𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤-𝐭𝐨-𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐨𝐤, 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝— The stage burned gold as Emma Mary Tiglao rose like a phoenix, claiming the Miss Grand International 2025 crown and sealing a historic back-to-back victory for the Philippines — a first in
our pageant’s glittering history. Carrying her ever-iconic introduction and her signature poise, Tiglao radiated both elegance and conviction as she graced the grand stage. From her mesmerizing walk to her commanding presence, Tiglao reigned with grace and grit, earning the Country’s Power of the Year and the first call in the Top 20, setting the tone for a night that would belong to her.

Behind the glamour was a woman who fought battles far beyond the runway. Despite the lack of support and silent doubts, she stood firm in her promise — “Ilalaban ko ’to.” And indeed, she did — with the strength of million Filipinos who lifted her spirit higher than any crown could. Her performance was not merely a showcase of beauty; it was a symphony of passion, intellect, and poise — a perfect blend of fire and purpose that captivated both the stage and the world.

A journalist with a heart for truth, Tiglao used her final answer to speak for the voiceless, saying, “I really want to use the power of balance... for us to be educated and aware... because one day, I hope that we will live in a peaceful world where no one should deceive just to survive.”

In that moment, her voice transcended the crown — echoing a message of justice, integrity, and hope. She proved that a queen’s true reign begins not when she wears the crown, but when she uses it to enlighten others. As the golden confetti rained down in Bangkok, Emma Mary Tiglao didn’t just win a title. She ignited a movement — a call to be brave, to be aware, to be kind. Her victory was a mirror of the Filipino spirit: resilient in defeat, radiant in triumph.

And in the golden pages of pageant history, she will forever be remembered as the iconic Emma Mary Tiglao — a queen of beauty, purpose, and power.
