The candidates were welcomed at Manila City Hall, where they had the opportunity to meet the mayor and learn more about the city's ongoing programs and initiatives.

Miss Manila is one of the highlight events of this year's Araw ng Maynila festivities. The coronation night is scheduled on June 26 at the historic Metropolitan Theater, where the next queen will be crowned.

The winner of Miss Manila 2026 will earn the right to represent the Philippine capital in the Miss Universe Philippines pageant. She will also receive an exclusive contract under GMA Sparkle, opening doors to opportunities in the fields of pageantry, entertainment, and media.

Meanwhile, the candidates also participated in the Miss Manila 2026 Heritage Tour, which brought them to some of the city's most iconic cultural and historical landmarks, including Intramuros, Escolta, and Binondo.

The activity aimed to deepen the candidates' appreciation of Manila's rich history, culture, and heritage while introducing them to the stories and traditions that shaped the country's capital.

Organizers said the heritage tour forms part of the pageant's commitment to producing ambassadors who not only embody beauty and confidence but also possess a strong understanding of Manila's identity and legacy.

The public is encouraged to watch the coronation night and witness the crowning of the next Miss Manila, who will carry the pride and honor of the City of Manila on the national stage.
