entirely different pageant.
As for Deshauna's runner up (Chelsea Hardin) she is not half Filipino but she is of Filipino descent. . She is of Native Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Irish, English, French, and Scandinavian descent.
