MANILA, Philippines — The public has so much power in determining the winners of The Miss Philippines Culture and Heritage Celebration and the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide competition that half of the scores will come from their votes.
The two searches have opened their web voting on Oct. 15 through announcements posted on social media. “Your vote matters as 50 percent of the total scores will be from audience votes. Tap the Star button on Choicely to show your support for your favorite delegate,” the organizers said when they called for votes.

The results of the public votes will be announced during the back-to-back final shows of the two searches at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on Oct. 24. The winners will be proclaimed as ambassadors of Filipino culture and heritage.
The Miss Philippines and Mister Pilipinas Worldwide competitions are headlining the first-ever “The Filipino Festival,” a month-long celebration of Philippine culture and heritage, through “The Filipino Food and Products Fest,” “The Filipino Music Fest,” “The Filipino Fashion Fest,” and “The Filipino Film Fest.”
Web voting for the music and fashion fests are also now open on https://tfffashionvote.coicely.com/ and https://tffmusicfest.choicely.com/, respectively. Votes will be accepted until 12 noon of Oct. 24, and the winners will be announced during the final shows of The Miss Philippines and Mister Pilipinas Worldwide.
Twenty-one ladies are competing in The Miss Philippines, while 17 gentlemen are participating in Mister Pilipinas Worldwide. Both searches are presented by Kemans, with their finals shows serving as culminating events of The Filipino Festival.
Aside from earning the right to represent the Philippines in prestigious international competitions, the winners of the two searches will also each receive their own Wuling electric mini vehicle and custom-made trophy designed by Jef Albea. Miss Supranational first runner-up Pauline Amelinckx and Mister Pilipinas Supranational Johannes Rissler will relinquish their national titles to the winners.
Miss Universe Philippines titleholders Rabiya Mateo and Beatrice Luigi Gomez will host The Miss Philippines final show with Miss Charm first runner-up Annabelle McDonnell, while former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate Andre Brouillette will handle the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide program.
Reigning Miss Supranational Andrea Aguilera from Ecuador and Mister International Kim Goodburn from Thailand are also expected to make an appearance, while Thai actor Nattawat Jirochtikul will stage his Philippine comeback during the twin events. “Diwata” and “Dalisay” hitmaker Sam Concepcion will open the evening with his new single “Otomatika.” Gigi De Lana and her band The Gigi Vibes will also perform.
