By Earl D.C. Bracamonte 

The ALV Pageant Circle held its 2025 Miss Grand International Philippines preliminaries at the Grand Ballroom of Okada Manila. At the close of the prelims, six delegates were named as Top 6 finalists in the Creative Cultural Costume Competition.

They, in random order, are:

- Angelica Joy Flores (Pangasinan)

- Nikki Buenafe Cheveh (Quezon City)

- Michelle Arceo (Taguig).

- Emma Mary Tiglao (Pampanga)

- Anita Rose Gomez (Zambales), and

- Alyssa Geronimo (Nueva Ecija)

The Creative Cultural Costume presentation was a Pinoy pop culture explosion of festive colors. It had several iterations of the karaoke machine, as well as movie and comic book heroines like Darna, ZsaZsa Zaturnnah and Super Inday, a Jolina notebook ensemble, a sorbetera (ice cream peddler), unto the festive parol of San Fernando.

One of these six finalists will be proclaimed the Best Creative Cultural Costume during the Miss Grand Philippines 2025 coronation night on August 24 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

Aside from the Miss Grand International Philippines crown, three other titles are up for grabs. These are the Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas, Face of Beauty Philippines, and the Miss Asia Pacific Philippines crowns; with the latter a new acquisition of ALV Pageant Circle.
