IN PHOTOS: Miss World Philippines 2018 Beach Beauty Competition

PALAWAN, Philippines – It was a week of bringing out their inner beach babes for the 40 candidates of Miss World Philippines 2018.

The women flew to El Nido, Palawan, where they enjoyed a fun day of island hopping, speaking to local officials about sustainable tourism, and of course, participating in the main event: the pageant’s Beach Beauty Competition. (WATCH: Miss World Philippines 2018 candidates explore El Nido)

The competition was hosted by Miss World Philippines 2017 Laura Lehmann, and Mr World 2013 first runner-up Andrew Wolff. The candidates were scored by a roster of judges that included Miss Eco-International 2018 Cynthia Thomalla.

The ladies showed off their best beach looks in two segments: resort wear and beach wear. The resort wear segment featured a considerable amount of airy fabrics, bright colors, headwraps, and gigantic hats as the candidates walked the runway in outfits they styled themselves.
