The Miss Universe Philippines organization is all set to host the coronation ceremony for Miss Universe Philippines 2021 on 25th September 2021. After a series of virtual challenges, the organization has announced the top 75 delegates, shortlisted out of the 100 official candidates, who have moved a step closer to winning the coveted crown.
Pangasinan’s Maureen Wroblewitz recently emerged as the top spot for the Miss Universe Philippines 2021 casting challenge. For the challenge, the representatives had to appear in a casting video wearing a plain white shirt and minimal make-up to show off their natural features from all angles. They had to answer a simple question, "What makes them happy?", to which Maureen stated that her cats and ice cream make her happy.
Along with Maureen, the organization also announced the names of the top 15 delegates who dominated the Casting Video Challenge. The list of the top 15 delegates was determined by fan votes cast through the Miss Universe Philippines app. Without further ado, let’s look at the finalists who dominated the casting video challenge:

After the announcement of Maureen acquiring the top spot in the casting video challenge, she took to her social media to share her happiness. She wrote, "We’re number 1. Thank you to everyone who voted for me and thanks you to my team! These past few days have been full of blessings! Being back in Pangasinan, my mom’s home, I’ve felt her presence even more. I know that she is watching over me, over us and she is extremely proud of all of us! All our failures and all our achievements. This is for you Mom. "
The organization had previously held challenges, including runway, headshot, and a video introduction. The Miss Universe Philippines organization is all set to announce the top 50 delegates who will be moving forward in the competition and appear for an in-person interview. Then the list will be narrowed down to the top 30, after which the candidates will compete for the national crown. The winner will represent the Philippines at Miss Universe 2021 in Israel.
