The All Stars finals night was previously scheduled on Jan. 25 and was moved to Feb. 13, but was again postponed due to the extended New Year holiday period, which have caused delays in visa processing.
MGI previously announced that the pageant activities will take place from May 16 to 30 in Bangkok and Damnoen Saduak, Thailand. The beauty queens will take part in a talent competition, runway challenge, portrait challenge, and preliminary swimsuit, evening gown, and bare face competition.
The grand final is set for May 30 at the MGI Hall.
The winner will be awarded the All Stars crown along with a hefty prize money valued between $100,000 (P5.9 million) and $1 million (P59.2 million).
