History

Until 2011, the Philippine representatives to the Miss Universe pageant were known by the title Binibining Pilipinas - Universe. The title Miss Universe Philippines was first given to Janine Tugonon during the Binibining Pilipinas 2012 coronation night, and since then the title has been continuously given to the competition's annual winners.[3]

In 2019, the Miss Universe franchise in the Philippines, previously held by Binibining Pilipinas, 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.[4][5][6]

Prior to Miss Universe Philippines, the title was awarded by the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. through the Binibining Pilipinas pageant from 1964 to 2019.[7]
