Herlene Budol makes it to the first batch screening of Miss Grand Philippines
Herlene Nicole “Hipon Girl” Budol has begun her new pageant journey.
The comedienne and beauty queen shared on Instagram that she passed the first screening of Miss Grand Philippines. She is one of the 11 lucky beauties who were chosen.
In a previous post, it could be seen that Herlene donned a chic sequined swimsuit for the screening.
Miss Grand Philippines is now under ALV Pageant Circle, after Binibining Pilipinas withdrew its franchise with the international pageant.
Roberta Tamondong was named Binibining Pilipinas Grand International in 2022 and she placed 5th runner-up in the international pageant.
Isabella Menin from Brazil is the reigning Miss Grand International 2022.
Miss Grand Philippines will be held on July 18 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Herlene was the first runner-up in Binibining Pilipinas 2022 and garnered seven special awards.
She was also set to compete in her first international pageant, Miss Planet International in 2022, but withdrew “[due] to uncertainties by the organizers” and that the candidates were not treated well.
Aside from pageantry, Herlene is the star of the upcoming GMA series, “Magandang Dilag.”
