MANILA, Philippines — In less than two months, the Philippines has scored more than two back-to-back pageant wins, with Nikki Buenafe securing the country’s back-to-back Face of Beauty International crown.
Buenafe was crowned earlier tonight in Taichung, Taiwan as Face of Beauty International 2025 by fellow Filipina, Jeanne Isabelle Bilasano.
The Filipino-Iranian beauty bested 32 other delegates to take home the crown for the Philippines.
Her runners-up are Lucy Dimitrova of Sweden (first runner-up), Julia Podkolina of Finland (second runner-up), Jing Mun Phan of Malaysia (third runner-up), and Suppanika Nopparat of Thailand (fourth runner-up).
Buenafe’s back-to-back victory comes days after Arianna Pantaleon won the Miss Environment International 2025 last November 24.
Emma Mary Tiglao, meanwhile, retained the golden crown for the Philippines after she won Miss Grand International 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand last October 18. Her fellow Filipina beauty queen, Christine Juliane “CJ” Opiaza, reigned as Miss Grand International 2024.
