Chelsea’s definition of beauty is more than what meets the eye. She explains that beauty is about “who we are inside and how we present ourselves in every situation.”

Sa kinang ng perlas at halimuyak ng sampaguita, nahahayag ang kagandahan ng isang Pilipina—pinagpipitagan, kinagigiliwan, at lubos na hinahangaan. Ang bawat paggalaw at pagpapakita ng kanyang katangian ay tila isang sayaw ng dignidad at karangalan, na nagbibigay inspirasyon sa lahat ng nakakakita....

As delicate as the sampaguita and as pure as a pearl, Chelsea Manalo is truly “isang perlas ng ating lahi,” breaking boundaries as the first Filipina Black American to win the Miss Universe Philippines crown.

And her definition of beauty goes beyond appearances; for her, it’s about advocating for positive change and a more inclusive society. As she puts it, “If their stories aren’t heard, I will be the one to speak for them,” because she’s not only creating opportunities for others but also empowering them.

Keeping the momentum high for three years is no easy feat, but for the Filipino boy group BGYO, nothing seems out of reach. With every performance, they continue to raise the bar higher, proving that their passion and dedication are as strong as ever. As Gelo, Akira, JL, Mikki, and Nate boldly proclaim, “We aim to achieve even greater heights than before.”

Music speaks louder than words, but it’s in those in between the notes where P-pop group Yes My Love truly finds their voice. Their artistry transforms quiet moments into powerful, heartfelt expressions where emotions come alive.
