Miss Grand International Emma Tiglao will be joined by Nawat Itsaragrisil and Miss Grand International first runner-up Gotchabell Gotchapan.
Monday will be a busy day for Filipino pageant fans as current reigning Miss Grand International Emma Tiglao is set to be welcomed to the country with a homecoming parade.
In one of the more recent posts on its official Instagram account, the Miss Grand Philippines organization announced that a homecoming parade will be held for Emma at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati City this Monday, November 24, at 2 p.m. Emma will be joined by Miss Grand International president Nawat Itsaragrisil, 2025 Miss Grand International first runner-up Gotchabell Gotchapan, as well as “surprise queens”.
In the caption to the post, the organization called it as “more than a parade” but “a moment in history” that will be remembered for “years to come”. The organization also called on fans to “show the world the heart, unity, and grandeur of the Filipino spirit!”
Emma's homecoming was announced last week, with the Miss Grand Philippines organization sharing that Emma's homecoming celebrations will be held from November 24 to 28. In the caption to the post, the organization asked its followers to stay tuned to the organization's official social media accounts for the “full schedule of her homecoming activities, special appearances, and surprises.”
The homecoming parade is just the latest activity Emma's been involved with since winning the Miss Grand International crown. At the start of the month, she was with Miss Universe Thailand's Nawat Itsaragrisil and current reigning Miss Universe Victoria Theilvig welcoming the Miss Universe delegates arriving in Thailand.
Right after her win, Emma attended the FLYNOW Autumn/Winter 2025 collection fashion show during Bangkok International Fashion Week. Aside from pictures of her in a FLYNOW gown, Emma also shared photos of her with Miss Grand International president Nawat Itsaragrisil and 2025 Miss Grand International first runner-up Sarunrat Puagpipat.
Emma has also visited Chiang Mai's Wat Phra Singh, modeled traditional clothing, and attended the Miss Grand Lampang coronation night.

Emma has also had her official portrait as the 13th Miss Grand International revealed. Posted on the official Facebook page of the Miss Grand International organization, the portrait shows Emma wearing the crown and the eye-catching Rian Fernandez orange gown she wore for the coronation. In the caption to the post, the organization declared that Emma was the first ever back-to-back winner in the pageant's history.
Emma won the Miss Grand International crown with her response to a question about scammers.
"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," she said.
