From 20 semifinalists, the field will be further trimmed in half, and only 10 ladies will proceed to the next round, which also include the delegate who will top the “Miss Popular” paid poll online. Tiglao is ranked 10th in the latest tally.
The final round will see the five leading ladies competing for the crown via a question round. The five other ladies who will not advance will all be proclaimed fifth runners-up.
