Miss Universe PH delegates visit advocacy partner's project site
The Miss Universe Philippines pageant truly is in full swing, as it now brings some of its competing delegates to one of the project sites of its advocacy partners.
In one of the more recent posts on its Instagram account, the Miss Universe Philippines organization uploaded multiple photos of some of the 2025 Miss Universe Philippines delegates at the Bulacan site of Project Pearls G.R.O.W. (Giving Resources and Opportunities to Women) project.
In the caption to the post, the Miss Universe Philippines organization described Project Pearls as a “key advocacy partner” and that its collaboration with the organization teaches the Miss Universe Philippines delegates to “champion inclusivity, women empowerment, and hope.”
Project Pearls was started in 2008 by mother and daughter Melissa and Francesca Villa to benefit the former residents of Ulingan, Tondo. Since then, it has not only helped to relocate the beneficiaries to Bulacan, it has also expanded its programs to include projects like G.R.O.W., establish a community learning program, and conduct medical and dental missions.
The Instagram post comes after the Miss Universe Philippines organization announced the 10 delegates that topped their personality showcase, garnering the highest number of votes from March 1 to March 15.
The 10 delegates, in no particular order, are Miss Universe PhilippinesBenguet Maiko Ibarde, Miss Universe Philippines Camiguin Larsine Grace Jansen, Miss Universe Philippines Cebu City Grabiella Mai Carballo, Miss Universe Philippines Davao Angeleyh Caballero Pasco, Miss Universe Philippines Iligan Juliana Fresado, Miss Universe Philippines Iloilo Province Angeline Cordero Kailani, Miss Universe Philippines Isabela Jarina Sandhu, Miss Universe Philippines Malay, Aklan Taylor Marie De Luna, Miss Universe Philippines Tacloban Angela Norwillen Cabel, and Miss Universe Philippines Tandag City Danelle Ann Catalan.

The five delegates were Miss Universe Philippines Benguet Maiko Ibarde, Miss Universe Philippines Ifugao Valerie Claire West, Miss Universe Philippines Muntinlupa Teresita Ssen Winwyn Marquez, Miss Universe Philippines Pasay Amanda Russo, and Miss Universe Philippines Quezon Province Ahtisa Manalo.
