The Road to Miss Teen Universe

Former THE VOICE KIDS Philippines contestant KYLIE ‘Koko’ Luy has embarked on a new journey and there’s no turning back.

Although this 19-year old girl is literally a newbie in the world of pageantry, Kylie is determined to prove that she deserves the appointment to represent the country in the most prestigious and biggest teen pageant in the world. Her crowning ceremony was held last February 15, 2022 at The Diamond Hotel Manila with the support of PAGCOR.

Towering at 5’10 (without heels), Kylie is a head-turner but what makes her even more attractive is the way she speaks – articulate and full of wisdom. Fun fact about her is that she could speak with a British accent (she grew up in London before returning to the Philippines when she was 11 to join The Voice Kids Philippines) and she could speak with an American accent (she graduated from International School Manila). She is also an incoming freshman student at the Esmod Fashion Institute in France this September where she will take up Fashion Design.

According to Kylie, she didn’t expect that joining a beauty pageant would be very challenging but she’s adjusting well especially with the physical training and other preparation. She admits that at first she was hesitant because she never imagined herself to be a beauty queen. She was more into music and arts. Aside from singing, Kylie could play the guitar, piano and violin. In fact, she is also launching her musical career as she just recorded her single “Hey Mr Perfect” which she composed herself. The song according to Kylie, was arranged by veteran Rannie Raymundo and recorded at the studio of Vehnee Saturno.

Miss Teen Universe will be held from March 3 to 7, 2022 in Dubai, UAE.

For someone so young, the future is definitely bright for Kylie!
