The organization also revealed that they're currently working on shortlisting the delegates to Top 30. No date of annoucement was disclosed though.
The MUP organization partnered with the social entertainment platform Kumu for an “interactive pageant” for this year's edition. The partnership promises to give delegates “fun live streaming tasks,” “interactive exclusive shows,” and “daily and weekly kumustuhan segments,” but additional information about such activities have yet to be revealed.
Last year, the organization started with 100 delegates, who underwent several online and remote challenges in the succeeding weeks. They were then narrowed down to the Top 75 and 50 based on their performances in the challenges and votes from supporters, before the final list of 30 candidates were announced.
Reigning titleholder Beatrice Luigi Gomez, who finished as part of the top 5 at the Miss Universe competition in December 2021, is set to crown her successor. The Miss Universe Philippines 2022 pageant night is scheduled for April 30.
