Miss Universe Philippines unveils ‘Ring Light,’ 1st ever ‘fundraising online pageant series’

Miss Universe Philippines is set to launch “Ring Light,” the first ever “fundraising online pageant series” that will shed light on what it takes to become a beauty queen.

According to the organization’s press release on Wednesday, Ring Light will go beyond the coronation night and will feature various aspects of a pageant, from “rigorous trainings” to “fascinating challenges and fun, behind-the-scenes activities.”

Composed of 8 episodes, “Ring Light” will follow the 50 aspiring Miss Universe Philippines candidates and will show viewers their journey toward the crown.

“We’re very excited to launch ‘Ring Light,’ the first-ever fundraising online pageant series that will allow fans to take the same journey to the crown while making a positive impact,” said Shamcey Supsup-Lee, Miss Universe Philippines national director and Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner up.

“With this online series, we hope to inspire our viewers to find their own light and empowerment and show that beauty is not only skin deep,” she added.

To premiere on Sept. 27 on empire.ph, “Ring Light” will be available for streaming for a one-time fee of Php 299. Early birds get to pay only Php 249 if they purchase from July 22 to Aug. 31.

A portion of the subscription will go to the candidates’ chosen beneficiary and partner organizations.

Fans can direct their support to their intended advocacy by using the referral code found on the corresponding candidate’s Instagram page upon purchase.
