Heritage, Worn as Art: The Miss Fit Philippines 2026 Preliminaries
National costume, swimsuit and special awards: one night at Bigger Pictures in Mandaluyong, and a panel ready to choose.
Twenty-one candidates, eight judges, one crown: coronation night at SM Skydome ended with Laguna on top.

The last name of the night belonged to Santa Rosa, Laguna. Kailey Rose Kemp was crowned Miss Fit Philippines 2026 on October 27 at SM Skydome, SM North EDSA, Quezon City, receiving the crown from Miss Fit Philippines 2025 Maria Katrina Calica.
She leads a court of four: Erika Cassandra Ballon of Pasig City, 1st Runner-Up; Franchezca Mae Pacheco of Valenzuela City, 2nd Runner-Up; Rogelyn Lorica of La Union, 3rd Runner-Up; and Christina Maria Schott of Baclayon, Bohol, 4th Runner-Up.
Twenty-one official candidates walked onto the stage, and an eight-member panel watched every step. An opening production set the pace. Then came the rounds that test a fitness pageant: swimsuit, the evening gowns, and a second swimsuit round in front of a beach backdrop, before the 2025 queens took their final walk.
In the question-and-answer round, the Top Five all faced the same question: what is the one key lesson your Miss Fit journey taught you? Their answers kept returning to the same ideas: perseverance, discipline in body and mind, and fitness that works for you rather than for a single standard.
With the runners-up named, two finalists were left holding hands at center stage. Then the host made the call: “And your Miss Fit Philippines 2026 is… Santa Rosa, Laguna!”
Kemp’s reign comes with a prize package the host put at ₱1.5 million in total.
