Emma Tiglao of Pampanga was named Miss Grand Philippines 2025 at the pageant’s grand finale Sunday night at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
The 29-year-old beauty queen, who previously represented the Philippines at Miss Intercontinental 2019, received the crown from reigning Miss Grand International CJ Opiaza. Tiglao also won the Best in Swimsuit award earlier in the evening.
In the final Q&A, she was asked how she would sell peace to world leaders if it were packaged as a product. Tiglao stressed the importance of “constant dialogue” over “quantity of time,” saying this would help reduce divisions in politics, power, and property.
Tiglao will compete at Miss Grand International 2025 in Bangkok this October as the Philippines aims for its second crown in the global pageant.
The evening also named other titleholders who will represent the country abroad: Margarette Briton of Bicolandia (1st Runner-Up), Beatriz Angela Ocampo of Rizal Province (2nd Runner-Up), Nikki Buenafe of Quezon City (Face of Beauty International 2025), Michelle Arceo of Taguig City (Miss Tourism World Philippines 2025), Beatriz Mclelland of Aklan (Reina Hispanoamericana 2026), and Anita Rose of Zambales (Miss Asia Pacific International 2025).
