Miss Grand Philippines is the other spin-off pageant that will be staged nationally around middle of 2023. While it’s still several months away from the cluster of other competitions that have already set deadlines of submission late this month or early next, I do not have any intentions to obfuscate your mind as to who will join which.

But as for #GrandPossibilities, I am leaning towards this beautiful woman to be joining the beeline in the search for our representative who will eventually vie for the Golden Crown of Nawat Itsaragrisil’s Miss Grand International. Michelle Arceo – erstwhile the Miss Environment Philippines 2021 titleholder – may still be tied up with Century Tuna Superbods as the sole female runner-up in 2022, but I don’t see any conflict whatsoever should she join Miss Grand Philippines 2023.

Michelle has that vavavoom factor going for her. But make no mistake. She also has the brains to match any advocacy – be it anti-war or otherwise. I can actually picture her doing grand moves for MGI. Don’t you?

Good luck, Michelle!
