BACOLOD CITY – Miss Universe Bacolod 2025 Louise Lian Enumerable Bobe vowed to showcase Bacolod’s vibrant culture and empowered women at the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 pageant.
Bobe made the statement during her speech at the Bacolod City Sangguniang Panlungsod last Tuesday.
A proud wife, mother, and Negrense, Bobe received a warm reception from the council. Councilors Em Ang, Simplicia Distrito, and Celia Flor commended her advocacy and hailed her as a role model for Bacoleñas and women everywhere.
She also garnered pledges of support from Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran and Congressman Greg Gasataya.
Bobe is set to meet Mayor Alfredo “Albee” Benitez next week for a courtesy call to discuss how Bacolod can rally behind her campaign.
She highlighted the importance of her participation in this year’s Miss Universe Philippines pageant, which celebrates the strength, grace, and resilience of women, including mothers and married women like herself.
“Motherhood isn’t a limitation—it’s a superpower! Ang pagka-iloy indi kabudlayan kundi isa ka kusog!” she declared, encouraging women to embrace their roles while pursuing their dreams.
Her journey is supported by the newly established Miss Universe Philippines franchise for Negros Occidental and Bacolod City, led by local director Kashmere Granada.
Granada expressed full confidence in Bobe’s ability to represent Bacolod.
“Lian embodies the true spirit of a Bacoleña—strong, graceful, and compassionate. She is more than ready to show the world what Bacolod has to offer,” Granada said.
In her speech, Bobe reiterated her dedication to promoting Bacolod’s culture and values.
“This journey is not just mine—it’s for Bacolod. It’s for every woman who dreams of breaking barriers and every Negrense who wants to see our city shine,” she said.
The City Council responded with enthusiasm, recognizing her potential to bring honor to Bacolod.
With rigorous training and growing support, Bobe is determined to bring home Bacolod’s first Miss Universe Philippines crown and make the City of Smiles shine brighter than ever.
