By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

For its second canvassing of People’s Choice Award votes on the Pina Beauty online poll, the Miss Universe Philippines organization announced five more names from the original five.

The leaderboard now has ten contenders, though this placement could be easily changed in the days and weeks leading to the coronation night.

Supporters are serious about this online poll because, should their favorite land in the final Top 3 placements, they get automatic placements in the quarterfinals.

The second most voted delegate advances to the Top 15, while the People’s Choice awardee gets an automatic placement in tbe final round. And, depending on her performance, she actually has a chance at the major crown or one of the Miss Philippines titles – Supranational, Eco International, Charm, and Cosmo.

For the second tally, the Top 10 leaderboard is comprised, in alphabetical order, of:

- Alexandra Krishna Oriño (Albay)

- Jensel Mansala Caña (Cavite)

- Clarissa Westram (Cotabato Province)

- Charieze Lianne Cacayorin (Ilocos Norte – representing the Filipino Society of Hawaii)

- Lyneree Montero Yodong (Mountain Province)

- Adela Mae Marshall (Muntinlupa)
