Each week one contestant is eliminated based on her performance on the challenges presented on the show. Aside from weekly evaluations, the intensive training prepares the aspiring young models for the high-stress modeling world by teaching them to master fashion photo shoots and the and the ultimate runway catwalk.
The winner will bring home fabulous prizes: a modeling representation with Starz People(Modeling/Talent Agency) in Hong Kong, an editorial fashion spread in Preview magazine, 500,000 PHP($10,000) in cash courtesy of Mane and Tail Shampoo, 150,000PHP modeling contract with Saga Events, endorsement from L’Oreal Paris for their local campaigns for one year, complimentary treatments from Marie France and Facial Care Center for one year, and a south sea pearl necklace from Jewelmer plus the title "Jewelmer’s Pearl Ambassador to the World."

Format
The first Philippines' Next Top Model has selected fourteen contestants and may run to at least fourteen episodes or less, with the creation of twist and probable double-elimination.

Episode summaries
Episode One
PNTM started off by auditioning in Davao held by model Wilma Doesnt, in Cebu held by fashion director Robby Carmona and in Manila held by Wilma Doesnt, Robby Carmona and top model Lisa Manakil. 3,300 contestants tried out.
The 27 girls who are the semi-finals flown into Hotel Intercontinental, Makati. The girls takes their first challenge, as they meet Ruffa Guttierez for the first time. While on the final screening they faced the first jury in panel of Robbie Carmona, Wilma Dosent, and Ruffa Guttierez who test them in a runway challenge and questioned on why they should be the Philippines' Next top Model. Finally the contestants for this season was narrowed down to 14 girls by the judges, and moved to their fashioned models pad. The girls have given the chance to choose their own room and bed for the entire long run, unfortunately Elf and Jen failed to get one for themselves because there are only 12 bed in the house but it doesn't mean they're eliminated at that moment it was just a fair challenge to them.
The next day the girls got to meet a special visitor to give them a Brazillian wax, but most of the girls felt it was too painful. Then they had their first photo shoot, a bikini shoot at Avenida, Rizal Avenue - Manila. The photoshoot was conducted with the help of Xander Angeles, a renowned photographer in the Philippines, the girls were also mentored by the help of Joey Mead. At the panel, the judges felt that both Kae and Marjorie both failed to give and exert an effort during the photoshoot.
The judges criticized Kae for not having a personality in her photo, while Marjorie has been noted for her performance that is poorly done and she lacks of personality, reasons why both of them have been eliminated in the competition.
