Emma Tiglao shines at Miss Grand Int’l welcome ceremony, pre-pageant affairs

October 6 ------ Emma Tiglao was in her glamorous, polished, and over-the-top best, as she shone at the welcome ceremony, press conference, and other pre-pageant activities ahead of the Miss Grand International 2025 tilt. Tiglao, who is on a quest to score a back-to-back win for the Philippines, pulled all the stops to ensure that she is among the standout candidates in this year’s edition of the global tilt.

During the welcome ceremony, the pageant veteran was a stunner in an off-shoulder gown with cut-outs on the waist by Chico Estiva, decked in dripping gemstones from the neckline to the hem. She also delivered her signature melodious introduction, a switch from the usual high-pitched way of saying the country’s name. She then changed into a jewel-toned traditional Chut Thai with a gold wrap-like top, a lilac midi skirt, and a hot pink waist belt decorated with gems and traditional ornaments. The pièce de résistance was her golden Miss Grand Philippines crown, which glowed with every strut.

Tiglao was also pretty in pink in an asymmetrical blush dress with a floor-length train by Kannah Designs and gold strappy heels after the welcome ceremony. Tiglao seems to have a love for the color pink, as she showed up in a jewel-toned pink hue to cap off her fifth day at the global tilt. The pink Anthony Ramirez number featured long sleeves, a low neckline, and a silk finish, with a long jeweled necklace bringing the look together. Tiglao showed off her curves in a bright red lace mini dress at the pageant’s talent competition, where she displayed her dance skills.

“I am so happy I was able to show my love for dancing on the Miss Grand International stage during the Grand Talent Audition. Congratulations to us girls, we did it! And to my Grand sisters who made it to the Top 15 for Grand Talent, cheering for you all!” she captioned her post. The Pampanga-based beauty queen is eyeing to win the Philippines’ second Miss Grand International crown from the reigning titleholder, CJ Opiaza. The global tilt is scheduled to take place at the MGI Hall in Bangkok, Thailand, on Oct
