The Mrs. Philippine Organization saw the potential for Angelica Yulo, mother of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, to become their next beauty queen.
During a press conference held last weekend, Erika Joy Santos, the president of Mrs. Philippines, said that they wanted to invite Angelica to their next pageant, which would be held next year.
The said competition offers a P150,000 grand prize to the winner.

According to Angelica, her participation in their pageant might help her overcome her problems amid the feud with her son.
“I wish to speak to Angelica. Maybe I can, you know, be somehow a relief to her. Kahit coffee lang. She’s very much welcome to join Mrs. Philippines 2025. Why not?” said Erika.
Erika also admitted that she understood Angelica’s current situation.
“I think na naging gymnast yung mga anak niya because naghirap din siya for it. She surely sacrificed a lot of things para ma-suportahan lahat ng anak niya. And I believe in the goodness and kindness of motherhood,” she said.
“So my advice to Miss Angelica Yulo is to love yourself. Stop crying. Always smile,” she added.
Aside from Angelica, Erika also welcomed all mothers and wives to join the event.
She said that even ordinary people could join the pageant as they wanted to push for women’s empowerment.
“Being married is not limited to having a child or being married alone. It also includes those who are widowed or who are single moms who [still] remain mothers to their children no matter what the journey is. The pageant serves as a platform to extend these women’s advocacies,” the organization’s statement read.
As of this writing, Angelica has yet to respond to the invitation.
