About the sash, if there are more than 1 candidate come from the same city or province, the sash with their name on it will make sense, so they don't have to attach a number for distinction. I'm against the regional pageants idea, that is unfair when we have many beautiful girls, but they can't compete in national pageant because the local pageant judges don't pick them. We should not limit our options because we are a powerhouse, unlike other countries. We want the candidates to be remembered by their name, not by their region names, whatever region they are from, they are Filipinos after all. The winner will present the Philippines, not their region, all the girls should have a fair chance to compete.
Picking the Top 10 just based on the Top 20 opening statement alone is unfair, what is the need of doing that when we all know they will prepare and memorize everything beforehand. Instead, they all should compete in swimsuit and then cut down to 10 for evening gown after that they can give a statement, the judges will pick the final 5 based on how well the candidates performed in all 3 rounds, that will be more fair. We need to find a good speaker to get the crown, but don't forget that girl will not enter Top 5 to show her speaking skill without a beautiful face.
We adapt the international format and make the changes to improve it, make it better for us, not to copy anything that unnecessary.
