The Miss World Philippines delegates have to put in the work to win the crown.
The Miss World Philippines coronation night is happening on July 19, just a little over two weeks from now, and the 2024 delegates are currently proving themselves in the preliminary competitions leading up to it.
In one of the more recent posts on the Miss World Philippines Instagram account, the organization announced that they would be holding the pageant's head-to-head challenge today at the Grand Westside Hotel in Parañaque.
In the caption to the post, the organization said that the head-to-head competition gives the candidates the opportunity to “showcase their speaking and presentation skills, along with their intelligence and quick thinking”.
The head-to-head competition is just one of the challenges the Miss World Philippines delegates take on as they compete for their crown. Just a couple of days ago, the organization announced the top 10 finalists of the Beauty With A Purpose competition.
This year's 10 finalists are Miss Cavite Dia Maté, Miss Pangasinan Nikki Buenafe, Miss Batangas Bianca Tapia, Miss Kapitolyo, Pasig City Riana Agatha Pangindian, Miss Malaybalay, Bukidnon Dolly Cruz, Miss Zamboanga del Sur Krishia Mendoza, Miss Quezon Province Andrea Endicio, Miss Quezon City Christine Chagas, Miss Tarlac Province Jasmine Omay, Miss Bicol Region Isabelle Bilasano.
The organization has also announced the 12 finalists for its beach beauty competition, which also includes some of the finalists for the Beauty With A Purpose competition.
The finalists are Miss Kapitolyo, Pasig City Riana Agatha Pangindian, Miss Manila Gabrielle Lantzer, Miss Baguio City Krishnah Marie Gravidez, Miss Pampanga Sophia Bianca Santos, Miss Bicol Region Isabelle Bilasano, Miss Tarlac Province Jasmine Omay, Miss Cavite Dia Maté, Miss Pangasinan Nikki Buenafe, Miss Cebu Sofi Maxim Margareta Grenmo, Miss Batangas Bianca Tapia, and Miss Iloilo City Arrieana Beron.
Miss Baguio City Krishnah Marie Gravidez, Miss Cavite Dia Maté, and Miss Batangas Bianca Tapia are both finalists in the Beauty With A Purpose challenge and the beach beauty challenge. The trio are all Miss Universe Philippines alumna, with Krishnah even giving up her Miss Charm Philippines to compete in the pageant.
The final winners of these challenges get to secure a spot in the pageant's coronation night at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
The coronation night hosts are The Voice Generations coach Billy Crawford and Universal Woman 2024 Maria Gigante.
This year's candidates were also recently presented to the press at SEDA Manila Bay's Grand Ballroom.
