Usap-usapan ang beauty contest na "The Miss Philippines" dahil wala silang swimsuit competition, bilang progresibong hakbang daw sa mga nakasanayang itinatampok sa beauty pageants.
Makikita sa cover photo ng kanilang Facebook page noong Agosto 29 ang kanilang tagline na "Pageantry Reinvented."
Paliwanag ng organisasyon, hindi sa tutol sila sa swimsuit competition, subalit nais lamang daw nilang mas magbigay ng pokus sa ibang bagay, higit pa sa vital statistics ng isang babae.
"It’s not that we have anything against swimsuits. In fact, we will hold photoshoots at our world-famous beaches and resorts. But onstage, we’d like to shift the focus on things other than a woman’s vital statistics."
"The Miss Philippines is a platform for a woman’s voice to be heard, for her influence to be felt, and for her passion to promote Filipino culture and heritage be amplified."
"We’ll have an exciting Runway Segment where the spotlight will shine on each of our proud candidates. The Miss Philippines."
"Join us in a reinvented pageant for Filipinas from all over the world," anila.https://
Bukod sa swimsuit competition, kakaiba rin ang kanilang evening gown competition na tinawag nilang "Glam Red Carpet." Ito raw ay kauna-unahang gagawin sa isang Philippine pageantry.
"In place of the conventional Evening Gown Competition, The Miss Philippines will instead have a major GLAM Red Carpet Moment where candidates have the choice to wear what they want and to be able to show off their best version of formal wear-- whether it’s an avant-garde tailored pantsuit or the most fabulous couture gown."
"After all, in today’s red carpets across the world, from Cannes to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, women have the option of wearing more than the typical evening gown to show off their character and personality."
"This is a first in pageantry. Only from The Miss Philippines," giit pa nila.
