PIPOL’s Face and Sexiest of the Year Batch 3 Final Five Announced

PIPOL MGZN and Village Pipol conclude the third batch of the search for nominees for the two new titles serving as the flagship award of the forthcoming VP Choice Awards: Face of the Year and Sexiest of the Year

This recognition honors a roster of promising and outstanding male and female public figures in the country who embody beauty, confidence, uniqueness, character, and influence, reflecting Pipol’s vision and the face of modern inspiration. 

As the month-long search nears its culmination with the third quarter of nominations concluding, the Batch 3 Final Five joins the ten finalists in each category from the previous batches. 

Once the voting period ends, the Top 20 finalists will proceed to the final voting in January 2026, leading the 7th VP Choice Awards. 

Batch 3 Voting Results 

From October 15 to November 10, the fans cast their votes for nominees of Face of the Year Male and Female (Teen & Adult), and Sexiest Male and Female of the Year. 

This time around, the voice of the Pi-Poll also goes beyond the competition and extends to a greater cause. The last three days of the voting period, starting November 7, were crucial as a portion of the proceeds from the votes will be donated to support relief efforts for communities deeply affected by Typhoon Tino

With this, the fans determine which nominees will rise to the top and secure a spot in the Top 20. Finally, the Batch 3 Final Five emerged.
