MAYNILA -- Hindi napigilan ng aktres na si Kim Chiu ang maiyak sa "It's Showtime" nitong Biyernes dahil umano sa pressure sa nalalapit na "Magpasikat."

Naunang nagkuwento si Vice Ganda nang nangyari sa praktis ng kanyang grupo kung saan kasama niya sina Jackie Gonzaga at Ryan Bang.

Kuwento naman ni Vhong Navarro, dalaw nang dalaw si Vice sa rehearsal ng ibang grupo.

Matapos nito ay ibinahagi ni Vice ang naging pagbisita niya sa rehearsal ng grupo nina Chiu, Amy Perez at Karylle.

"Yung anak ko (si Kim) dinalaw ko kahapon. Malungkot eh, ewan ko kung bakit" pagbubunyag ni Vice.

"Hindi kami malungkot, kaya namin 'to," hirit naman ni Perez.

"Pumunta ako nagre-rehearse sina Vhong (Navarro) at Ogie (Alcasid), masaya naman sila," dagdag ni Vice.

"Mukha ba kaming masaya?" mabilis na hirit naman ni Alcasid.

"Pumunta ako kay Kim Chiu, malungkot," hirit muli ni Ganda.

Nang matanong si Chiu ng iba pang kasamahang host sa programa kung bakit siya malungkot, sagot ni Chiu na tila nagsimula nang maging emosyonal: "Ayaw ko, maiiyak ako."

"Sabi niya sa akin 'Mama, bigyan mo naman ako ng good vibes today," hirit pa ni Vice habang tuluyan nang umiyak si Chiu.

"Sabi ko anak, ang ganda mo today. Ang ganda-ganda ng suot mo denim, denim, denim. Ang pangalan mo ngayon ay Leila. Leila Denim-a ang pangalan. Eh 'di tumawa siya," dagdag na biro ni Vice.

"Huwag kayo, abangan niyo 'yan si Kim Chiu sa 'Magpasikat.' Abangan niyo 'yan, naku napakagaling niyan," hirit naman ni Perez.

"Tama na!" ito naman ang naging mabilis na pagpigil ni Chiu kay Vice na mayroon pa sanang gustong ihirit.

"Alam niyo si Kim Chiu, hindi ba second time. Ganyan kami nung mga unang taon namin pinapasok kami ng pressure. Mga after five years deadma ka na diyan," paliwanag ni Vice.

Hirit naman ni Alcasid, pareho silang nararamdaman ni Chiu.

"Alam niyo 'yung pressure na 'yan ay dahil gusto nating lahat na mag-enjoy ang madlang people bukas," paliwanag muli ni Ganda.

"Sandali, sandali. Masaya naman kami natapos kagabi ah, bakit pinapaiyak mo ako," ani Chiu kay Vice.

"Nang natapos, pero noong binisita kita, hindi ka masaya," pambubuking muli ni Vice.

"Basta ano nararamdaman kong taga-'Showtime' talaga ako," ani Chiu.

"Naramdaman mo na eh 'di masaya ka na ngayon," sagot ni Ganda kay Chiu.

Nitong Nobyembre 13 ay nagsimula nang umarangkada ang halos isang buwang selebrasyon ng ika-12 anibersaryo ng noontime show na “It’s Showtime!” kung ipinakilala ang mga magkakagrupo sa “Magpasikat.”

A total of 69 candidates were presented at the Miss Universe Philippines Press Presentation at the Shangri-La Hotel in Makati.

Announced as the new national director is Ariella Arida, Miss Universe 2023 3rd runner up.

“It’s a big responsibility on my part,” Arida said with excitement.

Her tip for all the women competing: “Everyone is unique,” she said. “At the end of the day you’re competing within yourself and don’t forget to have fun. I think that’s one of the reasons why I enjoyed my journey during my time.”

Actress Julia Barretto made a special appearance as a brand ambassador to talk about authenticity and self-love, promoting “a celebration of beauty that goes beyond the surface.” 

Candidates introduced themselves representing their regions /cities.

Early favorites included pageant veterans such as Quezon Province’s Ahtisa Manalo.

“Actually I took the vacancy of the representative for Quezon Province as a sign.”

“Then they announced that it’s in Thailand, sabi ko ‘ay parang gusto yata ako ng mga taga-Thailand’ then after, someone tagged me in a photo [of me] in a salon sa Thailand,” Manalo explained.  “I was thinking wala rin naman ako masyadong gagawin— no big projects coming up so why not give it another shot.”

“Let’s enjoy this journey,” she added, explaining that she’ll have a “more chill” outlook to avoid overthinking during the pageant.

Also making a comeback into the pageantry scene this year is mom and pageant veteran Winwyn Marquez representing Muntinlupa.

In her last pageant, she won the Reina HispanoAmericana 2017.

When asked about how she’s preparing after an 8-year pageant hiatus, Marquez answered with “discipline.” 

“I am still the Winwyn who’s competitive. I’m excited to be on stage,” she added.

Kat Llegado, who was 2nd runner up in the 2022 Miss Universe Philippines, also returned for her shot at the crown representing Taguig.

“Ever since 2022 I would always say to myself that I would finish my unfinished business,” Llegado said.

“And this time I feel like I’ve been always improving,” she added while explaining her dedication to practicing her Q&A even more.

Representing Cebu is Chella Falconer, part of the Filipino Society of Melbourne, who is happy to be back in the pageant scene.

For Chella, her heart is her biggest advantage with her bright personality “coming out naturally.”

Fresh faces also stood out among the candidates like Benguet’s Maiko Ibarde who is proud to be Igorot.

As an active hiker, Ibarde has her mind set on viewing her MUPH journey as another “steep mountain” she must overcome.

There was also Eloisa Jauod of Laguna and Shaina Ong Rabacal of Camarines Sur.

“It has really been my dream to be Miss Universe Philippines and to hopefully be able to represent the Philippines on the international stage,” said 25-year old Shaina.

Just like Shaina, Eloisa says that joining the pageant really is her “childhood dream.”

“This is also my mom’s dream for me even though she’s not here anymore, I’m still continuing our dreams together.”

There were also a handful of Filipino-foreigners who are competing, including representatives of Pasay, Las Piñas, San Jose Batangas, and Ifugao.  

The venue was filled with the Filipino pageant community, media, MUPH team, and queens such as Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner up Shamcey Supsup, Miss Universe Asia 2024 Chelsea Manalo and Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Celeste Cortesi.

Miss Universe Philippines Executive Vice President Voltaire Tayag emphasized that to train queens like Manalo and Cortesi, it “doesn’t just take a village— it takes a nation.”

“Miss Universe Philippines is more than just a sisterhood. It’s a family,” Tayag said.

The activities for Miss Universe Philippines will now officially begin, with Manalo’s successor set to be crowned in May 2025.

The winner will represent the Philippines at the Miss Universe pageant in November 2025 in Thailand.
