The 2024 pageant marks the second year that the Miss Grand Philippines competition will be under ALV Pageant Circle. The franchise was previously under Binibining Pilipinas Charities (BBPCI) until BBPCI withdrew in November 2022.
For its 2023 edition, Cagayan de Oro’s Nikki de Moura was crowned. She failed to enter the Top 20 of the pageant’s international edition.
Since the Miss Grand International started in 2013, no Filipina beauty queen has taken home the golden crown. The Philippines’ highest placing in the pageant is 1st runner-up from Nicole Cordoves (2016) and Samantha Bernardo (2021). – Rappler.com
