The Latest in Fashion

The Philippines has a new set of pageant titleholders following the debut edition of Reina Filipinas, staged on Friday, August 7, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay City.

 
Taking the top title, Reina Filipinas Grand International 2026, was Angelica Lopez of Palawan, a former Miss International Philippines titleholder. She'll go on to represent the Philippines at Miss Grand International 2026 this October.
 
Two other queens shared the newly created Reina Filipinas MGI All Stars 2026 title: Alexie Caimoso Brooks of Iloilo, previously crowned Miss Eco International, and Anne Patricia Lorenzo Diaz of Manila, a former Miss International Queen Philippines titleholder. Both are set to compete in the upcoming second edition of MGI All Stars later this year.
 
The runner-up positions were filled by Cleopatra Barrera of Zambales (first), Isabela Ortega of Camarines Sur (second), Zeah Nestle Pala of Mandaluyong (third), and Luisa Benavides of Caloocan (fourth).
 
The inaugural event drew a starry guest list, with reigning Miss Grand International Emma Mary Tiglao and MGI All Stars titleholder Vanessa Pulgarin among those in attendance to celebrate the new competition's launch.
