Last January, it was reported that beauty and wellness guru, Cory Quirino, had given up the Miss World Philippines franchise. It was on the same day that Arnold Vegafria announced that he is the new franchise holder. So last July 7, 2017, the new Miss World Philippines Organization was formally launched through a media and press conference at the New World Makati Hotel.
In attendance were the new MWP Organization President Mr. Arnold Vegafria, MWP General Manager Bessie Besana, and former queens, Miss World 2013 & MWP Consultant for International Affairs Megan Young, Gwen Ruais, Queenie Rehman, Hillarie Parungao, and reigning Miss World Philippines 2016 Catriona Gray. The event was hosted by Kapuso star and 24 Oras Chika Minute correspondent Iya Villania.
Aside from the formal launching, the new MWPO also announced the important changes that will be observed in the pageant this coming September 3 at the Mall of Asia Arena. The Press Presentation of the official candidates will be on August 5. They will also incorporate the Fast Track events this year - Beach Beauty, Sports Challenge, Top Model Challenge through a brand fashion show which will be open to the public, Talent Competition through a charity gala, and a Charity Day in the organization's beneficiary, José Reyes Memorial Medical Center. Details regarding the Beauty With A Purpose will be revealed soon. Plus, the winner will get to wear a new crown co-designed by our very own Miss World 2013 Megan Young. The former queens also revealed that they will be hands-on as mentors in the journey in choosing who will join their ranks.
One major announcement in the press conference would be the addition of three new titles - Miss Eco International, Reina Hispanoamericana, and Miss Multinational, leaving two spots for the princesses (runners-up).

But of all the announcements, the most important one would be the revelation that the Miss World Organization offered the MWPO the hosting rights of the Miss World pageant in the Philippines on 2019.
Two major sponsors were also acknowledged - New World Makati Hotel as the official residence and BYS Cosmetics as the official cosmetics sponsor.
Deadline of submission for application is on July 22, 2017. So to all ladies aspiring to be a Filipina for the world, apply now!
