Miss Plus Size pageant was created, according to Mandaluyong City first lady Menchie Abalos, to raise awareness (to obesity).

Aside from the easy availability of fast foods anywhere, it is surprising to hear what Dr. Roberto Mirasol (Philippine Association for the Study of Overweight and Obesity) has to say about Filipinos outlook on being fat.

In this documentary we shot and produced for CCTV Assignment Asia, we follow two contestants Ara and Daisy May, as they tell us why they wanted to join the pageant.
