Young delegates of Little Miss & Miss Teen Universe 2026 took a break from their pageant activities for a day of friendship, entertainment and cultural exchange at Enchanted Kingdom in Santa Rosa, Laguna, with Filipino food company Sucere Foods Corp. joining the celebration.
The gathering brought together candidates representing different countries and communities for an afternoon that included performances, a welcome ceremony, a fashion showcase, talent presentations and rides and activities at the theme park.
The candidates also had the opportunity to meet fellow delegates and create memories during their stay in the Philippines, as the pageant highlights not only beauty but also confidence, individuality, talent, culture, character and advocacy.
Sucere, a partner in the event, held a product showcase and runway presentation featuring its confectionery products. The candidates were also given Sucere products as souvenirs.
The program included a live baking demonstration by Sucere chefs Valerie and Cristina, showing how familiar ingredients and products can be turned into treats.
“At Sucere, we believe that sweetness is not only something you taste—it is something you share,” Andrea Pauline Valentin Alzaga, Sucere’s assistant vice president for marketing, said.
“Being part of Little Miss & Miss Teen Universe 2026 allowed us to share our products with these inspiring young delegates while creating a meaningful experience they can remember long after their visit to the Philippines,” she added.
