Note : The placement percentage is computed as number of times that Philippines had placed over the number of times the country had sent a candidate. The years that candidate/s were not sent (1960-61) or candidates withdrew from the pageant (1958 - 59) were not included in computation. As of 2015, Philippines had sent 60 candidates to the pageant and placed 20 times. We produced Three Winners, Two 1st RUs, Five 3rd RUs, Two 4th RUs & Eight Semifinalists. What I mean by Bb. is a maiden Filipina not the local pageant.
