ALV Pageant Circle launches Miss Grand Philippines

The Miss Grand Philippines franchise is now under the ALV Pageant Circle.

On Thursday, the partnership with Miss Grand International was launched at Hilton Manila. Among those present was Arnold Vegafria himself and MGI president Nawat Itsaragrisil.

According to Vegafria, this has "long been a dream" for him.

"I'll do my best to make our relationship flourish and to support each other's charities and advocacies," he said. "[We will] empower queens for more noble advocacies."

Apart from advocacies and the pageant itself, Vegafria said he will also help with the tourism industry.

Itsaragrisil, meanwhile, said he is also grateful to merge with the Philippines. More than beauty, brain, and body, he sees the "quality of the people and how they make the country proud" more.

Also present in the launch are Miss Grand International 2022 Isabelle Menin from Brazil and her court.

ALV Pageant Circle is also the team behind Miss World Philippines.

This update comes after Binibining Pilipinas withdrew its franchise with MGI earlier this month.
