WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
After months of challenges – including last-minute tweaks leading up to the pageant’s finals night – a new Miss Universe Philippines will be crowned on Thursday, September 30.
The pageant, only the second under the Miss Universe Philippines organization, happens in Bohol, where 28 candidates and the pageant team have been locked-in for over a week by the time the coronation night rolls around.
Rabiya Mateo will be crowning her successor, who’s set to represent the Philippines at the Miss Universe 2021 pageant in Israel come December.
