MANILA, Philippines — The competition started with 50, then down to 30, trimmed in half to 15, and now just seven candidates are left.

Miss Universe Philippines 2026 entered the final stage of its coronation evening, May 2, as seven delegates impressed judges and fans to qualify from the Evening Gown competition and immediately into the Question and Answer segment.

Host Marina Summers announced the following names to a cheering Mall of Asia Arena:

• Bea Millan-Windorski (La Union)
• Apriel Smith (Cebu City)
• Marian Arellano (Tarlac)
• Bella Ysmael (Taguig)
• Nicole Borromeo (Cebu Province)
• Allyson Hetland (Pampanga)
• Jenrose Javier (Sultan Kudarat) - Piña Beauty winner

One of these seven remaining contestants will come out of the Question and Answer segment victorious and become Ahtisa Manalo's successor as Miss Universe Philippines 2026.

The winner will go on to represent the Philippines in Puerto Rico later this year for the diamond edition of Miss Universe.
