For the safety of the candidates and guests, gala events for the candidates have been scrapped during the 10-day stint at the popular hotel, with most of the activities focused on rehearsals, photo and video shoots, and pre-pageant events. Wearing face masks and face shields, the candidates blew kisses to photographers as they checked-in at the hotel. Tickets to competitions have also been sold out with limited audience.
