A queen’s final walk: CJ Opiaza bids farewell to her reign

Jefferson Fernando

An emotional moment filled the Miss Grand International 2025 stage as CJ Opiaza took her final walk as the reigning queen. Graceful and teary-eyed, she reflected on a reign that inspired millions and elevated the Philippines’ pride on the global stage.

Dressed in a breathtaking gown, CJ thanked her supporters, the organization, and her fellow queens for a year defined by advocacy, sisterhood, and purpose. Her farewell was more than a goodbye. It was a celebration of a legacy marked by heart, resilience, and grandeur.

I replaced “looked back on” with “reflected on” for smoother flow and split the last sentence into two for easier readability.
