Hindi nagpatinag sa pressure ang Miss Universe Philippines-Kananga Organization.
Nagpadala sila ng bagong kandidata matapos umurong ang una nilang representative na si Natasha Ellema Jung.
Sa Instagram ngayong Huwebes, February 29, 2024, ipinakilala ng organisasyon ang bagong kinatawan ng Kananga — si Phoebe Arrianna Veloso Torita, ang Miss Kananga 2023 first runner-up.

Ilang araw raw itong pinag-usapan at pinag-isipan ng kanilang organisasyon at napagdesisyunan nilang hindi sumuko sa laban.
Kahit kapos na sa oras, nais nilang panindigan ang kanilang isinusulong na pagpapakilala sa kanilang lugar.
Sabi sa pahayag, “Amidst the beauty and glamour, sending a representative to Miss Universe Philippines is no easy feat. It requires immense efforts, hard work, and sacrifices from both the representative and the Organization.
“From countless hours of preparation to heartfelt sacrifices made, ensuring that our representative embodies the true essence of beauty, grace, and Kanangahanon values.
“Over the past few days, we have reflected on our core values and beliefs of who we are as an organization and what we stand for. Despite the time constraints, we have chosen to reaffirm our commitments, returning to our primary purpose: to send a representative to Miss Universe Philippines 2024 to showcase and promote Kananga and to fulfill someone’s dream.”
Puwede naman daw sana silang huwag nang magpagod at maghintay na lamang ng susunod na taon para sumali, pero mas maganda raw na magsumikap pa rin para sa pageant sa taong ito.
Dagdag nila, “We could have chosen an easier route-to stop, but we have decided to move forward with love and perseverance.
“Therefore, it is with immense pride, honor, and excitement that we announce Ms. Phoebe Arrianna Veloso Torita as the new Miss Universe Philippines - Kananga 2024.
“Ms. Torita, a full-blooded Kanangahon, embodies the qualities of a true Kanangahanon and a modern Filipina whose beauty will shine wherever she goes - inspirational, empowered, and “confident!
“We need all your support and prayers for Ms. Torita and the Miss Universe Philippines Kananga Organization as we move forward with the competition with unwavering hope and faith.
"Kananga is back to the UNIVERSE!”
