MANILA, Philippines — Mutya ng Pilipinas (MnP) queens add two more wins to its crown haul for 2026, with podium finishes at Miss Global Universe and Top Model of the World.

"We would like to share our triumphs and victories. We would also like to celebrate new franchises from Guam, Samar, Rizal, and Calabarzon. Our family is growing," MnP president Cory Quirino shared during a homecoming party held in Makati.

"Beauty queens are unstoppable. They won't stop 'til you say 'Yes' to their journey to compete abroad," she also said, adding that the 2026 national finals will be held earlier in October.

MnP Visayas 2025 Eunice Dimaculangan Deza was proclaimed the second runner-up in the Top Model of the World 2026 in Hurghada, Egypt — the first time the Philippines made the Top 3 after over three decades.

“I was appointed by the organization to represent the Philippines in Egypt. I was all alone there so I had to do my hair, makeup, and styling daily," confessed the San Pablo City maiden. "But I followed Ms. Cory's advice to carry myself well."

On the other hand, MnP Luzon 2025 Lyndzy Maranan won the third edition of the Miss Global Universe pageant in Malaysia, a first crown for the Philippines.

"As the first Filipina to win this title, it is an honor and privilege to wear the crown but it carries with it some responsibilities too!" enthused the winner from Mabini, Batangas. "This is also a legacy; as this forms part of Philippine pageant history."

Maranan noted that Miss Global Universe is a pageant about women empowerment, recalling how she prayed during the final question-and-answer segment for a question to guarantee a win, and she came through.

MnP Tourism International 2025 Andrea Endicio will, instead, compete in the Miss Polo Universe in Dubai. Her title was in limbo when ALV Pageant Circle acquired the franchise to the said title but was elated when Quirino told her she'd be competing in the Middle East.

Now celebrating its 58th year, the Mutya ng Pilipinas Organization is preparing for its grand 60th anniversary in 2028.
