The Miss Universe Philippines 2025 candidates are gearing up to grace this year’s charity gala and to return to the stage for the national costume showcase on Wednesday, April 30.
The event, which will be held at Okada Manila at 6 p.m., will be a night of “supporting important causes and celebrating Filipino artistry.” It will be spearheaded by digital technology leader and inclusivity advocate Bran F. Reluao as the chairperson for the Charity Gala.
“This event is driven by a deep commitment to giving back and making a meaningful impact on causes that truly matter,” the MUPH organization said via its Instagram page.
“We’ll cap off the night with a celebration of Filipino artistry and creativity with a showcase of our delegates’ intricate National Costumes, to be documented and released on the Empire.PH YouTube Channel on May 1,” it announced.

The event aims to raise funds for the benefit of Caritas Manila, with the MUPH organization encouraging benefactors to donate by purchasing “tables” to the event. “Gold” tables are valued at P100,000, while “Silver” tables are worth P50,000.
Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig will be among the attendees at the charity gala, along with her continental queens Miss Universe Africa and Oceania Chidimma Adetshina, Miss Universe Americas Tatiana Calmell, Miss Universe Europe and Middle East Matilda Wirtavouri, and Miss Universe Asia Chelsea Manalo.
The night will also be filled with glamour as the 66 candidates will show off their national costumes that reflect creativity and craftmanship.
Prior to this, the MUPH preliminary competition featured the delegates in their swimwears and evening gowns. Among those who stood out in the event was Winwyn Marquez who scored nine special awards from the pageant’s sponsors.
Reigning queen Manalo will crown her successor at the finals night on May 2 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
