In another post, Samantha posted a video of herself walking with several other Miss Grand International contestants for the pageant's preliminary swimsuit competition. Samantha had earlier wowed with her walk during the pageant's swimsuit competition.

Two days ago, Samantha showed off an impressive butterfly national costume designed by Louis Pangilinan and Santino Rivera. In a short clip, Samantha is shown in front of the Miss Grand International audience before the lights dim for a moment and the huge butterfly wings light up.
