Naiuwi ni Emma Tiglao ang korona sa katatapos lamang na Miss Grand International 2025.
Ito ang ikalawang korona ng Pilipinas sa naturang beauty pageant kasunod ng Miss Grand International 2024 title ni CJ Opiaza.
Pinahanga ng Filipina beauty queen ang judges at manonood hindi lang sa kanyang ganda kung 'di maging sa pangmalakasan at confident niyang performances, at sa kanyang puso at talino na naramdaman sa kanyang speech at sagot sa grand finale ng international pageant.
Sa kanyang Top 10 speech, ipinarating ni Emma Tiglao ang nararamdaman tungkol sa nangyayaring korapsiyon at kalamidad sa Pilipinas.
"As a journalist, my heart aches for my country drowned by corruption, for the lives lost to earthquakes and typhoons, and for journalists like Mariam Abu Daga from Gaza, who died for truth.
"We are not born in fear but to hope, to love, and to live in peace. Peace begins when parents teach children with compassion, leaders embody humility, youth find their purpose. And when we live with empathy and kindness, let love be the grandest voice to peace."
Sa kanya namang sagot sa Top 5 Q&A portion, sinabi niya na dapat na panagutin ang mga scammer sa pamamagitan ng pagkakabilanggo.
"As someone who reports these kinds of stories, I really want to use the power of balance--us people to be educated and aware, for us to not be scammed, and the help of the government to enhance their justice system for the scammers to be behind bars, to be accountable. 'Cause one day, I hope that we will live in a peaceful world where no one should deceive just to survive."
Sa kanyang final look, suot ni Emma Tiglao ang fiery burnt orange gown na likha ni Rian Fernandez.
Samantala, itinanghal na 1st runner up si Sarunrat Puagpipat ng Thailand, 2nd runner up si Aitana Carolina Jimenez ng Spain, 3rd runner up si Faith Maria Porter ng Ghana, at 4th runner up si Nariman Battikha ng Venezuela.
