Background
Selection of participants
Changes in the selection of candidates were announced during the press presentation for Miss Universe Philippines in Marquis Events Hall in Taguig City on April 11, 2023. Starting from the 2024 pageant, there will be no more screening by the Miss Universe Philippines organization to determine the candidates. Instead, they will qualify through either winning local pageants organized by accredited partners or appointment by accredited partners.[1][2]
In September 2023, during the peak of Tanner Fletcher's show in New York Fashion Week, Miss Universe 2022 R'Bonney Gabriel announced that the Miss Universe Organization had decided to remove age restrictions for candidates aged 18 and above starting in the 73rd edition of Miss Universe. Because of this, candidates aged 18 and above are now allowed to participate in Miss Universe Philippines.[3][4]
