ELYSPLANET said this piece was coming when Jacob Kier Gomez’s own Mister Fitness Supermodel World 2026 results went up: Stephanie Ann Elmission, the Philippines’ representative in the pageant’s companion women’s division, finished fourth runner-up. Here’s her run.

Miss Fitness Supermodel World 2026 crowned its winner September 19 at Quang truong Lam Vien in Da Lat, Vietnam, the same night Jacob Kier Gomez closed out the men’s division as second runner-up. Japan’s Chika Mizuno took the Miss title outright. Stephanie Ann Elmission, the Philippines’ representative, finished fourth runner-up and was separately named Miss People’s Choice, decided by online voting rather than the judges’ panel.

A Podium That Keeps Sliding

Elmission’s finish caps a four-year run for the Philippines in this division. Kristel Galang placed second runner-up at the pageant’s 2023 debut in Phan Thiet. Kirsten Dawn Delerio won the title outright in 2024 at the pageant’s Vung Tau edition, becoming the first Asian and the first Filipina to do so. Princess Juliane Opiaza kept the run going with a first-runner-up finish in 2025, in Quy Nhon. Elmission’s fourth-runner-up finish keeps the streak alive, technically — four straight podium results — but each year has landed one spot lower than the last, counting down from an actual win.

What Got Her There

The finals result wasn’t a blind draw. In the preliminary rounds in Mui Ne, Phan Thiet, before the finalists ever reached Da Lat, Elmission placed first runner-up in Best Fitness Star, one of the pageant’s specialty awards that judges physique and athletic conditioning separately from the main competition score, and first runner-up in the Sportswear category as well. In the national costume segment, she performed the Singkil, a traditional Filipino dance usually staged weaving between clashing bamboo poles, in a costume designed by Filipino designer Simeon Cayetano.

From Dasol to Da Lat

Elmission’s route to Vietnam ran through two Philippine pageants first. She won Miss Dasol Asin Festival 2026 in her hometown of Dasol, Pangasinan, a coastal town whose annual town fiesta takes its name from the local salt industry (asin is Filipino for salt). That win carried her to Miss Pearl of the Orient Philippines 2026, where she represented Dasol and placed seventh among 22 candidates from across the country. There’s no separate national pageant for the Fitness Supermodel World title itself — organizers Misters of Filipinas and Miss Pearl of the Orient Philippines appointed her Miss Fitness Supermodel World Philippines 2026 afterward, and that appointment is what sent her to Da Lat.

Gomez finished second runner-up in the men’s division. Elmission finished fourth runner-up and took Miss People’s Choice in the women’s. Season 4 closes with the Philippines on both podiums and a fan-favorite title in hand.
