The show opens with the Parade of National Costumes, and each candidate will take her turn onstage, showing off her impressive creativity in each costume design.  This will be followed by the Talent Competition, in which five of the top performers will showcase their skills before a live audience.  The final segment of competition is the Swimsuit Competition, which never fails to draw the loudest cheers and is the most nerve-wracking part of the process for most of the ladies.   Voting for Binibining Photogenic and the Top Runway Model award will also be conducted simultaneously by the panel of judges.  

The evening’s finale is the Bikini Runway Fashion Show, which gives the candidates an opportunity to model swimsuit fashions provided by the pageant’s Official Swimsuit Sponsor, Betsey Johnson by Malibu Design Group.
