Reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig will be back in the Philippines, and she will be joined by four more international beauty queens.
Denmark’s first Miss Universe winner will return to the country after her brief visit in March, and she will be accompanied by her four “continental queens,” including the Philippines’ very own Chelsea Manalo who was proclaimed as the first-ever Miss Universe Asia.
Also visiting the Philippines is Manalo’s close pageant “sister” Tatiana Calmell from Peru, Miss Universe America. Joining them are Miss Universe Europe and Middle East Matilda Wirtarvouri from Finland, and Miss Universe Africa and Oceania Chidimma Adetshina from Nigeria.
The five ladies are currently reunited in Thailand, where they will stay until they fly to the Philippines later this month.
“A night of beauty, advocacy, and cultural pride. [stars emoji] Join us at the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 Charity Gala & National Costume Showcase on April 30, 2025, at the Okada Manila Grand Ballroom, for the benefit of Caritas Manila. [blue heart emoji]” the national pageant posted on social media on Tuesday, April 1.
MUPH EVP Voltaire Tayag had earlier confirmed with INQUIRER.net that Theilvig will return to the Philippines after her visit from March 25 to 30.
To raise funds for their partner charity organization, the Miss Universe Philippines pageant is encouraging benefactors to donate by purchasing “tables” to the event.
“Gold” tables are valued at P100,000, while “Silver” tables are worth P50,000. The difference between thd two tables, as well as the number of people allowed per table, were not disclosed.
Manalo will relinquish her national title to her successor at the culmination of the 2025 Miss Universe Philippines coronation show at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on May 2. Theilvig and the rest of the continental queens will still be in the country by then.
