Miss Universe Philippines is a beauty pageant competition and organization in the Philippines that selects the country's representative to the Miss Universe pageant, one of the Big Four international beauty pageants. The current Miss Universe Philippines is Gazini Ganados who was crowned on June 9, 2019 at the Smart Araneta Colesium, Quezon City.
The pageant is inspired by Miss Universe's slogan "Confidently Beautiful," and henceforth adopted the theme "Confident, beautiful, and empowered Filipinas.
Until 2011, the Philippine representatives to the Miss Universe pageant were known by the title Bini bining Filipinas - Universe. The title Miss Universe Philippines was first given to Janine Tugonon during the Bini bining Filipinas 2012 coronation night, and since then the title has been continuously given to the competition's annual winners.
In 2019, the Miss Universe franchise in the Philippines, previously held by Bini bining Filipinas, was granted to a new organizing body headed by national director Shamcey Supsup-Lee, which paved the way for the creation of the new Miss Universe Philippines Organization. The new organization is tasked to hold a separate standalone pageant in the selection of the future Miss Universe Philippines titleholders from 2020 onwards. Beginning 2020, the standalone Miss Universe Philippines competition will launch its first national search.
Prior to Miss Universe Philippines, the title was awarded through Bini bining Filipinas Charities, Inc. through the Bini bining Filipinas pageant from 1964 to 2019.
In 1969, Gloria Diaz was the first ever Filipina to wear the Miss Universe crown, followed by Margarita Moran in 1973. After 42 years, Pia Wurtzbach brought back the title to the Philippines in 2015. And in 2018, Catriona Gray was the latest Filipina Miss Universe titleholder.
