Caloocan City's Arianne Villareal issues statement after using real butterflies at Miss Grand Philippines prelims
Caloocan City bet Arianne Villareal has spoken up about her 'butterfly moment' during the evening gown segment of the Miss Grand Philippines 2025 preliminary round last Sunday. During her walk, the beauty queen incorporated live butterflies into her performance, releasing them in two batches as she posed on stage. Pageant fans expressed concern, especially after a few butterflies were later seen on the floor during the following candidates' walks. In a Facebook post uploaded on Tuesday, Arianne explained the inspiration behind her concept. 'Butterflies have always been a symbol of beauty, growth, and new beginnings. Growing up in the Philippines, I would often see butterflies released during weddings and special occasions, a gesture of hope, freedom, and transformation,' she said. Per Arianne, her intention was to bring 'that same symbolism of metamorphosis and positivity.' She claimed her gesture came from a place of creativity and meaning, never with the intention to cause harm. Arianne acknowledged that the moment may have been interpreted differently by some and expressed her respect for those views. 'Pageantry is about learning, evolving, and celebrating individuality. This experience reminded me that expression can come in many meaningful ways,' she said. Despite the mixed reception, the Caloocan City representative remained optimistic. 'At the end of the day, butterflies remind us that no matter how others see us, we can always grow, transform, and spread our wings with grace,' she said. 'All of us, your Grand Sisters, are giving our very best to put up a good fight and to make our cities, provinces, and communities proud. We are more than ready, full of excitement, and looking forward to seeing you all at the Finals.' The Miss Grand Philippines 2025 Finals is happening on August 24 at SM Mall of Asia Arena. The winner will be crowned by CJ Opiaza, who was crowned Miss Grand International 2024 after India's Rachel Gupta resigned from the post in May.
