Emma Tiglao spends birthday on the plane


Emma Tiglao on her birthday: “Even up in the clouds, my heart felt so full.”

As the reigning Miss Grand International, Emma Tiglao has a very busy and hectic schedule that requires her to travel to different places.

So for her 31st birthday last December 8, Emma shared online that she spent her special day on an airplane.

Still, our Pinay queen was overflowing with gratitude that fans and netizens remembered her birthday and greeted her.

“Saan ka nag-celebrate ng birthday mo? Mostly sa airport and sa plane po. ✈️

“And even up in the clouds, my heart felt so full,” Emma posted on Facebook.

The beauty queen continued, “Reading all your birthday wishes and messages made my day even more special.

“Thank you for making me feel loved, remembered, and celebrated ❤️

“Maraming salamat, from the bottom of my heart.”

Emma made history this year, when she was crowned as Miss Grand International, after succeeding fellow Filipina queen CJ Opiaza.
