MU Philippines 2025: Thanh Thuy's sister competes with the runner-up who competed in Miss Cosmo

Recently, the beauty website Missosology unexpectedly reported that beauty Bea Santiago will participate in Miss Universe Philippines 2025 to seek the opportunity to enter the "mother pageant" Miss Universe.

Many viewers support Bea Rose Santiago giving up her title to continue competing in beauty pageants at the ag.e of 35. However, many people think she is too old and not strong enough to compete with young beauties.

"I support her, but she looks too old", "This year's Miss Universe Philippines is like an All Star season and I don't see her chance of winning"... are comments from the audience.

In the clip posted by Missosology, Bea Rose Santiago wears a red off-shoulder dress, showin.g of.f her catwalk skills in front of the camera. She is praised for her charm and attractiveness at the ag.e of 35.

Bea Rose Santiago was born in 1990 in Manila, Philippines. She was a model and actress before winning the Miss International 2013 pageant. She graduated from York University in Canada. After winning the crown, Bea Rose Santiago mainly lived in Canada and Japan.

In 2018, ABS reported that Bea Rose Santiago had to undergo a kidney transplant after being diagnosed with chronic kidney failure a few months ago. On her Instagram account, the beauty said that she had been living on a dialysis machine at a dialysis center in Toronto (Canada) for a long time.

"I am healthy and exercise regularly. My family has no history of this disease, but the causes of the disease are common in Southeast Asian countries. I hope my story can be a wake-up call for you. Live a healthy life, don't think too much, don't eat strange foods and have regular health check-ups," she said.

After a period of special care, Bea Rose Santiago's health gradually stabilized. Many people believe that Bea Rose Santiago's return to compete in Miss Universe Philippines 2025 has inspired many women.

Bea Santiago's journey to the Miss Universe pageant is not considered easy. According to Missosology, many other famous beauties are also participating in the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 race. The beauty queen will have to compete directly with Ahtisa Manalo - 1st runner-up of Miss International 2018.

The competition between two beauties, both from the Miss International pageant, has made the atmosphere of the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 pageant "hotter" than ever. Many people have expressed their excitement and anticipation for Bea Santiago's performance.

In this "game", Ahtisa Manalo has a clear advantage because she has had certain experiences in the Miss Universe Philippines race. The beauty participated in the 2024 contest and stopped at the 2nd runner-up position.

Ahtisa Manalo was once sent to compete in Miss Cosmo 2024 organized by Vietnam. The beauty "slipped" in her achievements and only stopped at the top 10 finalists. This result made Filipino fans indignant and they continuously flooded the Miss Cosmo contest's fanpage to leave negative comments.

Notably, after the contest ended, Ahtisa Manalo also deleted the title from her profile on her personal page. This action upset Vietnamese beauty fans, making her the "hate.d runner-up".

The wave of Miss - Runner-up at BIG 6 (6 biggest beauty pageants on the planet) seeking opportunities to go to Miss Universe has emerged in the past 1-2 years. For example, the beauty Anntonia Porsild. She gave up the title of Miss Supranational 2019 and re-entered Miss Universe 2023. Anntonia Porsild excellently won the title of 1st Runner-up.

However, this luck did not repeat itself for many other beauties. Miss Supranational 2015 and Miss Earth 2016 also registered to participate in the domestic Miss Universe contest but failed, missing out on the ticket to compete internationally.

The question is, what is so special about Miss Universe that makes many beauties willing to give up their glory?

Miss Universe is currently the oldest and most fierce beauty pageant in the world. Unlike other rival pageants, Miss Universe only gives all the glory to the winner. The runner-up of this pageant has little screen time at the moment of coronation and is not allowed to participate in media meetings with the Miss afterwards. In addition, countless privileges make the Miss Universe title more important and become the dream of many girls.
