James Reid tapped to perform at Miss Universe PH 2025
Here's another reason to tune in to Miss Universe Philippines 2025: James Reid is set to serenade the delegates and fans of the pageant's sixth edition.
On their social media pages, the organization announced that Reid will be one of the performers who will amp up the crowd at the upcoming coronation night.
"Ready to vibe with him, Universe?" the announcement read.
Reid's song Chase, which he co-wrote with Kiko “KIKX” Salazar and ALAS, was recently used by the MUPh to tease their delegates’ runway walks in a video. The song is part of the pageant's official soundtrack.
Meanwhile, the coronation night will be hosted by Xian Lim and Gabbi Garcia.
This is the second time that the Garcia will be hosting MUPH. She hosted the 2024 edition alongside Alden Richards, Tim Yap, Miss Universe 2022 R'Bonney Gabriel, and Jeannie Mai.
MUPH 2025 will be held on May 2, 6 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, where Miss Universe Philippines 2024 and the first-ever Miss Universe Asia Chelsea Manalo will crown her successor.
Meanwhile, the preliminary competition is set for Monday, April 28, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. Ticket prices range from P1000 (Silver) to P2500 (SVIP).
This year's local tilt sees a few pageant veterans gracing the stage again, including Miss Earth-Air 2023 Yllana Marie Aduana (Siniloan, Laguna), Reina Hispanoamericana 2017 Teresita Ssen "Winwyn" Marquez (Muntinlupa City), and Miss Universe Philippines 2024 second runner-up and Miss International 2018 first runner-up Ahtisa Manalo (Quezon Province).
Also in the mix are Miss Globe 2022 semi-finalist Chelsea Fernandez (Sultan Kudarat) and Reina Hispanoamericana 2019 fifth runner-up Katrina Llegado (Taguig City).
