1 title, 2 first runners-up: PH performance in 2021 international pageants

After long delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several international pageants have finally pushed through this year, which saw Philippine candidates proudly waving the country’s flag.

The Cagayan de Oro queen bested more than 70 candidates from across the world for the title that was highlighted by her impressive answer in the Q&A segment of the pageant. Bernardo now joins the likes of Elizabeth Clenci and Nicole Cordoves, who finished second runner-up in 2017 and first runner-up in 2016, respectively, in Miss Grand International.

Kelley Day matched Bernardo's feat in the international stage as she was named first runner-up at the Miss Eco International pageant held in South Sinai, Egypt in April. Despite failing to win the crown, Mateo stretched the Philippines' semi-finals appearance to 11 consecutive years, which started in 2010 when Venus Raj scored a 4th runner-up finish. The streak is highlighted by two crowns courtesy of Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray .

Dindi Pajares also did not disappoint at Miss Supranational 2021 as she landed in the Top 12 of the pageant held at the Strzelecki Park Amphitheater in Nowy Sacz, Poland in August.
