Every year, the Miss Universe Philippines delegates pull out all the stops to celebrate their roots. One of which is crafting cinematic love letters: tourism videos that don’t just showcase where they grew up but reveal the beauty behind the name stitched on their sash. Think of them as declarations of affection—intimate postcards that invite you to peer through the keyhole of their worlds. Ahead, MEGA lists the five most inviting tourism films by the 2025 queens.

Baguio City: It’s More Than a Place; It’s an Experience
More than a simple tour, Baguio’s bet Gwendoline Soriano presents a piece that pulses with warmth, where the culture of Baguio isn’t just observed but embodied. It’s in the playful exchanges at the market, the rhythm of bikes circling Burnham Park, and the raw power of dance echoing through the mountains. Bonus: Gwendoline’s own voice serenades the soundtrack.
Benguet: As Lush, Wild, and Alive as It Gets
Benguet through Maiko Ibarde’s eyes feels less like a tour and more like a chase—you’re sprinting through flower fields, slipping past waterfalls, and tasting the earth itself. Every frame bursts into motion, stitched together with a modern, wink-at-the-audience kind of editing. It’s this sheer, infectious vitality that secures Ibarde’s video a place on the list.
Quezon Province: Where Joy is a Language Everyone Speaks
In this slice of Quezon Province, Ahtisa Manalo lets the people take the stage through song, dance, and the fun moments that crack open the heart. The video is candid and contagious, and it invites the viewer to crash a spontaneous fiesta or street party where there are no rules. Riding the same playful wave as her 2024 video, Manalo captured the heart and soul of Quezon Province.
Quirino: The Quiet Wonder That Speaks Volumes
It’s not your typical high-energy tour, but Bianca Ylanan’s video quietly pulls at the heartstrings in a way few others do. She guides us through jagged rocks and crystal-clear currents with a calm, soulful storytelling that feels less like a travel promo and more like an old friend sharing a well-kept secret. It’s this unhurried nature that secures Quirino’s spot on our must-watch list.
Muntinlupa City: The Urban Jungle That Never Sleeps
Winwyn Marquez throws us into Muntinlupa, where every jeepney honk is a beat in the city’s nonstop soundtrack, and markets buzz with energy enough to power a small planet. Unlike the leafy calm of other videos, Winwyn shows Muntinlupa as the playground for the perpetually busy. In this frenzy, ambition and community collide, making it a standout on our list.
It’s clear: every crown carries the weight of a hometown’s influence. To truly know the queens, one needs to understand the roots that made them.
