Miss Baguio City Krishnah Marie Gravidez, Miss Cavite Dia Maté, and Miss Batangas Bianca Tapia are all Miss Universe Philippines alumna, with Krishnah even giving up her Miss Charm Philippines to compete in the pageant.

The beach beauty competition was announced back in June 11. In the caption to the post, the organization said that audiences will see the candidates “showcase their elegance and charm against the breathtaking backdrop of Boracay.”

The beach beauty challenge is just the latest activity that the Miss World Philippines delegates have taken part in as they work their way toward the crown, which the Miss World Philippines organization has teased would be a new one.

This year's candidates were also recently presented to the press at Seda Manila Bay's Grand Ballroom.
