The Miss Grand Philippines 2024 is approaching its final stage as the national pageant announced the five candidates who advanced to the question-and-answer portion.
After the swimsuit, evening gown, and speech to promote peace, here are the candidates who were announced as the Top 5 on the early morning of Monday, Sept. 30, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay City:
- CJ Opiaza (Castillejos, Zambales)
- Sophia Bianca Santos (Pampanga)
- Jubilee Therese Acosta (Manila)
- Anna Margaret Mercado (Quirino)

The candidates showed grace under pressure at the question-and-answer portion after taking on topics of the West Philippine Sea and whether women are better peacemakers than men, among other topics.
One of the candidates will be chosen as the winner of the Miss Grand Philippines 2024 and the country’s representative to the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant in Bangkok, Thailand on October 25.
