The competition for the Miss World Philippines crown is getting heated as the organization recently announced the finalists for tis beach beauty challenge.
The Miss World Philippines organization named the 12 finalists of their beach beauty challenge in one of the more recent posts on their Instagram account. In the caption to the post, the organization said that the winner of this challenge will earn an automatic spot in the July 19, 8 p.m. coronation night at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

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.
The winner of this year's Miss World Philippines pageant will take over from current reigning Miss World Philippines Gwendolyne Fourniol, who finished in the Miss World pageant outside of the Top 40. After her participation, Gwendolyne shared her gratitude for the support sent her way after her Miss World performance.
“My eyes are swelling with tears trying to hold it all in so the world can see a brave woman who gave her all,” she wrote. “But like any human being, I think it is normal to admit that it is okay to be vulnerable, it is okay to be hurt, it is okay to be in shock and question myself and my capabilities.”
