In addition, BingoPlus held an exclusive interview right after the major win, where Manalo expressed her sincere joy and gratitude. Her life-long dream was finally realized after she won the title, but it took years of perseverance to achieve it, she said. She conveyed her gratitude to BingoPlus for the significant support they received during their journey.

“This dream took 17 years in the making. Sometimes, it’s not about the length of it, it’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you stand up. Thank you so much for the support. I really felt the love and support in the arena. And I hope you continue to support me as I represent the Philippines in Thailand this coming November.” Manalo expressed.

On the other hand, Pacheco from Bulacan emphasized her happiness and excitement to be named Miss BingoPlus Universe 2025. She shared how she is looking forward to working with the brand and aligning her advocacy interests.

“To my BingoPlus family, and to my family and my friends, who helped me to get a spot in the Top 25, I'm very grateful for all of you. Because I couldn't have reached this place without all of you. Thank you so much and let's continue to support BingoPlus.” Pacheco said.

Thus, Manalo is set to represent the Philippines on the global stage in Thailand in November. BingoPlus, along with millions of Filipinos, will be supporting you, our Miss Universe Philippines 2025!
