Miss Universe Philippines 2024 was the fifth edition of the Miss Universe Philippines pageant, held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, on May 22, 2024. It was the first where competitors were chosen through local pageants organized by Miss Universe Philippines Accredited Partners.

Outgoing titleholder Michelle Dee of Makati crowned Chelsea Manalo of Bulacan as her successor. Manalo represented the Philippines at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant in Mexico, where she reached the top 30 and became the first Miss Universe Asia. [1] She is first Black woman to have been selected to represent the country in Miss Universe. [2] [3]

The contest was presented by Miss Universe 2022 R'Bonney Gabriel, Alden Richards, Jeannie Mai, Gabbi Garcia and Tim Yap. Lola Amour, Marina Summers, and Win Metawin performed in the event.

Background

Selection of participants

On April 11, 2023, the Miss Universe Philippines Organization announced the launch of a new accredited partners program that would select delegates from the 2024 edition onwards. [4] This allows accredited partners to organize local pageants that will send competitors to the national pageant. [5] [6] This replaced the previous system, where applicants underwent a screening process before being confirmed as a candidate for the title. [7] [8] [9] The national director Shamcey Supsup-Lee, explained that this intended to "even the playing field" by having local organizers providing resources to participants in the pageant. It was compared to that used in Miss USA. Supsup-Lee added that it will "provide women in the provinces with an equal opportunity", noting that previously contestants based in Metro Manila had a financial advantage. [10] [6]

As the Miss Universe Organization removed the age limit from Miss Universe 2024 onwards, allowing competitors aged 29 and above to compete, while keeping the minimum age to 18. [11] [12] [10] In light of the change, media outlets cited Jocelyn Cubales, who competed in Miss Universe Philippines – Quezon City at the age of 69, as the first senior citizen to compete in local pageants affiliated with the national pageant. [13] [14]

The edition marks the first time in which delegates representing Overseas Filipino Communities will be sent to the pageant. [15] Media outlets including The Philippine Star and the Manila Standard have also noted the presence of "pageant veterans" in the edition, [16] [17] citing the participation of Ahtisa Manalo of Quezon, who competed in Miss International 2018; Christi McGarry of Taguig, who competed in Miss Intercontinental 2015; Kris Tiffany Janson of Cebu, who competed in Miss Intercontinental 2014; and Cyrille Payumo of Pampanga, who was crowned as Miss Tourism International 2019. [18] [19] [20]

Withdrawals and replacements

Out of the 55 initial contestants announced, four announced their withdrawal from the competition prior to the coronation night: Natasha Jung of Kananga on February 22, 2024; [21] Joanne Marie Thornley of Angeles on March 19; [22] Lorraine Ojimba of Quezon City on April 3; [23] and Kiara Landon of the Filipino community of Washington, United States, on April 19. [24]

Two of the four franchises with withdrawn delegates sent replacement candidates to the pageant: Kananga announced Phoebe Torita as its new delegate on February 28, [25] while Quezon City announced Cam Lagmay as its new delegate on April 7. [26] Angeles and Washington did not send new delegates, ultimately withdrawing from the competition. [27]

On April 2, 2024, the organization announced that the coronation night will be held on May 22, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Bay City, Pasay. [28] The sale of tickets for the event began on April 8. [29] The pageant and its related events are being held with the theme "Love For All". [30] [31] The initial fifty-five competitors were formally introduced at a press presentation on February 18, at the Hilton Manila. This was held concurrently with the appointment ceremonies for the Miss Philippines and Mister Pilipinas Worldwide pageants. [32] [33]

Additional titles

On May 13, 2024, the organization announced that four more national titles would be contested in the pageant. [34] In a separate ceremony following the coronation night, delegates were appointed to represent the country in Miss Supranational, Miss Charm, Miss Eco International, and Miss Cosmo. [35]

The results of the preliminary competition, held on May 19, 2024, at the Manila Hotel, which evaluated the 53 delegates in the swimsuit and evening gown categories and the closed-door interviews, determined the first 15 semifinalists for the edition. [62] [63] The voting public determined the winners of the pre-pageant challenges which each advanced a delegate to the semifinals, creating a total of 20 semifinalists, an increase of two from the previous edition. [62] The semifinalists competed in the swimsuit competition, where they were then narrowed down to ten. Afterward, top 10 competed in the evening gown competition, where five delegates were chosen to advance to the finals. The top five finalists then participated in the question and answer portion where Miss Universe Philippines 2024 and her runners-up were determined. [64]

Selection committee

The panel of judges for the pageant consisted of: [65]

In addition to the ten judges, the public voted in real-time as the eleventh judge in each stage of the coronation night. [66]

Broadcast

The pageant was broadcast online through the YouTube channel of EmpirePH. [67] [68] Miss Universe 2022 R'Bonney Gabriel, Alden Richards, Jeannie Mai, Gabbi Garcia, and Tim Yap presented the program. [69] Meanwhile Lola Amour, Marina Summers, and Win Metawin performed in select segments of the event. [70] [71] [72]

Issues

The delayed telecast of the preliminary interviews and the preliminary gala night, originally set to be aired on May 20, at 12:00 p.m. and 6:00pm (PhST), respectively, on the EmpirePH YouTube channel, was subject to delays and glitches and was eventually made private. [73] Attracting backlash from netizens, the organizers released a public apology and re-uploaded the video of the telecast. [73] The coronation night, which ran for nearly six hours, was criticized on social media for its length. [74] The organization explained that the length was a result of allotting "enough time" for the "tabulations, production set-ups, and costume changes" during the event. As a result, a shortened version of the pageant was uploaded on the organization's YouTube channel. [75]
