Miss Universe Philippines Organization started with an initial list of 100 delegates. It trimmed down the roster through a series of challenges to determine who will move further into the competition. The organization then announced the pageant’s Final 30 last Sept. 2.
The Miss Universe Philippines coronation ceremony will be held on Sept. 25. Current titleholder Mateo will be passing on her crown to one of the candidates who made it to the competition’s final roster.
