A solid placing for Miss Philippines Blessa Figueroa in the Miss Asia Pacific International pageant.
The Philippine representative to the Miss Asia Pacific International pageant, Blessa Figueroa, ended her pageant journey as third runner up.
Aside from Blessa, the other delegates that were recognized during the pageant's coronation night held yesterday at the Newport Performing Arts Theater were first runner-up Karen Sofia Nuñez of Mexico, second runner-up Selena Ali of Belgium, and fourth runner-up Jennifer Prokop of Germany. The Miss Asia Pacific International crown went to Janelis Leyba of the United States.
In one of the more recent posts on its Instagram account, The Miss Philippines organization congratulated Blessa and said that she represented the country with flying colors.
Blessa is just the latest delegate from the Philippines to perform well in this year's international beauty pageants. Over the weekend, the country's representative to the 2024 Mister Global pageant, Dom Corilla, has won the crown.
Dom bested 31 other candidates and became the first-ever Mister Global titleholder from the Philippines. During the Top 11 Speech round, Dom raised Pinoy pride and impressed audiences with his speech on bayanihan.
“The Philippine culture that I want to exercise globally is bayanihan, which means one with your country, one with your community, and in simple terms, love your neighbor. Because if you start loving your neighbor, imagine the world peace that we can achieve, the conflicts and wars that we can prevent. If we apply this culturally all around the world, we can really make a difference,” he said.
Back in July, Mister Supranational Philippines Brandon Espiritu became the most successful delegate the country has sent to the Mister Supranational pageant after ending the pageant as second runner-up.

Both Brandon and Dom won the opportunity to represent the country at the Mister Supranational pageant and the Mister Global pageant respectively by taking part in the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide pageant held last year. Brandon won the pageant while Dom placed in the top six.
