Who is Samantha Panlilio? Here are some details about her.
From pageant stage to girl boss, here are some details about former Miss Grand Philippines 2021 Samantha Panlilio.
WHO IS SAMANTHA PANLILIO?
She is Samantha Alexandra Aligaen Panlilio, a Filipino media personality, philanthropist, businesswoman, and beauty pageant titleholder. She was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Grand International 2021, and she represented the country in the Miss Grand International 2021 pageant.
From the pageant stage, she became the girl boss she was born to be. She is the chief operations officer of publicly-listed Boulevard Holdings, Inc. (BHI), the company behind luxury accommodation brand Friday’s in Puerto Galera, Boracay, and opening soon in Siargao.
Samantha also serves in the same role at Puerto Azul Land Inc., the developer of the Puerto Azul Golf & Country Club. She is the daughter of tycoon Jose Marcel Panlilio. Samantha is an heiress of a rich family heritage.
Panlilio was born and raised in the Philippines. She went to Southville International and went to the US for her college education. She studied at the University of California, Irvine, where she finished a double degree in Business and Computer Science.
She also worked in the US for an advertising agency, and later on, joined the sales department of a telecommunications company.
Despite the appeal of building a life in the US, her sense of duty to her family called her back. She previously expressed, “This is not just a business, this is family legacy. Our properties have been in the family for three generations. I’m the fourth generation. And so, my goal here is to make sure that our legacy continues on to my future children and future grandchildren.”
In an old interview, she also talked about being an heiress. While it sounds nice and great, behind it is a huge responsibility she needs to carry on.
