20 Manileñas will compete for the crown as they prove that they are Women of Worth in this year’s edition of Miss Manila.
More than 50 beautiful women were screened to be part of this year’s edition, but only 20 candidates officially received their sashes from The Honorable Mayor of Manila, Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan and Mr. Charlie Dungo, the Director of Tourism Culture and Arts of Manila, last May 15, 2023 at the Bulwagang Villegas located in historic Manila City Hall.
Delegates are from Intramuros, Ugbo Tondo, Otis Pandacan, Zamora Pandacan, Sampaloc, Sta. Mesa, Don Bosco Tondo, Blumentritt, Malate, Punta Sta. Ana, Paco, Pureza Sta. Mesa, Maceda Sampaloc, Padre Faura, Pandacan, Roxas Boulevard, Sta. Cruz, Tayuman, Balut Tondo, and Baseco Port Area.
The battle for the prestigious title is not an easy path for the delegates since they will undergo various pre-pageant activities such as masterclasses in Pasarela under Rodgil Flores, founder of pageant camp Kagandahang Flores, Make Up with celebrity make-up artist Lala Flores, and masterclass in Question & Answer.
The grand coronation night will happen on June 23, 2023, 7PM at the Metropolitan Theater.
The prestigious local pageant will be hosted by Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, with special performance from Power Diva and proud Manileña, Angeline Quinto who sang the Miss Manila theme song.
Also performing in that evening are rapper Kritiko and Filipino violinist Jo Bry Cimafranca.
