The rankings are based on the total accumulated points that each country's contestants earned in the five top pageants over the past year. Per the Missosology website, the points that made Vietnam come in 20th were earned by Nam Em, who was listed among the top eight finalists at Miss Earth 2016 and Kha Trang, who won 'Best National Costume' at Miss Supranational 2016, along with points calculated from other Vietnamese contestants at Miss World, Miss Universe and Miss International. The Philippines was honoured with the Big 5 Performer of the Year title, earning the accolade for the fourth time in the past five years.
