The race is on for Miss Universe Philippines 2021 as it revealed the top 15 girls in the Headshot Challenge.

Actress Kirsten "Kisses" Delavin topped the Headshot Challenge for the MUP pre-pageant activity.

The MUP said that the first challenge will help determine the top 75 candidates who will advance to the competition.

There are 100 girls vying for the top 30 official candidates of the prestigious national pageant.

Other girls who finished in the top 15, in order of their ranks, are: 2) Rousane Marie Bernos; 3) Maureen Wroblewitz; 4) Steffi Rose Aberaturi; 5) Maria Corazon Abalon; 6) Katrina Dimaranan; 7) Leren Mae Bautista; 8) Gianne Asuncion; 9) Noelyn Campos; 10) Kamille Quinola; 11) Cheri Angel Flejoles; 12) Angela de Grano; 13) Jedidah Korinihona; 14) Mirjan Hipolito; and 15) Isabelle Delos Santos.

The MUPH said that only the votes from the MUPH App were counted. "Social media likes, reactions, and shares will have no bearing in the selection of the Top 75."

The next challenge for the girls will be the introduction video, in which the MUPH 2021 queens will officially introduce themselves to the Universe in a 1-minute video.

Voting for the second challenge will begin on Aug. 2 and will end on Aug. 6, 11:59 p.m., the MUP said.
