Hindi lamang ang resulta ng gabi ng koronasyon ng Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) 2026 noong Mayo 2, 2026 ang pinag-uusapan dahil pinupuri rin ang Pilipinong-Pilipinong disenyo ng entablado ng Mall of Asia Arena.
Si Ronald King, 47, ang production designer ng MUPH 2026.
Idea ni Ronald na gamitin ang National Museum of Fine Arts sa entablado ng MUPH.
Paliwanag niya: “The stage foreground is anchored on a grand architectural interpretation of the National Museum of Fine Arts, featuring its iconic neoclassical columns, arches, and pediment with integrating visuals inspired by celebrated Filipino artists.
“To transform the pageant stage /floor to a living repository of national heritage and to fuel today’s thriving creatives whose works continue to shape, redefine, and celebrate the soul of Philippine artistry.”
Malaking hamon para kay Ronald at sa kanyang team ang pagbuo sa entablado para sa koronasyon ng MUPH 2026 dahil sa pagkaantalang nangyari.
Lahad niya: “Katatapos lang ng SexBomb concert sa MOA Arena noong Biyernes, May 1, a day before the coronation night.
“So, yung traffic from their egress to MUPH ingress, the set up time was delayed by six hours.
“Six hours is a lot kasi may hinahabol kami na technical rehearsals ng candidates, pati ang technical at broadcast rehearsals.”

A DREAM FULFILLED
Masayang-masaya si Ronald sa kabila ng hindi inaasahang aberya na naranasan dahil natupad ang pangarap niyang lumikha ng entablado para sa Miss Universe Philippines.
“This is a dream fulfilled,” ani Ronald, na nagtapos ng Bachelor in Business Administration sa Philippine School of Business Administration.
“I am still overwhelmed by all the love for the MUPH stage design. Maraming salamat to everyone who appreciated the details, the story, and the vision behind it.
“This was more than just a stage—it’s a tribute to Filipino creativity and pride. I am so grateful to be part of something that represents us on a global platform.
“From provincial, municipal and barangay pageants to the national stage—this journey has been nothing short of surreal.
“Thank you for all the love for the MUPH stage design. Every step, every small stage, led to this moment.”
