Tourism & Advocacy Video Voting Results

Voting was open to anyone with a Google account. Each account could cast one vote for Miss and one vote for Mister per day, and the daily count reset at midnight, Manila time.

That limit was enforced by the database itself rather than by the browser, so it was unaffected by clearing cookies, using a private window, switching browsers, or using another device. The account was the ballot.

Voting ran until the phase capacity of 25,000 total votes was reached, counting Miss and Mister together. That capacity was reached on August 7, 2026 at 3:53 PM, ahead of the August 10 deadline.

We reviewed every vote record in the database, including the timestamp, the voting account, the originating network, and the device signature.

The review covered duplicate accounts, irregular timing intervals, disposable email addresses, single-use accounts, and the concentration of votes on individual networks.

The complete integrity figures for the full round.

Vote timing was reviewed second by second, because automated voting leaves a distinctive signature: large numbers of votes landing in the same instant, from very few sources.

The busiest single second of the entire round carried three votes, and the busiest single minute carried forty-four. Of the 24,083 seconds in which any vote was cast, only 883 carried more than one vote. The overall pace averaged about one vote every 23 seconds.

Participation was strongest at the opening and eased as the round neared its cap. The busiest day was the first, August 1, with 5,687 votes, or 22.7 percent of the entire round, averaging 145.8 votes per candidate. That opening day was spread across 2,061 networks and 4,705 accounts, with no single network accounting for more than about two percent of it.

The records show many accounts voting from the same network addresses. This is expected in the Philippines and is not treated as irregular.

Mobile data providers place large numbers of subscribers behind a single shared address, and a school, office, internet shop, or household typically shares one connection among many users. Restricting shared connections would block genuine voters in large numbers, so the system is designed to allow them.

A per-network daily ceiling is nevertheless in place, so that no single connection can dominate the count.

All 17 Miss candidates, final count. Switch between the overall totals and the day-by-day detail, where each day shows the votes, the networks they came from, and the device split.

All 22 Mister candidates, final count. Switch between the overall totals and the day-by-day detail, where each day shows the votes, the networks they came from, and the device split.

All 25,000 votes recorded passed verification. Every account that cast a vote was a separately verified Google account, and no duplicate votes were recorded across the entire round.

The second-by-second timing shows no sign of automated voting, and participation was widely distributed across networks and accounts rather than concentrated in a few.

The safeguards performed as designed, and the final standings reflect participation exactly as recorded.
