Fashion designer Bessie Besana, general manager of Miss World Philippines Organization (MWPO), says three more candidates will complete the final 40 girls who will join the pageant.

"Please wait for our official announcement," says Besana on a text message, when asked about the three remaining candidates. He did not say when the official announcement for the three remaining girls will be made.

Unconfirmed reports say that the three remaining girls will come from overseas Filipino communities.
