On April 5, EmpirePH uploaded a 53-minute video of the preliminary evening gown competition, which was filmed behind closed doors at the City of Dreams, Parañaque City, on March 29. In the video, you’ll see your favorite delegates grace the stage in sequined, crystallized, or bold long gowns that emphasize their beauty and elegance.
Following this year’s major format change, the public will play a significant role in determining which candidate will move on to the semifinals.
To vote for your favorite delegate and help them secure a spot in the semifinals, all you have to do is to download the Maya app. After downloading the app, you can sign up and upgrade your account.
From then on, you can vote every day. For the evening gown competition, you can vote from April 5 to April 11.
Pageant fans have so much to look forward to before the coronation night! The swimsuit competition video will be uploaded on April 12 (with a voting period from April 12 until April 18), while the Closed-Door interview will be released on April 19 (with a voting period from April 19 to April 25).
The coronation night is set for May 2026.
