The Miss Universe Philippines (MUPh) organization announced the Top 3 winners in the fashion and runway challenge. The said challenge was done in collaboration with Bragais Shoes and Arte Partylist.

Reigning Miss Universe Baguio City Ghenesis Latugat bested 49 fabulous entries and was named the overall winner. Garbed in an Igorot-inspired ensemble, Ghen sashayed atop the city's underpass and breezed through the 'lengthy' walkway with flying colors.

Cebu City rep Chantal Schmidt pulled the stops in downtown Cebu. While traversing the traffic in Colon Street, the half-German Cebuana beauty donned the malong-inspired dress with a frilled collar created by Axel Que.

Palawan's pride Angelica Lopez proved that she can sizzle, both on dry land and on water. She first alighted from a stationary plane, walked down a literal runway - after removing a frilled train - sashayed down the highway beside a running jeepney, rode a motorized banca then continued walking on the shoreline in an ethnic printed bodysuit. It was really a fashion marathon!

With the interview challenge still up ahead, two delegates already ended their MUPh journeys. Davao City's Myrell Martinez and Mariveles, Bataan's Seychelle Phoebe Jaochico already bowed down from from the competition. Both candidates already posted their farewell messages on social media.

The Top 48 candidates will be further whittled down to the Final 30 when the last of the challenges will have been completed and culminated.

The Miss Universe Philippines coronation night is slated to happen on April 30, 2022 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Stay tuned!
