Candidates who have previously competed, like Aya Abesamis, Vickie Rushton, and Samantha Bernardo, are also enjoying strong support from fans.

Two reigning queens, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and Miss Intercontinental 2018 Karen Gallman, will be crowning queens who have a chance at back-to-back win for the Philippines. — AT, GMA News
