What is it with a 3rd Runner-Up placement that constantly follows the Philippines, particularly for 2013? Ariella Arida snatched this spot in Miss Universe, followed by Ali Forbes in Miss Grand International and now, Koreen Medina in Miss Intercontinental.
Not that I’m complaining because a Top 5 spot is a Top 5 spot and will always be up there awarded along with the other victors. And if we add this to the glorious moments in Miss World and Miss Supranational plus the 4th Runner-Up turn in Mister International, this year is really turning out to be a truly winning period for the country.

Anyways, Ekaterina Plekhova of Russia was crowned Miss Intercontinental 2013, with Puerto Rico, Colombia and South Africa placing 2nd, 3rd and 5th respectively. As stated earlier, our very own Koreen placed fourth (3rd Runner-Up) and was also awarded Continental Queen for Asia-Oceania.
Congratulations!
