Miss Universe 2016 will be the 65th Miss Universe pageant. It will be held on 30 January 2017 at the Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. Pia Wurtzbach from the Philippines will crown her successor at the end of the event.

Organization

The Philippines has been making preparations for the hosting even before the Miss Universe Organization confirmed the country's hosting rights in November 2016. The pageant will be organized by the Miss Universe Organization along with the Philippine Department of Tourism, and LCS Group of Companies.[2]

Negotiations

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach on a courtesy call with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. The two had talks regarding the possibility of hosting Miss Universe 2016 in the Philippines.

On 18 July 2016, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach made a courtesy call with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in regards to hosting Miss Universe 2016 in the Philippines. Duterte was initially open to the idea but refused to shoulder the expenses through government funding.[3] Later reports revealed that the Philippine Department of Tourism clarified that the President was never opposed to the idea of hosting the pageant but only had concerns with the financing.[4]

The Department of Tourism unilaterally confirmed on 28 July 2016 that the Philippines will host the pageant. According to DOT Media Director Ina Zara, Miss Universe Organization President, Paula Shugart said that other countries were considered to host Miss Universe 2016, but the Philippines has been a prime choice for the organization.[4] The hosting of the pageant by the Philippines just about two weeks after the announcement by the DOT was reportedly "80 percent confirmed".[5] The Miss Universe Organization has yet to confirm the location or date of the pageant.

On 3 November 2016, the Miss Universe Organization, through a video message from Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, officially announced that the Philippines will host the pageant. The DOT welcomed the announcement.[2][6]

Venues

Prior to the July 2016 "confirmation" of the main venue by the DOT, President Rodrigo Duterte made requests for the Miss Universe 2016 organizers to stage auxiliary events outside Metro Manila, in locations such as Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Palawan, Boracay, Baguio, Bicol, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga and Vigan in an effort to support local tourism. The Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay will be the main coronation venue of the pageant according to the Philippine Tourism Secretary Wanda Corazon Teo with auxiliary events also reportedly to be hosted in Camiguin.[7]

The province of Cebu was being considered as the venue of the photoshoot of the swimsuit competition, while Vigan was designated for the photoshoot of the national costume competition. The Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan was the other venue considered by the Department of Tourism as the main coronation venue of the pageant but the Miss Universe Organization disapproved of the venue due to "security reasons".[8][9] Boracay and Palawan were later decided to be not among the venues of the ancillary events in favor of promoting Cebu as "an international gateway".[8] Baguio is confirmed to be hosting one of the pageant's auxilliary events in November 2, 2016.[10]

When the hosting of the Philippines was confirmed in November 2016 by the Miss Universe Organization. Teo reaffirmed that the pageant's main venue will be in the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay and will be held in January 30, 2017.[2]

Finanzierung

The funds needed to stage the pageant in the country will come entirely from the private businesses. Among the reported sponsors are Filipino billionaire Henry Sy and Japanese billionaire Kazuo Okada. The Okada Manila, a hotel currently in construction, will serve as the residential venue for the Miss Universe 2016 candidates. The projected expense for the event is $11 million USD.[8][12]

A group led by Ilocos Sur Governor, Chavit Singson will handle the financial aspects of the event with the help of sponsoring organizations such as the Philippine Airlines, the SM Group, Solar Entertainment, as well as Japanese businessman Okada.[8]

Sicherheit

The confirmed candidates sent by various countries and territories are expected to arrive on 13 January 2017. The Philippine military will serve as security escorts for the candidates of Miss Universe, as assigned by the Philippine national security council.[13]

Program

The pageant will be held at 5 a.m. (UTC+08:00) at the Mall of Asia Arena. An American entertainer of Filipino descent will perform in the pageant. A reality-documentary television program entitled Journey to the Crown: A Celebration of Beauty will be broadcast on ETC on November 6, 2016 in the Philippines as part of marketing of the pageant.[6]

Presenters

Steve Harvey has a five year contract with the Miss Universe Organization for hosting the Miss Universe pageant. In contrast, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte expressed hesitation on Harvey hosting the event due to Harvey announcing the wrong winner at the Miss Universe 2015. In response, Philippine Department of Tourism head, Secretary Wanda Teo proposed the idea of having a Filipino woman co-host the event to neutralize the president's displeasure.[14] On November 3, 2016, Harvey is confirmed to reprise his role as host of the pageant.[6]
