Coronation night of Miss Universe PH moved to October
The Miss Universe Philippines Organization has moved yet again the coronation night of the 2020 edition to October.
It was originally planned to happen on May 3 but postponed due to the imposition of enhanced community quarantine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Later, organizers announced it was moved to June 14.
In a video statement, Miss Universe Philippines National Director Shamcey
Supsup said they decided to move the coronation night to October so they could focus on humanitarian efforts in this time of pandemic.
According to Shamcey, being a beauty queen is more than just about the crown but helping others.
“Before that, expect new groundbreaking activities that will lead up to the pageant night. It includes the online Learning Journeys of contestants for their enhanced training sessions, a special limited series called Ring Light that will give incredible access to the most important parts of the competition, and a special online film featuring the preliminary competition that will raise funds for many Filipinos.
“All these and more will be done as Miss Universe Philippines strives to play our part in the recovery and rebuilding of the Philippines from the pandemic by being a role model, a rallying point, and a harbinger of hope for the Filipinos who are all truly phenomenal!,” part of the statement read.
Gazini Ganados is the reigning Miss Universe-Philippines.
