Today marks a head to head challenge for the Filipino pageant fan.
MUP mounts their first pageant activity by presenting the official 52 candidates of this year's edition. Although it is reminiscent of the terno competition of Miss Universe 1994, I would say that they have added more gloss to the usual press presentation
On the other hand, pageant-institution Binibining Pilipinas upgrades their talent competition by having it in the New Frontier Theater. Incorporating the jeans fashion show to the talent competition gives it a more casual vibe
Seeing these two pocket competitions makes me reminiscent of the 2019 staging of the Miss Universe prepageant competition. It was a pale comparison and puts the global brand to shame. The stage quality was small and slippery, the venue felt so congested and uncomfortable and the program felt rushed and unplanned
