Miss Universe 2016, will be the 65th Miss Universe pageant, Pia Wurtzbach from the Philippines will crown her successor at the end of the event.
Organization
On 18 July 2016, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach made a courtesy call with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in regards to hosting Miss Universe 2016 in the Philippines. Duterte was initially open to the idea but refused to shoulder the expenses through government funding. Later reports revealed that the Philippine Department of Tourism clarified that the President was never opposed to the idea of hosting the pageant but only had concerns with the financing.
The Department of Tourism confirmed on 28 July 2016 that the Philippines will host the pageant. According to DOT Media Director Ina Zara, Miss Universe Organization President, Paula Shugart said that other countries were considered to host Miss Universe 2016, but the Philippines has been a prime choice for the organization. The hosting of the pageant by the Philippines just about two weeks after the announcement by the DOT was reportedly "80 percent confirmed". The Miss Universe Organization has yet to confirm the location or date of the pageant.
