The Mutya ng Pilipinas 2025 queens add two more wins to its crown haul for 2026. “We would like to share our triumphs and victories. We would also like to celebrate new franchises from Guam, Samar, Rizal, and the Calabarzon region. Our family is growing,” Mutya ng Pilipinas (MnP) president Cory Quirino shared, during a homecoming party held at the CWC Design Center in Makati.

“We will also hold our 2026 national finals sarlier in October. Beauty queens are unstoppable. They won’t stop ‘til you say Yes to their journey to compete abroad,” she added.

Mutya ng Pilipinas Visayas 2025 Eunice Dimaculangan Deza was proclaimed 2nd runner-up in the Top Model of the World 2026 in Hurghada, Egypt. After 33 years, this is the first time for the Philippines to make it to the Top 3.

“I was appointed by the organization to represent the Philippines in Egypt. I was all alone there so I had to do my hair, makeup, and styling daily. But I followed Ms. Cory’s advice to carry myself well,” confessed the San Pablo City maiden.

On the other hand, Mutya ng Pilipinas Luzon 2025 Lyndzy Maranan won the 3rd edition of the Miss Global Universe pageant in Malaysia and got the first crown for the Philippines.

“As the first Filipina to win this title, it is an honor and privilege to wear the crown but it carries with it some responsibilities too!

This is also a legacy; as this forms part of Philippine pageant history,” enthused the winner from Mabini, Batangas.

“The Miss Global Universe is a pageant about women's empowerment. In the final question-and-answer segment, I prayed that God would give me a question that would make the Philippines win and He granted my prayers!” she continued.

Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism International 2025 Andrea Endicio will, instead, compete in the Miss Polo Universe in Dubai. Her title was in limbo when ALV Pageant Circle acquired the franchise to the said title. She was so elated when Ms. Cory Quirino told her she will be competing in the Middle East soon.
