Filipino pageant fans can look forward to supporting their bets to represent the country at the Miss Grand International pageant as the Miss Grand Philippines organization is set to hold a press presentation today.
In one of the more recent posts on the Miss Grand Philippines Instagram account, the organization said they would be holding a press presentation at 2 p.m. today, September 23. The presentation will be held at Fashion Interiors by Paul Cornelissen and streamed on the Miss Grand Philippines' official YouTube channel.
The press presentation comes close to a month after the Miss Grand Philippines organization staged its final screening () for the pageant's applicants. It was held at the Okada Manila and described by the organizers as a “grand spectacle filled with excitement and anticipation.”
Applicants who will be announced at the press presentation will have the chance to succeed Miss Grand Philippines 2023 Nikki de Moura, who represented the country in the Miss Grand International pageant last year at the Phú Thọ Indoor Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The Miss Grand Philippines announced the opening for applicants in July on their official Instagram account. In the caption to the post, the organization challenged prospective applicants to become “the first Filipina to bring home the golden crown.”
The caption also included instructions on how to apply, which include submitting full body, swimsuit, and headshot photos.
During her run in the pageant, Nikki received a warm welcome in Vietnam when she arrived wearing an Ao Dai, the country's national dress. Pageant fans and even Nikki herself were excited by her arrival, with Nikki writing in the caption that she was “ready for amazing adventures ahead.”
Nikki's fellow delegates during the 2023 Miss Grand Philippines pageant included Herlene Budol, who at the time had already placed first runner-up during the 2022 Binibining Pilipinas pageant.
