Pageant fans, mark the calendar: the Miss Universe Philippines 2026 swimsuit show is set for March 21 at Aqua Boracay in Bulabog Beach. GMA Entertainment reported that the venue partner itself announced the event details, including the start time of 4 p.m. plus the seat plan and ticket prices.

The swimsuit show has become one of the most watched parts of the national pageant because it gives delegates a chance to show confidence, stage presence, and crowd appeal outside the formal coronation night setup. In Aqua Boracay’s words, this is the moment when the candidates “own the stage.”

This event comes after a busy stretch for this year’s contenders. Earlier in March, the delegates already took part in the Miss Universe Philippines press presentation, which included a parade at the SM Mall of Asia Arena and a formal presentation later at the City of Dreams.

Among the candidates drawing attention is Roxie Smith, who is competing as Miss Universe Philippines Baguio. GMA noted that Roxie has been sharing polished fashion looks online since her crowning and sashing, helping keep her name in the pageant conversation.

For fans following this year’s race, the Boracay swimsuit show is shaping up to be one of the key pre-pageant spectacles bago ang bigger competition stages ahead. Source: GMA Entertainment
