Miss Universe Philippines Pampanga (MUPP) is a provincial title awarded by the Miss Universe Philippines organization representing the province of Pampanga. The titleholder promotes the province’s rich culture, heritage, and tourism as Pampanga’s official Ambassador. The winner of the title is eligible to compete for the national Miss Universe Philippines crown.[1]
History
[edit]The Miss Universe Philippines Pampanga title became part of the Miss Universe Philippines Accredited Partners Program after its separation from the Binibining Pilipinas organization in 2019.
The titleholder is selected either through local pageants or appointed by provincial organizers. Participants typically engage in preparation activities focused on public speaking, runway presentation, and community engagement before representing Pampanga in the national competition.[2]
Selection process
[edit]The Miss Universe Philippines Pampanga pageant features multiple segments, including evening gown, swimsuit, and question-and-answer rounds. Contestants are judged on their beauty, intelligence, and advocacy. Local mentors, along with Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) officials, will guide the winners in preparing for the national competition.
