Filipinas looking to compete in international pageants need to act quickly as the final screening for the Miss Grand Philippines is closing in.
In one of the more recent posts on the Miss Grand Philippines account, the organization announced that the final screening for the pageant's applicants is on August 29, at Okada Manila. In the caption to the post, the organization promised that it would be a “grand spectacle filled with excitement and anticipation.”
Successful applicants will have the chance to succeed Miss Grand Philippines 2023 Nikki de Moura, who represented the country in the Miss Grand International pageant last year at the Phú Thọ Indoor Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The Miss Grand Philippines announced the opening for applicants last month on their official Instagram account. In the caption to the post, the organization challenged prospective applicants to become “the first Filipina to bring home the golden crown.”
The caption also included instructions on how to apply, which include submitting full body, swimsuit, and headshot photos.
Successful applicants will seek to perform better than Nikki, who received a warm welcome in Vietnam when she arrived wearing an Ao Dai, the country's national dress. Pageant fans and even Nikki herself were excited by her arrival, with Nikki writing in the caption that she was “ready for amazing adventures ahead.”
The Miss Grand Philippines organization also called on Filipino pageant fans to support her pageant journey by voting for her for best in Ao Dai. Nikki would eventually finish the pageant out of the top 20.
Nikki's fellow delegates during the 2023 Miss Grand Philippines pageant included Herlene Budol, who at the time had already placed first runner-up during the 2022 Binibining Pilipinas pageant.
