Miss Grand Philippines (MGPH) is accepting applicants for the upcoming 2023 pageant, where female applicants aged between 18 to 28 years old are open to join.
The pageant, whose license is now under ALV Pageant Circle under talent manager Arnold Vegafria, made the announcement on its official Facebook page on Saturday, March 18.
“The grandest pageant is about to unfold. ALV Pageant Circle proudly presents the 2023 Miss Grand Philippines. Join us as we embark on our journey in search of our queen who will rise up to the challenge and raise our flag,” the post read.
The MGPH pageant is open to female candidates who are Filipino citizens and should be at least 5’4 in height. They should also have never been married or pregnant, according to the pageant’s qualifications.
Aspirants are also requested to submit an accomplished application form, as well as one full body, swimsuit, and headshot photos at [email protected]. The deadline for the application period is yet to be announced, as of this writing.
The coronation night will reportedly be held at the Mall of Asia Arena in March, according to ALV Pageant Circle chair Arnold Vegafria, although additional details have yet to be disclosed. The titleholder will then represent the Philippines in the Miss Grand International pageant, in hopes of succeeding the title from Isabella Menin of Brazil.
MGPH’s license was under the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. from 2016 to 2022, where Miss Grand Philippines 2022 current titleholder Roberta Tamondong was the final winner under the organization. It was then transferred to Vegafria in late 2022.
One of the pageant’s expected entrants include Binibining Pilipinas 2022 first runner-up Herlene Budol, who confirmed that she will be joining MGPH during an interview with Boy Abunda in February of this year. EDV
