The Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) organization has released the latest updates for the much-anticipated 2025 coronation night, which is scheduled on May 2 at 6 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Singer-actor James Reid leads the entertainment for the night, being the one confirmed for the first performance of the evening. Meanwhile, Tim Yap and Erika Kristensen-Lee will be the backstage hosts.
The MUPH organization earlier announced that Gabbi Garcia and Xian Lim will be the main stage hosts.
The preliminary competition will happen at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay on April 28, just before the coronation.
Still in the running are 67 candidates after the withdrawal of Chella Falconer from Cebu Province and Hannah Michelle Gilmore from Los Angeles.
The 2025 Miss Universe Philippines titleholder will be crowned by Chelsea Manalo, the reigning Miss Universe Philippines 2024 and current Miss Universe Asia. The winner will then represent the Philippines at the Miss Universe 2025 pageant on November 21 at the Impact Muang Thong Thani Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
