Natural Bodybuilding PH 2025 Proves It’s Still the Gold Standard of Clean Competition

This past Saturday, the stage was set once again for one of the most anticipated events in the local natural bodybuilding scene—Natural Bodybuilding Philippines, held on May 24, 2025. Organized by Natural Bodybuilding Australia Universe and presented by Mike Lee Productions, the show carried its usual reputation: polished, professional, and packed with elite-level natural physiques.

Though PrepLife wasn’t on-site this time, the feedback from athletes and spectators left no doubt—this show delivered. From smooth backstage coordination to the quality of athletes brought in, it’s clear Natural Bodybuilding Australia continues to set the gold standard. Competitors expressed nothing but respect for how the event was handled, noting how appreciated and supported they felt—a reflection of the production team's commitment to excellence.

What also stood out, yet again, was the inclusive and respectful tone of the event. Unlike some federations or hosts that publicly bash enhanced athletes in an attempt to elevate themselves, this show remains focused on what matters: integrity, effort, and giving natural athletes a world-class platform to showcase their hard work. Natural Bodybuilding Australia Universe continues to prove that when it comes to drug-free competition in the Philippines, no one does it better.

And without much ado, here is the Winner's List...
