Pampanga’s pride, Emma Tiglao, captured the Miss Grand International Philippines 2025 crown at the Mall of Asia on Sunday, Aug. 24.
Originally set for Aug. 12, the coronation had been pushed back due to last month’s typhoons—making Tiglao’s victory all the sweeter.
She received the crown from outgoing queen Christine Juliane “CJ” Opiaza, the very first Filipina to bag the international golden crown.
Tiglao sets her sights on Bangkok this October, where she’ll try to continue the Philippines’ winning streak at the 13th Miss Grand International tilt.

Other winners:
Beatriz Abalajon Mclelland (Aklan) – Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas
Nikki Buenafe (Quezon City) – Face of Beauty International Philippines
Anita Rose Gomez (Zambales) – Miss Asia Pacific International Philippines
Michelle Arceo (Taguig City) – Miss Tourism World Philippines
Margarette Briton of Bicolandia finished first runner-up, while Beatriz Angela Ocampo of Rizal placed second runner-up.
