If the stars align, Philippine bet Tarah Valencia could become the second Filipina to bring home the Miss Supranational crown. The stunning 23-year-old, 5-foot-9 native of Baguio aims to claim the title since 2013’s winner, Mutya Datul, the first Filipina to win.
“Your well-wishes and support are what fuel me. I’m now ready to shout, ‘Philippines!’” Valencia said during her sendoff. The cum laude graduate in tourism management from the University of Baguio and third runner-up in Miss Universe Philippines 2023, advocates for sustainable tourism, focusing on balancing tourism growth with the preservation of natural resources—a cause close to her heart, having been born and raised in the summer capital of Baguio.
Meanwhile, Mister Supranational Philippines 2025 Kenneth Cabungcal, a 25-year-old civil engineering graduate from Dumaguete City, is aiming to surpass compatriot Brandon Espiritu’s 2nd runner-up finish in 2024 and claim the Mister Supranational title.
Let’s support Valencia’s introduction video on YouTube as she vies for the Miss Supranational Influencer Opportunity Challenge after making the Top 20 (Qualifier 1, Facebook Winner—Asia and Oceania). She aims to succeed Miss Supranational 2024 Harashta Haifa Zahra of Indonesia.
Miss Supranational 2025 will be held from 9 to 28 June 2025 in Małopolska, Poland, with more than 70 delegates from around the world.
