This round is closed

The Mister & Miss Photogenic online voting has ended, and the results are final. Every candidate's vote count is published in the Online Voting Integrity Report.

The rest of this page explains how that round worked, kept for reference.

Voting closed July 21, 2026. The final counts are published.

How to vote

1. Open the official Vote page from the link we share.

2. Tap Continue with Google and pick your Google account. That signs you in instantly, there is no 6-digit code to wait for.

3. Once signed in, cast your vote by tapping the Vote button under your chosen one (1) male delegate and one (1) female delegate.

4. Your vote is counted. Come back tomorrow to vote again.

Note: email code verification is temporarily paused because some providers were delaying our codes. Signing in with Google is faster and more reliable. We will bring the email option back once delivery is fully restored.

Your daily voting limit

Each Google account is entitled to one (1) vote for a male delegate per day and one (1) vote for a female delegate per day. Your Google email is your ballot.

Your voting limit automatically resets every 12:00 AM (Philippine time), which lets you vote again the next day.

Voting is completely free.

When voting closed

This round was scheduled to run until August 22, 2026, with a total capacity of 25,000 votes, whichever came first.

It reached the 25,000-vote capacity first, on July 21, 2026, and closed then. The video round that follows has its own separate window and its own fresh count.

Keeping it fair

Your Google account is the gate, so one person cannot pretend to be many. Here is what some might try, and why it will not work:

What some might tryWhy it will not work
Voting many times from one accountOne Google account gets only one male and one female vote per day. That is the limit.
Clicking vote quickly many timesThe daily limit is enforced by our database, so fast or repeated clicks still count as one.
Making many throwaway accountsEvery vote requires a real Google sign-in, which is far harder to mass-produce than typed email addresses.
Voting again right after midnightThe reset simply gives everyone one fresh vote per day. It does not let one account vote twice in the same day.

In short

This round used Google sign-in, one Miss and one Mister vote a day, resetting at midnight, free. It closed on July 21, 2026 at its 25,000-vote capacity, and the final counts are published in the Online Voting Integrity Report.
