Who will Inherit the crown?

Anastacia Concepcion locked up 62.6% of all 2,786 votes on the strength of women: 1,092 of her 1,737 supporters were female, a 63% share. Compare that to her closest challenger, Rhea Marie Grandea, whose 241 votes split 53% male — and Rerei Hirashima, the early leader, whose small base ran 55% male. The frontrunner and the chasing pack weren't just separated by scale, they were different crowds.

The race itself was decided almost immediately: Rerei topped day 1, but Anastacia overtook her by day 2 at 51% and never dipped below it again. From there the margin crept up in inches — 52% by day 4, 56% by day 9, 63% by the finish — 18 days of a modest, steady climb rather than a fight.
