After staging its first successful run in 2024, Miss Universe Philippines-Quezon City (MUPH-QC) is back in search for its representative to the upcoming Miss Universe Philippines 2025, succeeding Cam Lagmay.
Last January 9, MUPH-QC dropped its much-awaited video teaser featuring 10 official candidates — carefully selected from different parts of the city, each with their own inspiring story to tell.
Among them is seasoned pageant queen Patricia Logdat. The 5’5” Brgy. South Triangle stunner juggles college life and freelance modeling. She is also a proud cancer survivor who hopes to raise awareness through her project “Bandana.”
A flight attendant by profession, Jamaica Sicat of Brgy. Baesa recently earned her student pilot license. With a passion for aviation and aerospace, her goal is to set an example for other women who wish to succeed in traditionally male-dominated fields of work.
Not to be outdone is 56-year-old Catherine Muguerza. The eldest of the finalists, this Brgy. Sangandaan resident had always dreamt of becoming a beauty queen. She enters the competition keen on empowering senior women to follow their dreams and live life to the fullest.
Inspired by its “City of Stars” moniker, MUPH-QC defied long-held beauty standards and set out to transform contestants into stars that serve as a light to the universe. From personal branding to financial freedom, all MUPH-QC contestants underwent extensive skills training to showcase both their pageant-ready looks as well as the positive influence they make in their community.
Behind the glamor, MUPH-QC remains committed to educating Filipinos on relevant issues, create innovative pageant experiences, and elevate entertainment on the big stage. Together with its diverse set of candidates, MUPH-QC expanded its advocacy by partnering with the Voice For Change organization. As such, part of the proceeds from this competition will be donated to send children in need to school.
The MUPH-QC grand coronation is scheduled this February 2 at 7 p.m. at the SM Skydome, North Edsa. The 22nd Manhunt International winner Kevin Dasom, MUPH-QC 2020 Michele Gumabao, and first-ever Miss Universe Asia Chelsea Manalo will also grace the glitzy event.
