Over 100 delegates to compete in Mrs. Universe '25 in Manila

Manila Bulletin

September 28, 2025

The Philippines is once again in the global spotlight as it hosts the prestigious 48th Mrs. Universe beauty pageant in October.

This year’s staging of Mrs. Universe is made possible through the leadership of Charo Laude Calalo, a former beauty queen, successful entrepreneur, singer, and civic leader. Notably, this is her second time producing the international competition in the Philippines, solidifying her role as a strong supporter of women's empowerment and global pageantry. She also ran as the 2nd nominee candidate of the UGB Partylist during the 2025 midterm elections, further reflecting her commitment to public service and advocacy.

Charo has announced that 127 candidates are expected to compete in the Mrs. Universe 2025 pageant, which will be held at Okada Manila in Paranaque City on Oct. 8.

"There are 127 candidates expected to join the competition. Last 2023, I also hosted the international pageant. There were 100 delegates. However, this year we are expecting no more than 130 candidates," said Charo during a media conference at Simon's Place in Quezon City recently.

Charo added, "It's not a joke (to stage an international event). There's a lot of effort, so we're reviewing the logistics and security of the candidates. There's pressure, but it's also challenging. I am honored to be trusted to host the pageant. I am happy that the organizers are at home in the Philippines."
