A profile from Philippines
Crowned Miss Grand International 2025 on 18 October 2025 in Bangkok — a back-to-back win for the Philippines. Worked professionally as a model in Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, China, South Korea and Japan before pageantry, and is a brand ambassador for skincare label Hikari Skin Essentials.
Rising is the unnumbered editorial watchlist. A profile moves into the Global 100 only after current runway, campaign, editorial and cultural evidence demonstrates sustained attention. Selection is never for sale.
