Jonas Gaffud (2024) Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) is a beauty pageant and organization that selects the Philippines' official representative to Miss Universe—one of the Big Four beauty pageants.
From 1964 to 2019, Binibining Pilipinas held the national franchise for Miss Universe, wherein it was responsible for selecting Filipinas to represent the Philippines and compete at the annual Miss Universe pageant.
Under the new organization, a separate, standalone pageant is now responsible for the selection of the current and future Miss Universe Philippines titleholders (2020—present).
[4][5] In April 2023, the Miss Universe Philippines introduced the Accredited Partners Program, allowing local pageants to access MUPH branded merchandising.
[6] Starting from the 2024 edition, MUPH would stop holding the traditional screening process to determine the entrants for its pageant and contestants would only be able to enter through local pageants held by accredited partners.
