The release of the official headshots follows the national tilt’s press launch at the Makati Shangri-La, where candidates were officially introduced along with the regions they represent.
Following this event, international pageant publication Missosology shared its first set of hot picks, naming Bohol’s Tyra Goldman as an early favorite for the crown.
