The truncated edition of the national search started with the presentation of 19 delegates on Monday, Sept. 23. The day after, an additional candidate was announced, bringing the total roster to 20 aspirants.

The eventual winner will have only a few days before flying to Thailand for the 2024 Miss Grand International pageant, as the global tilt’s delegates are expected to arrive on Oct. 3. The global tilt’s finale will be held on Oct. 25 in Bangkok.

Another national title is at stake in the national competition, the Universal Woman Philippines, that has a more inclusive set of qualifications, in line with the international pageant’s mechanics, allowing participants who have been married or have borne children, and are between 25 and 45 years old.

Last February, the Philippines sent national pageant veteran Maria Gigante as the country’s first representative in the Universal Woman competition. She won the title, becoming the global tilt’s second queen.

Gigante will be on hand to crown the next Universal Woman Philippines, who will be tasked to post a second consecutive win for the Philippines. Nikki de Moura will relinquish her Miss Grand Philippines title to her successor, who will try to become the first Filipino woman to clinch the “golden crown” in Thailand.
