Three Filipina-Aussie beauty queens are set to represent Australia on the international stage after dominating the recent Queens of Australia pageant.
Bella Dela Cruz, who was crowned Miss International Australia 2025, said that she "proudly" holds the Australian sash over her heart.
"May we keep lifting each other up in harmony as we carry our beautifully multicultural flag with pride,” she said.
Bella previously represented Lucena in Miss Universe Philippines 2025.
She will be competing at Miss International with the Philippines’ Myrna Esguerra.
Meanwhile, the Miss Earth Australia 2025 crown was given to Alexa Roder, who said that she is Filipino and Australian in both culture and identity.
“As a proud Filipino-Australian I’m so excited to be representing Australia in Miss Earth 2025!” Alexa wrote on Instagram.
“Growing up in central Queensland, Australia, it’s been a struggle to fully understand both my beautiful cultures, identities and heritages. I feel so blessed that my first two pageants, Miss Philippines Earth and Miss Earth Australia, have gifted me with clarity in self-identity,” she added.
Alexa represented the Filipino community of Melbourne, Australia in Miss Philippines Earth 2025.
She will be competing with Philippine bet Joy Barcoma in Miss Earth.
Lastly, Adriana Gravador bagged the Miss Eco Australia 2025 title.
“To stand under the spotlight and hear my name called was a moment I will cherish forever. This crown is not just a symbol of beauty, but of responsibility—a responsibility to advocate for environmental sustainability, textile recycling, and meaningful change,” Adriana said.
She also won Best in Swimwear, Darling of Social Media, Miss Philippine Airlines, and Miss Salad Master.
In 2020, Adriana represented Cebu City South in Binibining Cebu. —Carby Rose Basina/JCB, GMA Integrated News
