Miss World Philippines 2026 could be Valerie Pawid West, Marizza Delgado or Lorraine Ojimba

Krishnah Gravidez represented Baguio City, Philippines at Miss World Philippines 2024 and competed against 32 other candidates at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines. She won the title.

Runner-up to Gravidez was Jasmine Omay of Tarlac. The second runner-up was Sophia Bianca Santos of Pampanga.

Miss World Philippines 2026 predictions

On February 3, 2026, Gravidez will crown her successor at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. It is the 13th edition of the national beauty pageant that selects the Miss World candidate of the Philippines.

This edition will also crown three other queens. The second, third and fourth placers will represent the Philippines at Miss Global 2026, Miss Tourism International 2026 and Universal Woman 2026, respectively.

Competing for the four crowns are 24 women, who were officially sashed on January 16, 2026 at the Okada Manila in Parañaque, Metro Manila. If I were the sole judge, these would be my Top 10 candidates:

1. Lorraine Ojimba, 27, Rizal
2. Marizza Delgado, 26, New York, United States’ Filipino community
3. Valerie Claire Pawid West, 22, Ifugao
4. Anna Carres “Anne” de Mesa, 26, Manila
5. Jayvee Lyn Lorejo, 24, Davao Region
6. Asia Rose Simpson, 18, Quezon City
7. Margarethe Elize Romano, United Kingdom’s Filipino community
8. Zoe Sofia Gabon, 24, Naga
9. Imani Ja’Asia Quiban Smith, Hawaii, United States’ Filipino community
10. Nicole Kristine “Nikki” Malabuyoc Lorzano, 22, Batangas

Regardless of my personal preferences, I believe these 10 candidates will make it to the top:
