During yesterday afternoon’s episode of Pageantry Norms, Miss World Philippines Organization General Manager Arnold Mercado revealed a few juicy details about the pageant’s upcoming edition for 2021. And it only goes to show that the group is showing a more aggressive stance this year:
1) The live screening of Official Candidates will happen soon – either the last week of January or first week of February, give or take a few days or so after;
2) The organization has already penciled two (2) potential finals date – May 30 or June 6 – with the venue being a toss-up between Araneta Coliseum or Mall of Asia Arena;
3) From the originally-announced seven (7) titles at stake, an eighth will be added. This new international franchise will be announced within this month or next. Hence, the new set of winners to be photographed during the coronation will have eight titleholders and two runners-up all in one row. Ten in total.
4) Miss Philippines Tourism 2019 Glyssa Perez is likely to represent the country in the still-unannounced 8th franchise, owing to the fact that the dates of international competition might be scheduled before the 2021 national edition;
5) As much as possible, the finals will be a live production with 50% of the venue’s seating capacity to be filled up in compliance with health and safety protocols, and if updated government regulations will allow that to happen by late May or early June;
6) Two of the still-reigning titleholders – Kelley Day and Isabelle de Leon – are confirmed to have their international competitions happening months from now. Miss Eco International will take place in Egypt from March 18 to April 6, while Miss Multinational will be hosted in New Delhi from June 17-27. Fingers crossed that these two will stay put with the new dates;
7) Mr World Philippines will be conducted a la reality TV event on a weekly episode basis with potential candidates gunning for the titles and avoiding elimination during the process, up until the best of the best are selected to represent the country in Mr World, Mr Supranational and more.
I am also pleased to share that the organization (through Arnold Mercado) has invited your blogger – during the live broadcast yesterday – to be part of the screening committee for both Miss and Mr World Philippines.

dami dami korona kacheapan

mabuti pa sa pista isang korona lang tas runners up
Alaiza for Supra!
I think the organizer of this pageant is missing the point and reason why Miss World Org ended its contract with Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc in 2010. It wanted a stand alone pageant that will solely promote the brand and advocacy of Miss World in the Philippines. But now, it even has more crowns than BBP. It stages its local pageant so close to the date of international pageants giving the winners less time to train and prepare. Yes, the organizers may think that it’s giving more opportunities for the girls but it also has to consider the quality than the quantity. Our representatives need enough time to prepare and study the pageants they will be sent to. They also need to have ample time to rest for their physical and mental health.
oo nga…i heard stories of Wynwyn and Alyssa na kakapanalo palang nila, sabak na agad sa RHA. Kung sana daw may enough time, natuto pa sila ng spanish. Buti na lang well trained and prepared na si Wynwyn before pa sumali sa MWP.
@ Kim Jae-Kyu You know what country national org has a good non-MU portfolio? 🙂
Miss Nepal has World, International, Earth, and Supranational!
That’s why Nepal has good standing in Miss World these past years. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ll have their Miss World in the coming years. Soon, Indonesia and Thailand may also have theirs too.
Bat naman ang France and South Africa, nasa kanila ang Miss World and Miss Universe franchise OK naman si Mamang Julia
@ PAQUITA X The winners of both Nationals go to MW, not MU (which is secondary). Same din ‘yata with Russia? As a general rule, a Runner-up is sent to MU.
Possible din kaya na may politics?
Pero kung ako ang boss ng Multinational, considering my brand is but fifth in ALV’s hierarchy (with World, Eco-International, Eco-International Teen, Supranational, and RHA ahead of me), kakausapin ko na si Boss FY (Mutya) for 2022… I want Mdme. CQ’s classiness to rub off on me. If I may add, puwede’ng-puwede siguro si Noreen Victoria Mangawit for WTM, as successor to April May Short! 🙂
(Because if Boss ALV will merely use his pageant as an “artista search”, hindi maiiwasan’g may bias… Refer to your own comment below, po. And this Screening runs the risk of being little more than a recruitment blitz for fillers. Albeit fresh ones, as their Impressum goes…)
SMOGASBOARD, ANG PAGEANT NG MGA ARTISTA, KASI MGA ALAGA DIN NIYA ANG NANANALO. BUTI HINDI NA TU TURN-OFF SI LOLA JULIA DIYAN, NAKAKASIRA SA PAGEANT NIYA
if MW will feel that Supra will be given more importance and attention than their pageant, they might find another local franchise for MWP just like what they did with BPCI. It may happen as Supra is more exciting than MW. It keeps on getting better each year. Pageant fans are beginning to love it.
ang dami naman ng 8 crowns ha ha ha. koronahan nalang nila lahat ng candidates nila. ha ha ha
Tapos yung Top 10 may korona na agad paano kaya ang deliberation na magaganap may ranking ba or hierarchy yung mga crowns.
It is good to know that MWP Org has tentative schedule of events. I hope everything will push through.
Sana matuloy na ‘yang MPT tie-up with the DOT. That can be Cortesi! Imagine the July 2021-to-22 MWP calendar with her posing amidst GLORIOUS coastlines and falls of the country!
MoF also conducted their 2016* prelims a’ la TV show, with trips to John Robert Powers (Roshon Barmann was late) for training on runway, dinner etiquette, and power dressing for guys… Recent editions focused on making guys conscious on the importance of dermal care (sherep pala sina Bonjour, Tommy, at Yas tuwing nagri-ritwal sa bathroom). 🙂
Mr. Tinio, yaman rin lang at matutuloy na ang Ms. Eco this March, wouldn’t Dr. Rezk be open to kicking off the inaugural male counterpart para sabay na, parang Supra? Kahit sampu (10) lang muna, as a start. Sayang naman si Robin Hanrath. Unless fully served na contract niya…
I can SO imagine Perlyn Cayona, Carol Quiza, and Noreen Victoria Mangawit showing up again at the Screening! And Blogger will once again say “kilala ko kalahati ng mga nandito” (lolz). But their genuine sweetness will surely floor GPVL and will be perfect antidote to the fierceness of Jihane.
(* – My sentimental fave from that batch was a Pinoy beaut from Bulacan, played guitar. Had a cutey nerd appeal nicely harmonizing with his stocky torso. Yummy. Like the sweets in that province.)
… Ta’s, po, please ask MamaRu, shouldn’t it be Lakambini (NOT Mutya) & Lakan of San Pablo?
MAGANDA si Ms. Cocofest 2021, Floriane Lajara (#12)! Best in Swimwear, pa. Future MPE siya!
