The Press Presentation was also attended by the reigning Miss World Philippines Catriona Gray.

Recently, Miss World 2013 Megan Young shared some pointers with the MWP 2017 candidates about how they should present themselves on social media, and what to expect in the coming weeks after the victory.

The finals of Miss World Philippines 2017 will be held on 3rd September 2017 with a slightly delayed telecast over GMA-7. The first edition of this pageant was held in 2011, it was previously held by Binibining Pilipinas. Julia Morley (owner of the Miss World Org), who personally awarded the franchise to Cory Quirino in Manila, said that she has no intention to offend Stella Araneta, the head of the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. Her goal was to focus more on the organization’s vision, which is to raise fund for their beneficiaries.
