MISS UNIVERSE PHILIPPINES LAGUNA 2025
Official Headshot Standouts
By: Laguna Pageantry
Following a strong finish of Alexandra Rosales and Eunice Deza, Laguna is now considered a powerhouse in Miss Universe Philippines. The MUPh-Laguna is set to commemorate its first staged-edition next year January 16 with two crowns and candidates are setting their sights on the two shiny crowns and titles: here’s Laguna Pageantry’s official headshot standouts:
1. Thea Marie Tatlonghari - First on the list is this beautiful lady from Santa Rosa City. Her charming eyes really shines on this portrait. Her glossy look and minimal, yet detailed makeup just made it light and soft to look at. We have seen this girl perform at last week’s sashing ceremony. Now, she’s still here at the top. Moving or non-moving, she can deliver.
2. Eloisa Jauod - Despite having the dimmest photo, her face card still brought her glamshot. She posed with enough intensity in the eyes and enough open of her mouth. Still, one of the girls to be beat even on portraits.
3. Ia Fiona Hombrebueno - Loving this look for this girl. The sweetness and innocence in her eyes really combined to produce an elegant portrait. Hope they can bring this out in her stage performances: soft, elegant, and glossy-looking.
Next on the list are:
4. Mikaela (Santa Rosa) - she is the only girl who is smiling, but still elegant looking in her portrait. Maybe, just a bit relax on her collar bone will make her photo even more captivating.
5. Valerie (Cabuyao City) - she’s a Sanya Lopez lookalike in this photo. We just felt that her neck was a little bit forced.
6. Polyanna (Magdalena) - she has a beautiful face, maybe a hint of smile in the eyes will make her photo more powerful.
7. Rendelle (Los Baños) - if you will look at this photo, she really has unique and strong face features that can stand out on the national stage. However, we just love to see her toned down to make her look younger and glowing.

Sashing Ceremony Standouts
By: Laguna Pageantry
With the Miss Universe Philippines - Laguna 2025 Sashing Ceremony over and done, here’s our list of what we think are impressive candidates:
Being in the actual scene watching them perform and speak live gave people a safe say on how they are different from pictures to live performances.
1. Eloisa Jauod — Arguably the best during the press presentation and the force to be reckoned. Her beauty, pasarela, and overall styling is undeniably the on point among the candidates. We can see that she has reserved looks in the pocket for the upcoming events. She and her team know what’s the event; they know what to release every time they will be having exposure. We just love to see her more comfortable and spontaneous while speaking.
2. Thea Marie Tatlonghari — she was very memorable because she was so beautiful. In a dim setup, she registers very well during that night. She has this commanding presence and sex appeal, but needs improvement in terms of how she talks in the stage.
3. Loudes Jestre — She might be underrated as of the moment but other girls need to pay attention to this towery glamazon. We love how she seems so relaxed during the presentation. She was the girl that not got eaten by big long hair extensions. If they she and her team will be consistent in improving her and will choose the best fitted styling, she will definitely cement a spot in the top 5, not to mention even one of the crowns.
4. Polyanna Martina Manalo — we think being one of the most experienced girls is her advantage. She knows herself well in the stage. She knows what she is doing. We just missed her giggly personality as she was always ‘smizing’ rather than ‘smiling’ during that night. And hopefully improves in terms of discovering new looks.
5. Francielle Nazareno — rooting for this lady to wake from her slumber. This girl can give us face galore. She also seemed to ha
