The pageant director Kevin Pison Piamonte quoted, “The pageant is definitely going to be something to look forward to. Indi kami kahambal subong kon ano matabu sa pageant but we promise, it is going to be big. It is not going to be your usual pageant. Production-wise, it is going to be way up there.”

After the pageant, Piamonte said the judges will deliberate and will announce the following day who will represent Iloilo City to the Miss Universe-Philippines, Binibining Pilipinas, and Miss World-Philippines.

The Miss Iloilo 2022 was held with a very limited number of participants and audience due to the covid-19 protocols. Those who were on the ground were only the production crew, the candidates and the judges. Miss Iloilo 2023, thus, will be a grand affair.
