  • Miss Cetaphil Sun – Pauline Amelinckx, Bohol
  • Miss Photogenic – Tracy Maureen Perez, Cebu City
  • Most Beautiful Face Award – Pauline Amelinckx, Bohol

The MUP finale will air online and on GMA 7 this Sunday 9am live.

The inaugural pageant follows the end of Miss Philippines' partnership with Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc., after 50 years with the foundation. MUP led by Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup-Lee then took over the franchise.
