Miss Universe Philippines has always been synonymous with iconic moments—memorable runway walks, stunning national costumes, and unforgettable Q&A exchanges. But this year, the excitement reaches new heights as fans are given a genuine voice in choosing who will wear the crown.
Maya, the Philippines' #1 Digital Bank and the Official Voting Partner of Miss Universe Philippines (MUPh) 2026, has teamed up with the hilarious Dogshow Divas, Baus Rufo and Macoy Dubs, to launch KEMELEC. This witty campaign cleverly blends pageant glamour with political humor to show Filipinos exactly how they can be part of the action in selecting the next queen.
In KEMELEC, Baus and Macoy take on the role of official "Kemessioners"—your trusted authorities for all MUPh updates and voting "paandar." They are here to guide fans on how to turn their support into actual votes.
