Emma Tiglao is one step away from back-to-back glory for the Philippines after she advanced to the Top 5 of the Miss Grand International 2025 pageant held in Bangkok, Thailand on Saturday, Oct. 18.
Joining Tiglao in the Top 5 are the candidates from Ghana, Venezuela, Thailand, and Spain.
Before the announcement, the delegates exuded elegance as they graced the stage in their evening gowns. Tiglao stunned in a golden orange ensemble made dramatic with voluminous feathers.
Mexico bagged the Best in Evening gown award.
The finalists earlier shared their views on peace and violence while Michael Jackson’s ‘Heal the World’ played in the background.
In her spiel, Tiglao highlighted the corruption in the Philippines amid succeeding earthquakes that continue to hit different parts of the country.
By the end of the night, reigning titleholder CJ Opiaza will crown her successor, marking the end of her historic reign as the Philippines’ first Miss Grand International winner
