Asia Rose Simpson's homecoming set for Sept. 9
Asia Rose Simpson is coming home tonight!
On social media, the Miss World Philippines organization announced that the Filipina beauty queen is set to return to the Philippines on Wednesday evening after her stint at the Miss World 2026 pageant in Vietnam last week.
Asia Rose is set to arrive at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 at 7:30 p.m.
“From Vietnam back to the Philippines, Asia Rose Simpson returns home carrying more than memories—she brings with her a journey filled with courage, purpose, and pride,” the organization wrote.
“You made us believe. You made us proud. And now, it’s our turn to welcome you home,” it added.
Asia Rose finished her Miss World 2026 journey in the Top 12, with Joheirry Mola Dominguez of the Dominican Republic taking home the coveted blue crown.
Despite falling short of the crown, Asia Rose made an impressive performance at the pageant, where she won the Head to Head Challenge.
She also made it to the Top 3 of the pageant's talent competition.
During the Top 12 question-and-answer portion, Asia highlighted unity as the Filipino value she wants to share with the world as she represents Asia at Miss World 2026.
