Miss Universe Philippines 2025 was the sixth edition of the Miss Universe Philippines pageant, held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, on May 2, 2025. It was the first pageant held under the national directorship of Ariella Arida.

Outgoing titleholder Chelsea Manalo of Bulacan crowned Ahtisa Manalo of Quezon at the end of the event. She will represent the Philippines at the Miss Universe 2025 pageant, to be held on November 21, 2025, in Thailand.

The contest was broadcast on the YouTube channel of Empire Philippines and was presented by Xian Lim, Gabbi Garcia, Erika Kristensen-Lee, and Tim Yap. James Reid and Marlo Mortel performed in the event.

Background

[edit]

On February 15, 2025, Ariella Arida, Miss Universe Philippines 2013, was designated as the national director of the pageant after the incumbent director, Shamcey Supsup-Lee, launched a bid for councilor in the 2025 Pasig local elections.[1][2] The pageant announced that Arida's role as national director will emphasize the training and development of its competitors.[3]

Selection of participants

[edit]

Contestants from sixty-nine localities were selected to compete for the title through the pageant's Accredited Partners. The competitors were confirmed and introduced during a press presentation at the Makati Shangri-La, Manila, on February 15, 2025.[4]

Debuts and returns

[edit]

This edition marked the debut of Basey, Butuan, Dipolog, Guipos, Iligan, Kalibo, Los Baños, Negros Occidental, Samar,[5] Sultan Kudarat,[6] Tandag, and Tarlac.[7] Additionally, this edition featured the returns of Camarines Sur, Muntinlupa, and Oriental Mindoro, which all last competed in 2020; Angeles City and Romblon which both last competed in 2021;[8] and Isabela, Lapu-Lapu City, Parañaque, and San Fernando, Cebu, which last competed in 2023.[9]

For the first time in the pageant's run, representatives of Filipino communities from Australia, Eastern Canada, England, Florida, Great Britain, Hawaii, Melbourne, New Jersey, New York, Northern California, Pennsylvania, San Francisco, Sydney, Southern California, Virginia, Washington, and Western Canada, are required to represent a locality in the Philippines. As a result, candidates from these communities will each represent two localities.[10]

Withdrawals and replacements

[edit]

Before the press presentation on February 15, two local titleholders relinquished their titles: Krizza Yco of Pampanga, to prioritize her studies;[11] and Faith Genobaten of Dipolog, for personal reasons.[12] They were succeeded by Rhancoise Mayangitan and Jazzle Iba, respectively.[13]

Out of the 69 contestants subsequently confirmed, nine announced their withdrawal before the coronation night: Chella Falconer of Cebu, Maica Martinez of Cabanatuan, KC Joy Defiesta of Zamboanga City, Princess Ryla Fernandez of Alberta, Canada, Kriezl Jane Torres of Bukidnon, Hanna Michelle Gilmore of Los Angeles,[14] Stefanie Przewodnik of Mandaue, Jamaica Long of Palawan, and Ybonne Ortega of Sindangan.[15]

Princess Nanda Ibrahim was initially set to represent Dapitan, but she resigned from her local title and was instead appointed as the candidate for Guipos, Zamboanga del Sur.[citation needed] Irish Raine Sescon was originally going to represent Pagadian, but she also resigned her local title and was appointed as the candidate for Ozamiz instead.[citation needed]

Location and date

[edit]

On March 13, the organization scheduled the finals for May 2.[16] The pageant will be held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay for the fourth consecutive year.[17]

The preliminary competition was held at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at the Newport World Resorts (pictured in 2012).

The results of the preliminary competition, held on April 28, 2025, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay, determined the first 19 semifinalists. The event evaluated the 66 delegates in the swimsuit and evening gown segments, along with closed-door interviews. [23] Five additional delegates advanced through fan vote challenges—three through Pina Beauty, one via BingoPlus, and one via the Miss Universe Philippines app—bringing the total number of semifinalists to 24, an increase of four from the previous edition.[24]

During the coronation night, the semifinalists competed in the swimsuit competition, after which the field was narrowed to 12. Afterward, the twelve competed in the evening gown round, from which five finalists were selected, along with one more delegate selected through the Pina Beauty Fan Vote, creating a total of six finalists.[25] The finalists then competed in the question-and-answer portion, where Miss Universe Philippines 2025 was ultimately crowned.[26]
