U Be the Judge: Experience First-Ever Live Scoring at Miss Universe Philippines 2026 with Maya

For the first time in Philippine pageant history, the crown won’t be decided by judges alone. This year, Filipinos get to take the judge’s seat.

 

Powered by Maya, the #1 Digital Bank in the Philippines and Official Voting Partner of Miss Universe Philippines (MUPh) 2026, coronation night transforms into a fully interactive experience—where fans can score candidates live, in real time, alongside the Selection Committee.

 

From Viewer to Judge: A Major, Major Shift

MUPh raises the stakes by giving fans a more meaningful role during the most anticipated night of the competition.

 

Through Maya’s live scoring feature, audiences can evaluate candidates as they compete across key segments—from swimsuit to evening gown to Q&A. Every walk. Every answer. Every moment. Now comes with a score—from you.

 

How It Works: Your Front-Row Seat to Judging

Joining the live scoring experience is simple and seamless through the Maya app:

• Step 1: Through the MUPh tile in the Maya app, purchase a Premium Pass, and review the instructions and scoring guide.

• Step 2: During the coronation night, enter the active competition round (e.g., Swimsuit, Evening Gown, Q&A) and review the candidates

• Step 3: Score each candidate based on your evaluation (from 1 to 10) and review your scores after each round

 

From confidence and stage presence to overall impact and suitability to the round, fans can judge using guided criteria—making the experience both fun and meaningful.

 

 

More Than Just Voting—A Voice That Counts

Beyond live scoring, fans can continue to support their favorite queens throughout the competition by getting FREE votes every day or buying more votes for your MUPh bets. 

 

With Maya powering this innovation, pageantry evolves into something more dynamic—where fan support doesn’t just live in comments or conversations, but becomes part of the journey itself.

 

Because on coronation night, when everything is on the line, one thing becomes clear: The universe isn’t just watching. The universe is judging.

 

U vote. U decide. U crown. For free. U vote with Maya.
