MANILA, Philippines — The Miss Universe Philippines organization shared an update to its Pina Beauty online poll for the 2026 pageant's People's Choice Award which will determine the automatic placements of the top three delegates in the leaderboard.
The three candidates with the most votes go straight to the quarterfinal round: the second placer advances automatically to the Top 15 while the top delegate, as People’s Choice awardee, gains a spot in the Top 7 during the final round.
Voting continues until coronation night, up until the online portal is closed.
As of its April 8 canvassing, the leaderboard is comprised, in order, of:
- Lyneree Montero Yodong (Mountain Province)
- Charieze Lianne Cacayorin (Ilocos Norte)
- Clarissa Westram (Cotabato Province)
- Jayka Noelle Munsayac (San Jose, Negros Oriental)
- Alicia Chelsea Buendia (Rizal Province)
- Jenrose Javier (Sultan Kudarat)
- Neil Silva (Occidental Mindoro)
The People's Choice Award is a competitor's surest way for a placement – from the quarterfinals, to the semifinals, and onto the final round.
Catch the exciting Miss Universe Philippines 2026 finale at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on May 2. Stay tuned!
