MANILA, Philippines – The public has so much power in deciding the winners of The Miss Philippines Culture and Heritage Celebration and the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide contest that half of the scores will come from their votes.
The two searches opened their web voting on October 15 via social media announcements. “Your vote is important as 50 percent of the total scores come from public votes. Tap the star button on Choicely to show your support for your favorite delegate,” the organizers said when they asked for votes.
The link to the voting platform for The Miss Philippines is https://missphilippines.choicely.com/, while the link for Mister Pilipinas Worldwide is https://mpw.choicely.com/. Both portals are powered by Choicely.

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 October 24. The winners will be declared ambassadors of Philippine culture and heritage.
The Miss Philippines and Mister Pilipinas Worldwide competitions will headline the first-ever ‘The Filipino Festival’, a month-long celebration of Filipino culture and heritage, through ‘The Filipino Food and Products Fest’, ‘The Filipino Music Fest’, “The Filipino Fashion Fest,” and “The Philippine Film Fest.”
Web voting for the music and fashion festivals is now also possible at https://tfffashionvote.coicely.com/ and https://tffmusicfest.choicely.com/ respectively. Voting is open until noon on October 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 men are competing in Mister Pilipinas Worldwide. Both quests are presented by Kemans, with their final shows serving as culminating events of The Filipino Festival.
In addition to the right to represent the Philippines in prestigious international competitions, the winners of the two quests will also each receive their own Wuling electric mini-vehicle and a 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 final show of Miss Philippines with Miss Charm first runner-up Annabelle McDonnell, while former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate Andre Brouillette will host the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide program to nurse.
Reigning Miss Supranational Andrea Aguilera of Ecuador and Mister International Kim Goodburn of Thailand are also expected to make appearances, while Thai actor Nattawat Jirochtikul will stage his Philippine comeback at the two events. “Diwata” and “Dalisay” hitmaker Sam Concepcion opens the evening with his new single “Otomatika.” Gigi De Lana and her band The Gigi Vibes will also perform.
