Emma Tiglao is Miss Grand International 2025!

Emma Tiglao has made history after being crowned Miss Grand International 2025, securing a back-to-back win for the Philippines following CJ Opiaza.

The Filipina beauty queen bested candidates from around the world in the international pageant’s grand finale, where she impressed both judges and audiences with her confident performance.

In the Top 10 speech, she spoke out against corruption in the Philippines and other pressing issues.

During the evening gown competition, Emma stunned in an orange bejewelled dress which came with a matching feather cape by Rhian Fernandez.

As for the question and answer portion, the Top 5 was asked: "Scammers are an online threat, a form of warfare often tied to human trafficking that has global consequences. What penalties do you think could help dismantle these operations?"

Emma answered, “As someone who reports this kind of stories, I really want to use the power of balance—us people to be educated and aware for us to not be scammed and the help of the government to enhance their justice system for the scammers to be behind bars, to be accountable. 'Cause one day, I hope that we will live in a peaceful world where no one should deceive just to survive. Thank you.”

The other queens are:

• 1st Runner-Up - Thailand
• 2nd Runner-Up - Spain
• 3rd Runer-Up - Ghana
• 4th Runner-Up - Venezuela

Emma won the Miss Grand Philippines 2025 crown in August.
