BANGKOK, Thailand — The Philippines’ Emma Mary Tiglao continues to shine on the international stage as she officially advanced to the Top 22 of Miss Grand International 2025, following her win as this year’s Country’s Power of the Year awardee.

The announcement was made during the pageant’s grand finals night held at the MGI Hall in Bangkok. Tiglao’s win in the Country’s Power of the Year category automatically earned her a spot in the Top 22, making her the first delegate to secure a placement.
