Newly-crowned Miss Philippines Tourism Herlene Nicole Budol said her gamble to speak in Filipino for her pageant quest has paid off, if only for the wave of influence it has caused on many young girls. | diyarista
Budol required the aid of an interpreter for the Top 15 speech round, and the Top 10 question-and-answer portion of the national competition. She said she did so because she wanted to break the stereotype of what many believe a beauty queen should be.“Walang limit ang maging beauty queen, kung ikaw naman may purpose ka naman, ang adbokasiya mo, o kung anong inspirasyon ang kaya mong ibigay sa kanila. Limitless po iyon,” she shared.
But the 2023 Miss Grand Philippines title went to 19-year-old Brazilian-Filipino model Nikki De Moura from Cagayan de Oro City, who was crowned Miss Teen Philippines in 2019, and finished second in the Asia-wide reality competition “Supermodel Me” in 2021. De Moura will try to score the Philippines’ first victory in the Miss Grand International pageant in Vietnam in October, while Arceo will try to become the second Filipino woman to be crowned Reina Hispanoamericana in Bolivia later this year.
Budol’s title is similar to the one bestowed on Glyssa Perez and Trisha Martinez in their respective Miss World Philippines stints. The two former winners did not compete in any international contest.
