Ever since the 2020 Miss Universe Philippines pageant announced that they were pushing through with the pageant in Baguio City with the organization’s top priority being the health and safety of all our candidates, the group ensured the public that they will be following all of the protocols and guidelines set forth by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID). The event will be holding its preliminary interview, national costume, swimsuit, evening gown, and grand finale at the Baguio Country Club on October 25, Sunday. And with two contestants recently having to pull out of the competition for health reasons, the Miss Universe Philippines Organization also provided care and support for all their candidates by having all of them undergo swab testing with their official health partner, St. Luke’s Medical Center, which would also give them the best care and treatment needed, should any of them become positive of COVID. <a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/10/18/fresh-scoops/miss-universe-philippines-on-two-of-their-candidat-188989' target='_blank'>READ: Miss Universe Philippines on two of their candidates testing positive for COVID-19: ‘We salute their bravery and courage’</a><a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/10/22/fresh-scoops/2020-miss-universe-philippines-website-gets-attac-189156' target='_blank'>READ: 2020 Miss Universe Philippines website gets ‘attacked by unknown sources’</a>Last October 23, Miss Universe Philippines organizers released another statement revealing their lineup of preliminary judges comprised of former Miss Universe Philippines winners.
