IV. MECHANICS

Each ticket is equivalent to 10 votes, amounting to 100 pesos each. The tickets will be issued during the opening ceremony of the midyear convention. Deadline for submission of ticket returns would be on July 26, 2019 at 12NOON SHARP!! to the PPA secretaries. The winners will be based on the highest number of tickets sold/endorsed to a candidate. This is a “fast-track” category, and candidates (male and female) with the highest number of tickets sold will automatically advance to the finals.
  • Facebook Likes – Each candidate will have official pageant photos that will be uploaded on the Facebook Fan Page of PPA. Candidates are enjoined to share their official pageant photos to gather “likes” from their friends, colleagues and supporters. The winners of this category will be based on the highest number of total likes of all the photos of each candidate. This is a minor award, but candidates (male and female) with the highest number of likes will automatically become the Mister and Miss Photogenic.
  • Best in Production Number – in this category, winners will be based on their performance during the production number. This is a minor award, and has no bearing on the total preliminary judging score.
