Since 2010, the Philippines consistently finished in the semifinals of Miss Universe. Over the decade, they have already produced four Miss Universe titleholders including, Gloria Diaz, Margie Moran, Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray.
From 1964 up until 2019, Binibining Pilipinas held the national franchise for Miss Universe, wherein it was responsible for selecting the Filipino women who would represent the Philippines and compete at the annual Miss Universe pageant.
In December 2019, the Miss Universe franchise in the Philippines was officially granted to a new organizing body with Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2011 Shamcey Supsup-Lee as its national director and Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2006 Lia Andrea Ramos as its Women Empowerment Chair, paving the way for the creation of the new Miss Universe Philippines Organization.
Miss Universe Philippines is a beauty pageant and organization that selects the Philippines' official representative to the Miss Universe pageant. Under the new organization, a separate, standalone pageant is now responsible for the selection of the future Miss Universe Philippines titleholders from 2020 onwards.
