Krishnah Gravidez aims for Philippines' second Miss World title

May 15 ------ The Miss World 2025 competition is now in full swing in India, with Krishnah Gravidez proudly representing the Philippines. The 24-year-old beauty queen aims to secure the country's long-sought second Miss World crown, 12 years after Megan Young became the first Filipina to win the title in 2013. 

On May 5, 2025, Krishnah attended a send-off party where she spoke about her preparations for the international pageant. Rather than feeling nervous, she was brimming with confidence, fueled by the overwhelming love and support from everyone present at the party.  

"I feel like it's not nervousness," she told the press when asked about her feelings. "When I stepped into this [room], I just felt the strong support. "And most especially the love of the people who's been with me all throughout. Of course, the pageant media as well." Krishnah added: "I have to be honest that I didn't expect, like, this huge support from everyone. "Because all throughout my preparations, we've been quietly working together with my team. And now that we're here, we're stepping out of that core team. "I felt the love. And I felt like it was shown as nervousness because I was shivering. "But then again, it's just the love that I think that I can bring to India that will propel us in getting that Miss World crown." 

Krishnah dedicated nearly 10 months of preparation for the pageant after winning the local pageant in July 2024. And she is grateful for the support of her team in the Miss World Philippines Organization, who have been instrumental in her journey. She said: "The preparation was great. I'm on top of everything. "We've made sure that each fast-track challenge, each aspect of the preparation, is finalized. "And I'm really grateful for the team that I have right now. They've been helping me a lot in terms of my styling, my communication skills training.
