After the disappointing non-placement at the Miss Universe 2022, the Philippines is now back at the drawing board and hopes for a spectacular comeback. The Miss Universe Philippines Organization has released the list of 40 finalists which includes several pageant veterans, a single mom and two current titleholders. There are three titles at stake in this year’s pageant the most coveted of which will allow the lucky winner to represent the Philippines at Miss Universe 2023 which will be held in El Salvador later this year. The two other crowns at stakes were not officially announced but some suspect they could be the Miss Supranational Philippines and Miss Charm Philippines titles.
