MANILA, Philippines — The 73rd Miss Universe pageant is all set to take place in Mexico as 130 delegates vie to succeed Nicaragua's Sheynnis Palacios.

Filipinos will be throwing their support for Chelsea Manalo, the country's first Filipino-Black American representative, to take home the Philippines' fifth Miss Universe crown.

There will also be a shower of cheers for three other half-Filipino contestants: New Zealand's Victoria Velasquez Vincent, the United Kingdom's Christina dela Cruz Chalk, and Bahrain's Shereen Ahmed.

The Miss Universe 2024 preliminary round will take place on November 14 (the 15th in the Philippines) where the different queens will strut in their national costumes and swimsuits.

During this portion which Filipinos can watch via the Miss Universe YouTube channel at 10 a.m. of November 15, four continental queens and one fan-vote winner will be announced and automatically qualify for the semifinal round.

They will be joined by 25 other queens in the Top 30 — the biggest number for semifinalists yet — on coronation night, followed by a Top 12 that will compete in the evening gown portion, then a Top 5 competing in the question and answer competition from which the new Miss Universe will emerge.
