Finally, Miss Grand Philippines 2014 has been crowned during the live finals at the GT-Toyota Asian Cultural Center just hours earlier. And just as I predicted, she is Kimberly Karlsson from Oriental Mindoro, the girl who defeated eighteen (18) other competitors on her way to claiming the right to represent the country in Miss Grand International 2014 happening in Bangkok on October 7.
First Runner-Up is Rosevemme Fajardo of Surigao del Sur and Second Runner-Up Mary Theresa Erna Gomez of Tarlac – my #2 and #3 forecasts as well.
Miss Grand International 2013 Janelee Chaparro assisted in crowning the winner, together with Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil and Miss Grand Philippines 2013 Ali Forbes. By the way, Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2000 Nina Ricci Alagao hosted the pageant.
