Miss Universe Philippines 2026 is introducing its first daily free fan voting system through the Maya app, allowing supporters to cast votes for their preferred candidates throughout the competition.
Maya, the country’s leading digital bank and the pageant’s official voting partner, will enable users to receive free votes each day, making participation more accessible and encouraging sustained engagement.
For the first time, fans will also be able to take part in live voting during coronation night, a move organizers say will make the pageant more interactive, secure, and inclusive.
Supporters can vote directly through the Maya app. Users who upgrade their accounts gain access to free daily votes, allowing them to stay involved and influence the competition over time.
Public voting will be open for a limited period ahead of coronation night, with the full schedule to be announced on the pageant’s official social media platforms.
Votes submitted through the Maya platform will be included in the selection process alongside judges’ scores, contributing to the announcement of semifinalists on coronation night.
Organizers said the initiative expands access and participation, enabling Filipinos nationwide to engage in the competition through public voting and real-time judging moments.
The partnership reflects the pageant’s push toward greater public involvement, positioning the journey to the crown as a shared national experience shaped by both expert evaluation and fan support.
