Philippine bets shine in MGI All Stars portrait challenge

The Philippines’ powerhouse delegation is once again generating strong buzz at the inaugural Miss Grand International All Stars as voting officially opened for the highly anticipated Portrait Challenge ahead of the competition’s final week in Bangkok, Thailand.

Representing the country in the historic first edition are Gazini Ganados, Fuschia Anne Ravena, Imelda Schweighart, Keylyn Trajano, and Alexia Núñez — a formidable lineup of seasoned queens carrying the Philippine flag on the international stage.

The Portrait Challenge serves as one of the competition’s major fast-track events, with the winner automatically securing a place in the Top 18 finalists during the Final Competition. Organizers also revealed that the round will determine the Top 20 best portraits, with 10 delegates chosen through public voting and another 10 selected by the judges.

Fans can support the Philippine representatives through the official Miss Grand International Facebook and Instagram pages. Voting remains open until May 27, 2026 at 5:00 PM (GMT+7).

The MGI All Stars festivities continue with the Preliminary Competition rounds scheduled on May 27 and 28, before culminating in the Final Competition on May 30 at Bravo BKK’s MGI Hall in Bangkok.

As excitement builds for the pageant’s historic inaugural edition, Philippine pageant fans are rallying behind the country’s five representatives, hoping one of them will secure a fast-track advantage and continue the Philippines’ strong legacy in the Miss Grand stage.
