No offense. I really liked her performance but I'm not that confident that she can get the crown if ever siya ang nanalo unlike Miss La Union. She got the height and face na pwedeng pwede ipanglaban. More practice lang talaga and I think she'll have the chance to take home the crown :))
I can't with this org. hahaha.
I have high hopes kay Marina Summers pero she was so boring. Wala akong naramdaman na excitement hanging sa announcement ng winner.
La Union won because? She has been so underwhelming the entire night. her answer is so mid; gown mid; ss low.
I would even choose Pampanga over her. Cebu City should have won.
This edition is so boring. And I feel like gusto lang talaga panalunin ng org si La Union.
As someone na nag te technicals sa mga events, ang problema is the sound and lights team, walang impact yung music, walang special effects pag tinatawag yung kandidata, wala bland and plane yung lights and sound system. I think its time for MUPH to really invest in production team na trully may impact and experience sa ganitong mga events
I personally prefer homegrown queens over foreign born ones, them being a halfie is not important but them growing up in the Philippines does. Because they are Filipinos regardless of parentage but BMW is not, I'm not sorry for saying that.
It is colonialism when we prefer something overseas when we already have perfect ones on our home. Preference of eurocentric beauty over diverse ones is bad as beauty would become monolithic and the only defining factor that this beauty comes from this country is the shade in their skin but everyone would look the same.
But regardless of the politics at MUPh or BMW's passport could make her travel to Puerto Rico easily as BMW is American and Puerto Rico is an US Territory. The MUPh org crowned her over better Homegrown Filipino Beauty Queens so that's the end of it. But if she win or lose or if I watch MU I would certainly not support this bandwagon that's being normalized.
hating BMW for winning would defeat the purpose of empowerment for these women as it's the main and sole purpose of beauty pageants we Filipinos like.
Question. I mean, since Manay Venus, we only had two delegates who is known to be a non-Filipino speaker -- Celeste and Windorski. Being the MUPH means more than representing the country in the MU Stage, it represents the citizens, the nation, -- not in a politician way, but an ambassador in the global community.
Although malaking bagay talaga ang kakayahan na makapagsalita ng Ingles, sana, kaya rin makipag-usap sakali mang may programa ang foundation ng MUPH na pagbisita sa mga pangkaraniwang tao sa bansa natin. Or local programs where obviously, Pilipino ang nanonood.
Anyway, treat this as a Final Question kunwari sa MUPH hahahaha. Why, or why not?
Congrats to the winner 🤍 Best wishes 💋

Kita na agad kung sino ang nanlalamon at nalalamon.
*APPRECIATION POST kasi
She didn’t win but i think she won for many of us.
I don’t think someone has been this strong in a while. Performance wise, not even recent winners imo have aced every single segment the way she did. Or maybe someone did, i could be wrong. Maybe I just don’t remember.
That’s all.
Share your thoughts and appreciation for her. Minimize insulting or mentioning a specific candidate if we can.
Kay Cebu City lang ako natuwa. Yun lang. Cebu Province could've said something more, tapos yung kay La Union naman narinig na natin yung same script sa closed door interview niya. Your thoughts?
I just watched a video interview of Bea where they were suddenly interrupted by a speaker mentioning the provinces of the other girls in the top 7, excluding Cebu Province and Taguig. It’s understandable for Nicole since she came from MI and might be placed in Cosmo, while Bella, I know the MU crown is what she really wants.
What are your overall thoughts about Ahtisa's reign as Miss Universe Philippines 2025?
Bahala na kung sino manalo sa kanilang 3. I agree sa explanation ni Tita Lavinia dito. Saka mas prefer ko tong non-committal picks kesa sa pa-hot picks ng ibang page.
I feel like kapuna puna talaga yung production. We can't settle for mediocre excuse na kahit naman magaganda yugn production ng iba, tayo naman nakakapanalo ng crown. Like damn.
Ewan ko they get good money pero can't they get better directors, producers, lighting, music. I mean that pageants was not world class at all.
I even read na one of the directors did ASAP and Deal or No Deal. Kaya pala.
I want your thoughts on this kasi parati na lang napapalampas ito. UGHH so frustrating. at nakakahiya anduon pa sila papa nawat jusko. Laki laki ng fees tapos daming mga major sponsor pero di pa maayos basics like AUDIO, LIGHTING.
The stage design was tacky compared to our neighboring sister countries. Basic sounds and lights were malfunctioning if not glaring. MUSIC was so tacky like halatang AI. For the whole year di ba nila kayang mag hire ng orchestra to make better MUPH sounds. Jusko ang Thailand every single detail take to account. EVERY DETAIL ng production.
Sorry pero yung bashing na nakuha ng BBP during MJLastimosa's Flower gown, should be the same energy that production should be getting kasi di sila natututo. At least, now grabe tayo sa design ng mga damit. Please sana they heed criticism. Siguro naman kita nila ang production ng IMG, MGI at MUT. MUPH Team please we want better.
Just to add: CINEMATOGRAPHY OMAYGHAD AWKWARD NG MGA CAMERA ANGLES HUHU
It's like they love the glitz and the glam pero they seem to fail at it.
Yung Bouquet lang yung nabet ko btw and the crown of course. Super stunning yung bouquet this year.
For me, the real winner here is Taguig. She was stunning and flawless. Her evening gown was not expected but she embodied it. She has the winning glow. We were at the arena and the screams for Bella were so loud, the crowd was non-stop on screaming during her evening gown. There was no dead air at all. Mahal sya ng tao and even when she went out of the venue people were waiting for her, cheering for her. And her qna was calm, composed and heartfelt. It was real and raw from her experiences. Walang eme eme.
We can't deny that Taguig and Cebu City aced their swimsuit and evening gown rounds! Their qna answers were the better ones. Unlike someone who answered the same statements thrice already, during her casual interview, cdi and finals, it was all the same. I think I just need to point that out.
When the winner was announced, there was silence from everyone. Maybe a short period of time with shouts but there was silence all throughout. The queens were hugging Bella and Apriel. 🥹
He leaned into controversy so much.
This is such a weird "interview" if I can even call it that.
Abunda interrogated/GRILLED Bea better than he can ever grill politicians.
He threw me off when he was trying to catch Bea regarding the ties of politicians with the flood control projects. Bea is working within the system. It's like when people are challenging capitalism. You cannot just detach yourself to the system when the system is capital driven. That doesn't mean we can't challenge or question power.
The Miss Universe competition like many beauty pageants started with problematic history but eventually it became a platform. As Bea would say, "a cultural institution."
I'm just so happy and thrilled that Bea was so smart and so eloquent. She was able to handle that without intense training.
I can say it was also great that Bea was exposed to the like of Boy. But damn, Boy was not being "contructive". He was being controversial. He had an agenda. He wanted to catch Bea especially with the political questions. I don't feel scared for Bea because I know Bea is smart. But damn, he didn't even gave her a breather.
Nahahalata ko where Boy's sides with talaga noh. He seems to be more siding with those being questioned (corrupt politicians).
Parang di man lang nahighlight kung sino si Bea. Di man lang niya nacongratulate si Bea.
This interview was so off. I never liked Boy honestly. Super raunchy ng interveiw na ito.
Lalo na yung last question regarding if Bea found some random dude cute like WHAT???
nakakahiya lol
Alam nya deep down na hindi nya deserve manalo dahil mas May magaling at acceptable na sagot.
Para san pa ang scorecard kung ganda lang ang pagbabasehan ng lahat.
