Over 50 candidates of the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 arrived in Isulan town, Sultan Kudarat province on Wednesday afternoon to begin their 4-day activities.The candidates were warmly welcomed by fans and with the performance of a traditional dance using indigenous instruments at the General Santos City International Airport.For the first time in the pageant’s history, a major event will be held in Mindanao, as the national costume competition will be held in the province on Sunday evening.The runway challenge of the Miss Universe Philippines will also be shot in Sultan Kudarat.MUPH president Jonas Gaffud said the opening video of the coronation night will showcase the province.For Gaffud and MUPH national director Shamcey Lee, the organization aims to showcase the beauty across all parts of the Philippines.“It is about time that we have to showcase some places in our country that are never really showcased internationally,” Gaffud said in a press briefing.“Hopefully, this is just the start of many more activities all over the Philippines and especially here in Mindanao kasi marami pang hindi natin na-showcase. So this is the start,” said Lee, who hails from General Santos City.The organization said that it brought the entire candidates to Sultan Kudarat, not just to showcase the culture and tourism in the province, but also to remove the stigma and the thought of being afraid in Mindanao.In the next days, the Miss Universe Philippines contingent will also participate in a fashion show featuring Inaul, indigenous materials, and local designers.The ladies will also visit tourist attractions in Sultan Kudarat and a Halo-halo festival in Esperanza town.“Ito nga ang programa, yung kabundukan, karagatan, at kapatagan. And anywhere in Sultan Kudarat, you will see beautiful sceneries, where we can share it not just to Mindanaoans, but also to the Filipinos,” provincial tourism officer Kaharudin Dalaten said.“Yung aim din natin dito ay ma-break ang stereotype, &#x27;yung stigma about Muslim communities, about Mindanao, and the rest of the communities in Mindanao,” he added.
