Alexie Brooks of Iloilo City, Janet Hammond of Southern California, and Tamara Ocier of Tacloban, were named winners, each receiving a ₱100,000 cash prize.

[57] The results of the preliminary competition, held on May 19, 2024, at the Manila Hotel, which evaluated the 53 delegates in the swimsuit and evening gown categories and the closed-door interviews, determined the first 15 semifinalists for the edition.

[62][63] The voting public determined the winners of the pre-pageant challenges which each advanced a delegate to the semifinals, creating a total of 20 semifinalists, an increase of two from the previous edition.

The top five finalists then participated in the question and answer portion where Miss Universe Philippines 2024 and her runners-up were determined.
