By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

With the grapevine abuzz with a number of crossover aspirants signing up for the 2023 Miss Universe Philippines pageant, the national organization has extended the deadline of the submission of online applications from February 5 to Valentine's Day, Feb.14, 11:59 pm.

In a social media post, the Miss Universe Philippines (MUPh) organization also informed the pageant community that it will accept physical, on-site applications from Feb. 13 to 17. It will then proceed to its first selection thereafter.

Pageant fans and supporters are eagerly suggesting names of women who they think can bring back the country's semifinal streak, as well as win the Philippines' fifth Miss Universe crown.

Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Silvia Celeste Cortesi's failure to place in the recently concluded Miss Universe edition in New Orleans, Louisiana has culminated the country's longest active streak at twelve; which started with Venus Raj in 2010 until Bea Luigi Gomez in 2021.

Celeste will crown her successor at the close of the 2023 Miss Universe Philippines competition. Stay tuned!
