After having successfully staged the very first Mr. World pageant in Manila recently, it’s time for the ladies to shine in the Miss World Philippines finals tonight at the Araneta Coliseum.

Among the 40 candidates are an award-winning actress, singer and composer, a model-actress from a major network, an accomplished model-actress who is the daughter of an international pageant titleholder, two former Miss World 2017 aspirants, a flight attendant, a lawyer, and sisters of former beauty queens.

Miss World Philippines National Director Arnold Vegafria said, “This year’s batch is brimming with potential winners. I won’t be surprised if we surpass our track record from previous years.”

More titles are up for grabs this year. In addition to Reina Hispanoamericana, Miss Eco International and Miss Multinational, are Miss Eco Teen International and Miss Philippines Tourism.

The Miss World Philippines 2019 pageant will be telecast live on GMA-7’s “Sunday Night Box Office” (SNBO) on Sept. 15 at 10 p.m.
