"So honored to be [making] herstory again. From being the first drag queen to perform on the Miss Universe stage, to becoming the first trans woman to host the pageant."
"Since I was a child, I've always felt feminine - even deep into the parts that I didn't always know how to name. But last year, I finally gave myself permission to stop pausing. And start my transition."
"There's still so much to learn. I don't have everything figured out. But I do know I want to be more honest with you and myself."
Marina Summers, a prominent figure from Drag Race, will host the Miss Universe Philippines competition, marking a historic moment as the first trans person in this role. She previously made history as the first drag queen to perform on the Miss Universe stage. In February, she publicly came out as transgender, expressing her lifelong feelings of femininity and her decision to transition. Summers will be joined by Miss Universe Philippines 2025 Ahtisa Manalo and the pop group BGYO during the event.
