Hotel101-Manila to host 2026 Miss World Philippines and Mr. World Philippines candidates

Hotel101-Manila will welcome the 2026 candidates of Miss World Philippines and Mr. World Philippines as their official residence and venue for pre-pageant events. Hotel101 Group signed an agreement with ALV Pageant Circle, organizer of both pageants, solidifying their partnership earlier this week.

“Our partnership with the Miss World and Mr. World pageants is indicative of our shared mission to showcase the best of Filipino talents on the global stage,” says Hotel101 Group General Manager, Charley Magabo. “Hotel101-Manila is looking forward to providing comfort, convenience, and our signature brand of Filipino hospitality to the candidates.”

Each candidate will stay in the hotel’s signature HappyRoom complete with modern amenities. In addition, the hotel’s well-maintained facilities such as the swimming pool and restaurant, and its central location make it the ideal home for the candidates leading up to the event.

“The Miss World Philippines Organization is greatly excited to partner with Hotel101 as the official residence of Miss World Philippines and Mr. World Philippines for 2026,” says Arnold Vegafria, Owner and President of ALV Pageant Circle. “We look forward to many purposeful collaborations as we strive to live up to our Beauty With A Purpose advocacy, and as we align our visions for a mutually beneficial partnership that will extend beyond this pageant season.”

But more than the prestige and glam, the organization also continues to uphold its commitment to its purposeful charity advocacies, living up to its Beauty With A Purpose motto.
