The Miss Universe Philippines 2026 press presentation involves a parade at MOA Arena followed by the press presentation at the City of Dreams.
Pageant fans and aficionados need to clear their calendars for Monday, February 16, as the Miss Universe Philippines has revealed the schedule for its press presentation of this year's delegates.
In one of the more recent posts on its official Instagram account, the Miss Universe Philippines organization revealed the schedule for this Monday's presentation, which will start with a parade at the SM Mall of Asia Arena at 3 p.m. and then head to the City of Dreams for the press presentation at 5 p.m.
The Miss Universe Philippines press presentation was already announced three days ago with a post from the official Instagram account of the City of Dreams Manila. In the post, the hotel said that #TheFirstWalk, the press presentation for this year's Miss Universe Philippines delegates, will be held there.
The Kapuso Network's own Roxie Smith was already announced as this year's Miss Universe Philippines Baguio at a crowning and sashing ceremony at The Proscenium in Rockwell, Makati, Roxie called the opportunity “a dream always planted” in her heart that she is now happy to pursue.
The press and pageant aficionados will also be looking at who will be representing Benguet, if at all, after Miss Universe Philippines Benguet 2026 Cristeta Longey announced her resignation from her post, alleging issues against the Miss Universe Philippines Benguet organization on her Instagram account.
According to Cristeta, the organization informed her last month that it would be unable to financially support her Miss Universe Philippines journey, only for her to find out that the organization was allegedly preparing another representative for the pageant without informing her, after she had invested “time, personal resources, and emotional energy” into preparing for the Miss Universe pageant.
Cristeta also alleged that the organization accused her of “utter disloyalty” for speaking up about issues within the organization involving cash prizes. According to Cristeta, the cash prizes for the Miss Universe Philippines Benguet pageant winners still haven't been released, with the organization only planning to do so by February 15 this year. Cristeta says she and her fellow winners were crowned in October last year.
