Miss Universe 2025 to be held in Thailand
This was announced by the Miss Universe organizer in an Instagram post.
'THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR… Unveiling the ultimate destination for the 74th Miss Universe competition… Where kindness meets tradition and warm smiles welcome the world,' the caption read.
The international beauty pageant will take place on the morning of November 21 in Thailand (the evening of November 20 in US time) at IMPACT Arena, Muang Thong Thani.
The Miss Universe was held in Mexico last year, with Chelsea Manalo representing the Philippines.
Although Manalo failed to advance to the Top 12, she won the title Miss Universe Asia and was awarded Best National Costume for her 'Hiraya' ensemble, which paid tribute to the country's religious heritage.

Kris Aquino Shares Struggles with Pain Amid Rainy Days and Ongoing Health Battle
TV host and actress Kris Aquino opened up about her worsening physical condition, particularly the severe bone pain she experiences during rainy weather—one of the many symptoms tied to her over 10 autoimmune diseases. Through a Q&A session with followers on Instagram, Kris candidly shared that she's been feeling sad lately, especially with the upcoming 16th death anniversary of her mother, former President Cory Aquino. She expressed sorrow knowing her mother might be witnessing her suffer from both physical and emotional pain. Despite this, Kris remains proud of her son Joshua, who she describes as sweet and affectionate. She thanked close friends and family, including her sister Viel and former senator Nancy Binay's sister Anne, for helping take care of Josh while she's far away. She also noted that the fresh sea breeze has helped improve her breathing and stabilize her blood pressure—an important benefit given her low blood condition. However, Kris admitted that the rainy weather intensifies her pain. She even drew a sentimental comparison, recalling how her mother once said she was the 'female Ninoy,' and now sees her youngest son, Bimby, as the version Cory truly deserved. Responding to a fan's well-wishes, Kris said she experiences both good and bad days, but is thankful to have Bimby by her side during the worst ones. She also clarified that she has never had cancer, addressing rumors triggered by her PET scan earlier this year. The scan, she explained, was meant to monitor lung damage from her autoimmune condition and long COVID, not cancer.
