The program started with a Doxology followed by the Philippine National Anthem sung by the Hyehwadong choir.
The candidates danced the Sinulog, a dance ritual in honor of the miraculous image of the Sto. Nino as their production number.
The candidates then introduced themselves to the audience.

For the evening dress competition, the male contestants wore the Barong Tagalog, while the women wore the Filipiniana. There was a question and answer period, where questions ranged from the ordinary, "Why do you think you deserve the title of Ginoo or Binibining Kalinagang Pilipino?", to the more difficult," What can migrants who are far away from their families do to maintain fidelity to their spouses and families?"
