The Big Four, plus two — and possibly more. There are a lot of beauty pageants out there, and while we try to cover them all as they happen, this post zooms in on the Filipinas crowned domestically to carry the Philippine sash into this year’s major international pageants.

We start with the four that make up our Big Four: Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss World, and Miss Earth. Then we add two more — the fast-rising Miss Grand International (via the new Reina Filipinas pipeline) and the recently concluded Miss Supranational — to make it a list of six.

One title is already decided; five are still to be settled between now and November, and two of the host organizations haven’t locked their exact dates yet. Here’s where each stands, in the order their competitions fall on the calendar.

We’ll update this post as we spotlight more Filipina queens in the months ahead. Help us decide who deserves the spotlight next — comment below with which pageant queens you want us to cover.

Maria Katrina Llegado — Miss Supranational 2026 (Already Won)

The one crown already decided. Llegado won Miss Supranational 2026 in Poland on Aug. 1 — the Philippines’ first win in the pageant in thirteen years, and only its second ever, after three prior cycles of near-misses that included a second runner-up finish at Miss Universe Philippines in 2022. She beat a genuinely stacked Top 5 that included a former Miss France titleholder, on an unscripted Q&A round with no rehearsal time. One crown down, five to go.

Asia Rose Simpson — Miss World Philippines 2026 (Sept. 5, Vietnam)

Simpson competes at Miss World 2026 on Sept. 5 in Ho Chi Minh City, the pageant’s 73rd edition and its first time hosted in Vietnam. She’s ElysPlanet’s own reigning Miss World bet and one of two Filipina-identifying candidates this cycle to face public scrutiny over what “Filipino enough” actually means for a delegate — a conversation that’s followed her since her February coronation and will likely follow her onto the Ho Chi Minh City stage regardless of how she places.

Angelica Lopez — Reina Filipinas Grand International 2026 (October, India — exact date TBD)

Lopez heads to Miss Grand International 2026 sometime in October, in India — the host country and month are confirmed, but neither Miss Grand International nor Reina Filipinas, the newly launched franchise that crowned her in August, has announced the exact finals date yet. She’s carrying real weight into it: the Philippines has won this specific pageant back-to-back for the first time in its history, and Lopez, a Palawan pageant veteran already through one unplaced finish at Miss International in 2024, is trying to make it three. There’s a quieter thread here too — Lopez and Katrina Anne Johnson, who closes out this list, were direct rivals at Binibining Pilipinas 2023, where Lopez won the International crown and Johnson finished first runner-up. Three years later, both are representing the Philippines on different international stages in the same season.

Rina Andrea delos Santos — Miss Philippines Earth 2026 (Miss Earth 2026 — date and venue TBD)

Delos Santos is bound for Miss Earth 2026, though as of this writing the organization running it hasn’t announced a date or host venue — the same open question that was still unresolved when she won the Philippine crown in June. Since then, she’s drawn scrutiny for what she hasn’t said as much as anything pageant-adjacent — including a homecoming tour through flood-hit Cagayan, her home province, that made no mention of the flooding happening around her at the time.

Bea Millan-Windorski — Miss Universe Philippines 2026 (Nov. 24, Puerto Rico)

Millan-Windorski competes at Miss Universe 2026 on Nov. 24 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, chasing what would be the Philippines’ fifth Miss Universe crown and the first since Catriona Gray’s win in 2018. ElysPlanet’s full profile on her covers the case for taking her seriously beyond the pageant-circuit framing — a record built on flood-control corruption protests and environmental advocacy work that predates her crown by months.

Katrina Anne Johnson — Miss International Philippines 2026 (Nov. 25, Tokyo)

Johnson closes out the calendar at Miss International 2026 on Nov. 25 in Tokyo, one day after Millan-Windorski competes in Puerto Rico. A licensed clinical pharmacist from Davao and the first Dabawenya to win the Binibining Pilipinas International crown, Johnson placed first runner-up at Binibining Pilipinas in 2023 before winning outright in 2025 — the same year she crowned her own successor, Gwendoline Soriano, this past July. ElysPlanet’s full profile on Johnson covers the two-year path from first runner-up to titleholder, and the pharmacist’s precision she’s brought to both the crown and her thirteen rescue dogs.

What the Calendar Actually Says

This is the Philippines’ regular annual slate, not an outlier year — the country fields a bet at all six of these pageants most cycles. What’s worth tracking is simply how this particular class does against it: one win already banked, and five more results still open, spread across four countries and roughly sixteen weeks. Two of those five still don’t have a confirmed date to build toward.
