Background edit
On April 11, 2023, the Miss Universe Philippines Organization introduced the Accredited Partners Program during its press presentation at the Marquis Events Hall in Taguig, ahead of its 2023 edition.[1] The program will oversee the selection of delegates from the 2024 pageant onwards, replacing the application process used by the pageant since its inception. Instead, candidates will qualify by either securing victory in local pageants organized by accredited partners or receiving appointment from accredited partners.[2]
In addition to selecting the delegates to the Miss Universe Philippines pageants, the accredited partners may send delegates to the sister pageant, The Miss Philippines.[3]
