Eh. Nothing can beat the Mikimoto for being an ICON. Next to the Rhinestone crown, it was the longest used crown, and undoubtedly, the most beautiful.
I think Mikimoto refused to repair the crown after it fell apart in Cat's homecoming here in the Philippines. MUO's agreement with MIkimoto prolly already ended last 2011 already, as the agreement between them is only a decade. It's just that with the DNL and the DIC fiascoes, MUO has no fallback crown but the Mikimoto, which was just staying in the company's vault. When Pia wore it in her final photoshoot, its still lopsided on the top, but they were able to restore it to its best shape until it gave up on Cat on her homecoming parade.
I just hope they stick this company LIKE, FOREVER. And it better be a good design. ENOUGH OF FRUIT BOWLS OR FRENCH FRIES PLEASE!
Fun facts, Cat's reign has always been associated to new crowns.
1. She was the last Miss World Philippines to wear the red generic crown of Miss World Philippines.
2. She was the first Miss World Philippines to pass on a new crown to Laura Lehman, which was also changed.
3. She was the first MUP to wear the better and current looking MUP crown.
4. She'll be the last winner (we'll see) to wear the iconic Mikimoto crown during the finale night that she won.
5. She will wear and pass the first Mouawad crown.

Truth bombs, truth bombs everywhere!
