Ring Light is an online series that will take us behind-the-scenes of the beauty pageant world. It follows 50 aspiring Miss Universe Philippines candidates and is composed of eight episodes, including five learning episodes, a "challenge" episode, the swimsuit and gown competition, and the grand finale.
According to a press release from Miss Universe PH, Ring Light is "the first of its kind in the world as it gives pageant fans a closer look at what it truly takes to become a beauty queen. From rigorous training to fascinating challenges and fun, behind-the-scenes activities, Ring Light proves that there's more to beauty than meets the eye."
