After the release of the delegates’ introduction videos and the series of “Her Story” entries, the 2024 Miss Universe Philippines pageant now takes online viewers on a virtual tour of the country through the respective tourism videos of the 52 aspirants.

The videos dropped on April 6, at 6 P.M., and are now available for online viewers to watch all over the world.

One of the most anticipated phases of the virtual leg of the competition is the showcase of the different tourist attractions as delivered by the delegates themselves, acting as tour guides that feature some of the best destinations, gastronomic offerings, and cultural wonders throughout the Philippines.

The expectations are high this year with the full implementation of the pageant’s “accredited partnerships” program, where all the delegates have the backing of authorized individuals or groups who are expected to provide all the necessary support that a candidate would need to best compete in the national tilt, including assistance in producing the video requirements for the contest.

In the four previous editions, the Miss Universe Philippines pageant still conducted individual screenings of applicants, while getting partners from different parts of the country to send their delegates. This year, no individual applicants were accepted, and all delegates were fielded by accredited partners.

As in the introduction videos and “Her Story” videos, the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 delegates’ tourism videos were made available on the official YouTube channel of Empire Philippines, the team behind the annual competition and the sister search The Miss Philippines Culture and Heritage Celebration, as well as the male tilt Mister Pilipinas Worldwide.

Avid pageant followers are seeing the 2024 Miss Universe Philippines competition as a “bloodbath” with a competitive batch of contenders comprised of international titleholders and runners-up, seasoned contestants, and formidable newcomers.

The winner will succeed Michelle Marquez Dee, and will represent the Philippines in the 73rd Miss Universe pageant in Mexico later this year. The new queen will be crowned at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on May 22.

The Philippines has recorded four victories in the Miss Universe pageant, courtesy of Gloria Diaz in 1969, Margie Moran in 1973, Pia Wurtzbach in 2015, and Catriona Gray in 2018.
