PIPOL’s Face and Sexiest of the Year Batch 4 Final Five Announced
The month-long pursuit for seeking the country’s brightest stars and fresh faces of tomorrow finally concludes, and all roads lead to this. PIPOL mgZn and Village Pipol proudly close the fourth and final 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 Philippines who embody beauty, confidence, uniqueness, character, and influence, reflecting Pipol’s vision and the face of modern inspiration.
As the five-month search for nominees ends with the fourth quarter of the nomination period concluding, the Batch 4 Final Five joins the 15 finalists in each category from previous batches.
The Top 20 finalists are complete at last, and they will proceed to the Final Round Voting starting on January 14, 2026 and leading to the 7th VP Choice Awards.
Batch 4 Voting Results
From November 20 to December 15, 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.
