The aspiring beauty queens went through a rigorous screening process. The ladies had to walk the runaway in their long gowns and swimsuits and prove that they could speak their minds in the question and answer portion.
"Every batch is refreshing and exciting because all of them are just unique. They have different personalities, different outlooks, but all of them have one goal and that is to win the crown of Miss World 2014 Philippines and eventually to be Miss World." Quirino said.
Last year, the Philippines reached a significant milestone when Miss 
Megan Young became the first Filipina to be crowned Miss World.
Driven by its advocacy, “Beauty with a Purpose”, Miss World Philippines believes that there is beauty in giving. As a shining example of the heart and soul of Filipina womanhood, the winner along with her court will put beauty to good use by caring for the marginalized women and children of the Philippines through various charities.
The Miss World 2014 Philippines Pageant will be held on October 12 at The Mall of Asia Arena and viewed nationwide in GMA Network’s Sunday Night Box Office. Viewers all over the world may catch it through GMA Pinoy TV.
