“It is something I wanted to share to the international community on stage but I share it today instead, and do so while happy and content,” Hannah said.

Calling her Miss International journey “absolutely unforgettable,” Hannah said she “will truly be returning home with a grateful heart, a camera roll full of irreplaceable memories, many new sisters and mamas from around the world and the realisation that we truly can achieve anything.”

“Philippines[,] it was an honour to wear you across my heart, for the past 2 years. I am proud to be Filipino. Mahal ko kayo,” she added. “For the last time[,] I am Hannah Consencino Arnold[,] your Binibining Pilipinas International 2021, and Miss International 2022 top 15 finalist."
