Chelsea Manalo


Miss Universe Philippines Chelsea Manalo's home town is set to give her a warm welcome back.

The country continues to express its love for its current reigning Miss Universe Philippines as Chelsea Manalo is set to attend another homecoming.

In one of the more recent posts on the official Miss Universe Philippines Instagram account, the organization announced that Meycauayan native Chelsea will be headed back to the town on July 13 for “The Queen's Homecoming”. The event starts at 8 a.m. with a parade that will pass by the MacArthur Highway and will end at the Saluysoy City Hall, where a program will start at 9 a.m.

This is the second Bulacan homecoming that Chelsea has taken part in, as the provincial government of Bulacan had earlier arranged a homecoming for her as part of the province's efforts to drum up support for her as she represents the country in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant.

Aside from homecomings, Chelsea has also been the cover star of MEGA magazine, who described Chelsea as opening up “the horizon for a more inclusive definition of beauty upon winning the crown.”

Chelsea has also attended the Mega Ball 2025 where she wore a beautiful white Jot Losa gown, with the Miss Universe Philippines organization uploading snapshots of Chelsea and Miss Universe Philippines 2024 first runner-up Stacey Gabriel.

Chelsea has also been the Reyna ng mga Sampaguita at a Sampaloc, Manila Santacruzan parade and attended a Pride Month event organized by LoveYourselfPH, a volunteer community providing free HIV testing, counseling, treatment, and life coaching.

Chelsea was also a guest on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, an experience that she says was a checked item on her bucket list. Chelsea also made sure to stop by GMA morning show Unang Hirit during her first day out as Miss Universe Philippines, as well as met some members of the media at a small press conference.
