A series of procedures was done in order that the judges will have a clear picture who are deserving to be selected to the finals. The first step that the contestant will go through is the casual category, here are the images:
The next category will be the guy's favorite, the swimsuit portion. All I can say, this will be the most challenging part on all the procedures of a pageant, not the question and answer.
And of course, the last portion will be the question and answer segment. Here the judges will determine if the the contestant is worth to be in the finals and worth of the crown.
After reviewing and evaluating the details that the judges needed, they already announced who will be made to the finals; the Official Delegates who made it to the final cut are Marielle Montaña of San Francisco, Quezon, Josephine Kayas of QC, Shanon Tampon of Quezon City, Kristine Eiriel Nolasco of Meycauayan City, Joselle Mariano of Cavite, Castele Ann Tolentino of Pasig City, Nina Nesah Balgos of QC, Jovelyn Mateo of QC, Paola Bianca Bagaforo of Makati City, Katrina Marie Redshaw of Fil-New Zealand, Meggan Shinaw of Georgia, USA, Digna Diaz of Nueva Ecija, Kristie Rose Sequena of Laguna, Ariana Matnog of QC, Merryco Ramirez of Caloocan City, Jamela Esteban of Caloocan City, Sara Margaret Joson of QC, Jenny Rose Ignacio of Albay, Honey Rose Nicerio of Batasan Hills and Ruth Linganay of Manila.
