History

From 1964 up until 2019, Binibining Pilipinas holds the national franchise for Miss Universe, wherein it was responsible for selecting the Filipino women who would represent the Philippines and compete at the annual Miss Universe pageant.[2] Under Binibining Pilipinas, the Philippine representatives to the Miss Universe pageant were crowned under the title of Binibining Pilipinas from 1964 to 1971 and Binibining Pilipinas Universe from 1974 until 2011.[3] In 2012, the franchise renamed the Binibining Pilipinas Universe title to Miss Universe Philippines. The title was first given to Janine Tugonon during the Binibining Pilipinas 2012 coronation night, and has been continuously given to the competition's annual winners since.[4]

In December 2019, the Miss Universe franchise in the Philippines was officially granted to a new organizing body with Binibining Pilipinas - Universe 2011, Shamcey Supsup-Lee as its national director and Binibining Pilipinas - Universe 2006, Lia Andrea Ramos as its Women Empowerment Chair, paving the way for the creation of the new Miss Universe Philippines Organization. Under the new organization, a separate, standalone pageant is now responsible for the selection of the future Miss Universe Philippines titleholders from 2020 onwards. [5]

Crown
  • Filipina (2020–present) — Aptly named as Filipina, a feminine form of Filipino, the crown has been used to award the winner of the Miss Universe Philippines since the 2020 edition. The headwear was crafted by the Villarica family of Bulacan, a famous Filipino family of jewelers known for their famed Villarica Pawnshop Chain, along with an all-female staff. The elements of the crown are representations of qualities, aspirations, values, and symbols of the Filipino people. Swirl of leaves represents every women who aims for success in "different forms" but still keeps "the Filipino values in their hearts"; Diamond embedded in each leaf signifies "the sparkle" in the lives of people that each woman encounters; Golden South Sea Pearls represent four values of creativity, intelligence, optimism, and fear of God; Sapphire, Ruby and Topaz was patterned after the blue, red, and yellow colors of the Philippine flag.[6][7] The crown has an estimated value of ₱5,000,000.[8]
