MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The countdown to Miss Universe Philippines 2026 has officially begun, and pageant fans are buzzing with excitement! The organization recently revealed a sleek new logo, inspired by the iconic Miss Universe emblem, featuring a striking eight-pronged star symbolizing unity, elegance, and Filipina excellence.
Accompanying the logo is a teaser video that takes viewers on a breathtaking tour of the Philippines—from scenic beaches to vibrant city streets—while celebrating past queens, including the beloved Ahtisa Manalo and Rabiya Mateo.
“From every corner of the nation rise stories shaped by culture, courage, and conviction—each powerful, each distinct, coming together in one universe that honors Filipina beauty and strength 🇵🇭,” the pageant shared.
The last few editions have been unforgettable, with international pageant veterans raising the bar. Ahtisa Manalo wowed the world by finishing as third runner-up at the 74th Miss Universe pageant in Thailand, and Chelsea Fernandez claimed the runner-up spot at the 2025 Miss Cosmo pageant in Vietnam.
Looking ahead, Katrina Llegado (Miss Philippines-Supranational) and Gabriella Carballo (Miss Philippines-Eco International) will represent the country in global competitions this year, continuing the tradition of excellence.
While the full details for the 2026 competition remain under wraps, several delegates have already secured their places, either by winning local pageants or through direct appointments. Fans across the nation are eagerly waiting for the next chapter of this dazzling journey—promising another season filled with beauty, talent, and inspiring stories of Filipina empowerment.
