The pageant was held virtually for the second year, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.[2] Lorraine Schuck, executive vice-president of Carousel Productions said: "The safety of all delegates, production staff, and the general public remains paramount to the organization and will, in no way, put anyone involved in the event at risk." The pageant was confirmed to take place on November 21, 2021.[1][2]
