A spokesperson for the Department said that, according to Miss Universe Organization president Paula Shugart, the Philippines was the organization's prime choice for hosting the pageant, although other countries were being considered.<ref name="cnnphiltohost"/>

			==Background==
	Despite the statement made by the Department of Tourism, the final decision to hold the pageant in the Philippines had not yet been made and, over the next few months, the Miss Universe Organization had changed its mind several times on the matter. Initial reports did not disclose the reasons for the breakdowns in negotiations, but a later report linked the Organization's concerns with Duterte's controversial remarks regarding U.S. President ], as well as his plans to separate ties between the Philippines and the United States. These statements were not received well by the ] (WME), the owners of the Miss Universe franchise. Duterte's statement that he would be glad to kill as many drug addicts as ] killed Jews during the ] led to WME executive Ziv Emanuel (brother of ]) to cancel the talks. ] governor ], who was also chairman of the LCS Group, sent representatives, including some Jewish friends, to the United States to persuade Emanuel to maintain his interest in a Philippines-hosted event. Duterte's later apology for his Holocaust-related remark helped in the renegotiation. Also helpful was Singson's offer to add women-empowerment programs to the pageant.<ref name="reallyhappen">{{cite news\|last1=Enriquez\|first1=Marge\|title=Chavit Singson: What really happened behind the scenes of Miss U\|url=http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/246331/chavit-singson-really-happened-behind-scenes-miss-u/\|accessdate=December 6, 2016\|newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer\|date=December 4, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news\|last1=Flores\|first1=Karen\|title=Did you know?

Format

The Miss Universe Organization introduced several specific changes to the format for this edition. The number of semifinalists was reduced to thirteen— the lowest since 2002. The results of the preliminary competition— which consisted of the swimsuit and evening gown competition, and the closed-door interview, determined the twelve semifinalists. Internet voting returned, with fans being able to vote for another delegate to advance into the semifinals, making the number of semifinalists thirteen. The thirteen semifinalists participated in the swimsuit competition, with nine advancing in the competition for the evening gown competition. Six finalists advanced to participate in the question and answer portion, while three finalists advanced to participate in the final question and the final walk.
