Well, what do you know. Much that we don't encourage our neighbors to get envious or jealous, or their fanatic and patriotic citizenry to sulk in one corner and self-pity ... 2025 is the Philippines' year in pageantry.
We don't actually invoke or implore for more awards, but it is written in the stars ... This early, the Philippines had a good chance of getting the Country of the Year Award by virtue of the wins the country has earned in major Alpha ... top-tier International pageants.
We won this title 2 0r 3 times in the past ... that is why we are being called a Powerhouse, and 2025 cemented it despite the doubting Thomases from our kapitbahays who dismissed it as just some kind of an urban legend and worst a delusional figment of our imagination. Here's the breakdown:
-Miss Universe - Third Runner Up
-Miss World - Top 8 and Continental Queen of Asia
-Miss International - Fourth Runner Up
-Miss Earth- Top 8
-Miss Supranational - Third Runner Up
-Miss Grand International- Winner
We did not ask for it, but fate was generous ... and she continue to shower and reward us with all these blessings.
The year is not over ... and we still have the chance to add more titleholders in the minor or lesser-known pageants. As of this count, we have more than 54 titles already tucked in our sleeves. We don't have to brag ... and we are not gloating ... but the year 2025 was just an avalanche.
The milestone is a testament to the determination and excellence of our Pinay Queens.
