The Miss Universe Philippines pageant is gearing up at the start of the year with multiple local pageants.
Local pageant fans have something to look forward to again as the Miss Universe Philippines organization has announced the coronation nights of a number of local pageants in the coming weeks.
In one of the more recent posts on its official Instagram account, the Miss Universe Philippines organization uploaded a graphic showing the upcoming coronations in January and February, starting with January 19 in Pampanga and ending with February 9 in Quezon City. The pageants and coronation nights are organized by the Miss Universe Philippines organization's accredited partners and will be the one representing their provinces and cities during the Miss Universe Philippines national pageant.
The Miss Universe Philippines organization has been signing contracts with accredited partners over the past few months, with the latest one being the accredited partner for Quezon Province. It was announced last month that Gerald Ortiz is the organization's accredited partner in Quezon Province. The organization also posted multiple pictures from the contract signing that featured Miss Universe Philippines national director Shamcey Supsup-Lee, AP Directors Joseph Rivera and Arnold Mercado, and CPT President Lloyd Lee.

The accredited partner program is just the latest move by the Miss Universe Philippines organization and its sister groups to strengthen their position in the local pageant scene. In September last year, Miss Universe Philippines' sister organization The Miss Philippines announced a partnership with Miss Asia Pacific International. The Miss Asia Pacific International was first started in 1965 as a Miss Asia contest before becoming Miss Asia Pacific in 1984 and Miss Asia Pacific Quest in 1985 before becoming Miss Asia Pacific International. The pageant aims to promote Philippine tourism overseas, which mirrors The Miss Philippines pageant's own objectives.

The Miss Universe Philippines organization also teased The Miss Philippines California back in August, with the group raising the possibility of the next Miss Universe Philippines being a “Fil-Am beauty.”
Meanwhile, the current reigning Miss Universe Philippines Michelle Dee is not just continuing her advocacy work but is also getting back in front of the camera with a role in the Kapuso action series Black Rider.
