Background

Qualification for international pageants

The Miss Philippines 2023 will determine the Philippines' representatives for three international pageants: Miss Supranational, Miss Charm, and Miss Asia Pacific International.[6]

The pageant is also meant to select the representative to Miss Charm. With Krishnah Marie Gravidez of Baguio already appointed as Miss Charm Philippines shortly after the conclusion of Miss Universe Philippines 2023,[7] the 2023 pageant will select the representative for Miss Charm 2025.[8]

The representatives will be selected among the top four placers.[9]

Hosts and performers

Beatrice Luigi Gomez and Annabelle McDonnell duo as presenters for Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2023 final event while Rabiya Mateo and André Brouillette hosted The Miss Philippines 2023 segment in the last hours of the festival.[10]

The Gigi Vibes led by Gigi de Lana did the opener performing covers of songs by Michael Jackson.[5][11] Thai actor Fourth Nattawat and Josh Cullen of SB19 also did their own performance in-between the pageant's segments.[5][12]

Format

The coronation night would not feature the tradition swimsuit competition portion. A Runway Segment featuring the contestants in formal wear will be featured as well as a portion were candidates would make speeches related to Filipino culture and heritage in a way similar to that done on TED Talks.[8][13]

An online poll was also opened with the results accounting for 50 percent of the contestants' final score.[14]

The program for The Miss Philippines 2023 started after the conclusion of the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2023 men's pageant. A video of the 21 contestants in white dress introducing themselves was displayed. Five special awards named after the program's sponsors were then conferred.[5]

The contestants then walked the runway wearing red short dresses by Mikee Andrei. The top ten candidates, along those who did not make the shortlist, would then be announced who would showcase their own custom-made evening gowns.[5]

Four were selected among the ten. The top four candidates would engage in a TED Talks-style speech with the prompt "What to you is the true identity of a Filipino, and how do you intend to promote it to the world?". Alethea Ambrosio from Bulacan was named the pageant winner after this portion and was crowned by appointed titleholder Pauline Amelinckx.[5]

Contestants

21 contestants competed for the title.[15][16] The entrants underwent a screening process. They had to be from 18 and 32 years old.[17] The pageant was also open to women who are married and/or have children.[18]
