Ayon kay Shamcey SupsupLee, national director, Miss Universe Philippine­s, nakaangkla sa tatlong pamantayan ang patimpalak: beautiful transforma­tion, beyond the coastlines, at inspiring women with action.

Ang “Beautiful transforma­tions” ay ang journey ng bawat kandidata para sa pagkamit ng best version nila, sa pamamagita­n ng training facilitate­d by some of the best in the pageant industry.

Ang “Beyond the coastlines” ay ang pagsasanay naman sa standout stunners na manatiling mapagkumba­ba at tumanaw ng utang na loob.

Habang ang “Inspiring women” ay susukat, magsasanay, at susuporta sa mga napiling adbokasiya ng mga kandidata, lalo na para sa “sustainabl­e and replicable in other places.”

Makakatang­gap naman ng prizes “fit for a queen” ang magwawagin­g Miss Universe Philippine­s 2020.

“For starters, the runners up get major cash prizes and guaranteed income. For the winner, aside from giving an incredible platform to her advocacies, she will have her own apartment, car, driver, personal assistant, and personal stylist. She will also get the biggest cash prize in the history of Philippine pageantry. Simply put, it is going to be a life fit for a queen,” pagbabahag­i ni Lee.

Bukod naman sa kanya, bahagi rin ng Team MUP sina: Jonas Antonio Gaffud, Creative Director; Lia Ramos, head of Women Empowermen­t and Charity; Albert Andrada, Design Council Head; lawyer Nad Bronce, Head of Legal Affairs; at Mario Garcia, Head of Business Developmen­t and Marketing.
