GABBI Garcia and Xian Lim will return to the pageant stage to host the anticipated Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) competition.
The MUPH organizers announced that the two celebrities will host the 2025 edition’s coronation night, which will be held on May 2 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena (MOA) in Pasay City.
This is not the first time Garcia and Lim hosted the prestigious national pageant.
In 2024, the 26-year-old actress hosted the pageant’s coronation night for the first time, earning praises from netizens for her hosting skills. The 35-year-old actor, on the other hand, was among the hosts of the MUPH 2023 coronation night.
Joining Garcia and Lim in this year’s coronation night are Tim Yap and Erika Kristensen-Lee, who will serve as backstage hosts.
Meanwhile, actor and singer James Reid will hype the crowd as he performs on the pageant stage.
The MUPH organization previously introduced 69 candidates competing for the coveted MUPH crown, which included several pageant veterans like Yllana Marie Aduana, Chelsea Fernandez, Katrina Llegado, Ahtisa Manalo, and Winwyn Marquez.
But two beauty queens, Cebu Province’s Chella Falconer and Los Angeles’ Hannah Michelle Gilmore, withdrew from the competition.
The delegate who emerges victorious in the pageant will succeed Miss Universe – Asia Chelsea Manalo and represent the Philippines in the 74th Miss Universe pageant, scheduled for November 21 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Meanwhile, the preliminary round of the MUPH 2025 pageant will be held on April 28, 8 p.m., at Newport World Resorts in Pasay.
This will coincide with the finals night of the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2025, which will be held in the same venue at 6 p.m.
“Witness back-to-back moments of beauty, brilliance, and pure pageant magic you won’t want to miss!” the MUPH organizers said.
Ticket prices for the MUPH preliminary competition range from P1,000 (Silver), to P1,500 (Gold), P2,000 (VIP), and P2,500 (SVIP).
According to the organizers, ticketholders may arrive early to the venue to watch the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2025 finals night.
