Pageantry
Miss Universe Philippines 2023
On February 18, 2023, Gravidez was introduced as one of the 40 delegates competing in the fourth edition of the pageant,[2][3] serving as the delegate of Baguio after having previously been selected as Miss Baguio 2022.[4] Her performance in the preliminary rounds was received positively online, with praise directed in her performance in the swimsuit round.[5] In the national costume round, Gravidez wore a Strawberry-inspired ensemble designed by Erjohn dela Serna. The costume was made from Cordilleran textiles and featured a kabayang basket.[6] Her costume reaped her the "Tingog ng Filipina" award for Luzon.[7]
In the pageant proper, she won the Best in Swimsuit award. Subsequently, she advanced to the Top 5, where she, and her co-finalists, were asked "For you, what is the best that we can offer to the rest of the world? Why do you consider it so?", alluding to the Department of Tourism's new branding campaign. She responded:[4]
"Having to struggle at a very early age, I have uncertainties. But I've received kindness a lot of times. So now, aside from it's free, I give kindness to everyone. Because this kindness can go a long way, can motivate someone, can give radiance to rainy days. Because this kindness also made me transform myself from a woman who have nothing to a woman who has the universe on her doorstep."
At the end of pageant, Gravidez finished as a Top 5 finalist to Michelle Dee, who won the pageant to become the Philippines's delegate to Miss Universe 2023. Following Gravidez's finish at the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 pageant, she was appointed as Miss Charm Philippines 2024 in a ceremony at the Okada Manila.[8][9] The city government of Baguio issued a resolution honoring Gravidez for her appointment to the title and was honored with a motorcade organized by the city's tourism office.[10] While Miss Charm Philippines 2024, Gravidez participated at the 12th Mindanao Fashion Summit held at Cagayan de Oro.[11]
