MANILA — The coronation night of Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) 2026 has been rescheduled to May 2 at 7 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, the organization announced.

The MUPH said the adjustment from the original May 1 schedule was made “allows sufficient time for venue preparation and ensures the proper staging and production of the coronation night.”

Previously purchased tickets will remain valid for the new date, the organization added.

Ticket prices for the event range from P800 for general admission to P11,300 for SVIP seats, with tickets available through SM Tickets.

Over the weekend, MUPH also unveiled its Top 40 candidates who will compete for the 2026 crown.

The selection was based on public voting and deliberations by the selection committee during the evening gown competition.

The winner will be crowned by reigning Miss Universe Philippines 2025 and Sparkle artist Ahtisa Manalo, and will represent the country in the Miss Universe 2026 pageant scheduled in November in Puerto Rico.
