​​The 2018 Miss Universe beauty pageant is headed back to Asia as Thailand will host the prestigious beauty contest on December 17, organizers announced during a press conference in Bangkok last July 31.

Miss Universe Organization president Paula Shugart, accompanied by Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, made the announcement.

​The Prime Event Productions Philippines (PEPPS) Foundation Inc., the group that organizes the annual Misters of Filipinas pageant, has maintained that candidates for the local male pageant must be single and were never married.

In a statement released through Richard Montoya, PEPPS director for legal, says: "The PEPPS Board has been very considerate of this sensitive issue and we have told the candidates that the rule that we have adopted since the 2015 edition is that the Candidate must be SINGLE as shown in his Passport and was NEVER Married."

PEPPS, headed by its president Carlo Morris Galang, was reacting to the revelation of reigning Mister Universe Tourism who says that he has a three-year-old son. The group says that it is aware that Perez has a child when he joined the local male search in 2017.
