Savannah Relox Delos Santos is the newest Miss Marianas.

Delos Santos was crowned the 2021 Miss Marianas at the Stellar Marianas-organized pageant last Saturday, March 13, at the Hyatt Regency Saipan Ballroom.

2019 Miss Marianas Shannon Tudela Sasamoto, who was also the first to reign for two consecutive years due to the postponement of the pageant last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, handed over her tiara to Delos Santos, who went head-to-head against seven other women for the crown.

Delos Santos is a 23-year-old graduate from Chaminade University with a B.A. in Business Administration-Marketing and is currently working on her master’s degree in Accounting.

As Miss Marianas, Delos Santos is excited to take on the many upcoming programs and has many ideas that she is ready to implement throughout the year. She noted that one of the most challenging parts during her road to Miss Marianas was not believing in herself, especially at the beginning of the journey.

“I love you all so much, thank you so much to everyone who believed in me. I hope I will make you proud, and I know I will,” Delos Santos said.

She won $3,000 for her Miss Marianas win, a one-year free use of a 2021 Hyundai Venue from Triple J Motors, and a slew of other sponsored prizes.

Delos Santos was also awarded the “Miss Friendship Award,” “Best in National Costume,” and “Best in Evening Gown.”

Coming in as first runner-up was Bernadette Horey. Horey also received the “Miss Marianas Photogenic Award.”

Completing the Top 3 as 2nd runner up was Ha’Ane San Nicolas Eugenio.

Toremy Ayuyu Diaz received the People’s Choice Award.

Vincent Rabasto was awarded the “Stellar Star” and the “Tresemme Best in Hair Award.”

Richelle Tsunami Ramone received the award for “Best in Swimsuit.”

The remaining 2021 Miss Marianas contestants who competed for the title were Lily Carillo and Naomi Lizama.
