This year is very significant to the Miss República Dominicana pageant as it is already on its 60th year. Under the management of Megaly Febles, the pageant has produced a Miss Universe – in 2003 – when Amelia Vega was proclaimed as the best in the world. Meanwhile, Ada Aimee de la Cruz in 2009 almost won the crown when she finished as first runner-up. Last year’s delegate, Clarissa Molina, was among the top 10.

Sal García, on top of her right to represent the Dominican Republic at Miss Universe 2016 pageant, also won a total of 250, 000 pesos of prizes including wardrobe and swimsuit sponsorships.
