PIPOL Faces and Sexiest of 2026 Unveils Batch 1 Nominees

The search for the PIPOL Faces and Sexiest of 2026 officially began on October 5, as public and agency nominations opened across its platforms. Following the nomination period, the PIPOL and VP editorial teams reviewed the submissions and selected the first batch of official nominees.

Now in its second year, the annual search forms part of the 8th VP Choice Awards, in partnership with Village Pipol and produced by RED Entertainment. Building on the success of its debut, PIPOL Faces and Sexiest continues to recognize personalities whose beauty, character, confidence, and influence resonate with the PIPOL and leave a meaningful mark throughout the year.

MONTHLY ROUNDS AND VOTE BOOSTS

This year’s search features three monthly voting rounds, with 15 nominees in each category per round. The Top 6 from each category will advance to the final voting stage in January 2027.

Additionally, nominees who top their respective monthly voting rounds will receive an 8% Vote Boost on their final vote count. This incentive gives monthly frontrunners an added advantage as they compete for the final round on January 2027.
