Get To Know Miss Grand Philippines 2025
Tiglao is no stranger to the world of pageantry. In 2014, she joined Binibining Pilipinas and was among the Top 15 finalists. A year later, she joined Miss World Philippines and was crowned Fourth Princess.
In 2018, she won Miss Intercontinental and represented the country in Miss Intercontinental 2019. In the international competition, she finished among the Top 20 Semifinalists and got awards like Miss Popularity and Miss May Care.
Apart from being a beauty queen, she is also a broadcast journalist and TV host. She was an anchor at NET25 and appeared in the network’s flagship newscast Mata Ng Agila. In 2022, she announced her departure from pageantry for a leap of faith in her career. With this leap of faith, she was among the nominees for Best Morning Show Host at the 2025 PMPC Star Awards for Television.
Meanwhile, during the Q&A portion of Miss Grand Philippines 2025, the question given to her was: “If peace could be packaged as a product, how would you convince world leaders to buy it?”
Her winning answer:
“I would convince world leaders to see it as a quality, not as quantity. What I mean is the quality of us having constant dialogue with each other. It’s not about the quantity or the time we need to prepare to talk to each other but it’s the constant dialogue. Because if we do that, we would eradicate disparities in opportunities we can get. And also, we cannot grow the division within people in terms of politics, of power, and in terms of property. So, I hope they would look in quality instead of quantity.”
