Angelica Lopez finishes at Top 25 of Miss Grand International 2026
Angelica Lopez has bowed out of the Miss Grand International 2026 pageant.
The Philippine bet fell short in making it to the Top 11 and ended her stint with a Top 25 finish during the coronation night held on Saturday in Bangkok, Thailand.
Here are the Top 11 finalists:
- Thailand - Patthama Jitsawat
- Venezuela - Lady Di Mosquera
- Netherlands - Beau Megan Goos
- Tanzania - Jihan Mohin Dimachk
- Mexico - Pety Juarez
- Vietnam - Emoura Pham
- Ecuador - Shyare Andrade
- Guatemala - Ximena Carrillo
- Cuba - Alyanni Gomez
- Côte d’Ivoire - Marlène Kany Kouassi (Best in Swimsuit)
- Puerto Rico - Vicky Carbonel
Angelica arrived in Thailand early in September for Miss Grand International 2026, aiming to secure a third consecutive crown for the Philippines, following CJ Opiaza's and Emma Tiglao's back-to-back victories.
Despite her early exit, the beauty queen from Palawan gave an impressive performance and won the Best National Costume, inspired by the mangkukulam, a figure associated with witchcraft in Philippine folklore.
She also sizzled the runway in her green bikini during the swimsuit round.
Angelica advocated for positive peace during the competition. —JCB, GMA News
