Awesome win for the Philippines!
Nelda Ibe, the country’s representative to the Miss Globe 2017 pageant, finished as first runner-up in the competition held on November 3 in Tirana, Albania.
Miss Globe 2016 Dimple Patel from India passed on the crown to Miss Vietnam Khanh Ngan.
Philippines and Vietnam were the only ones left standing, holding hands for the announcement of the winner. As soon as the host declared Miss Vietnam as the winner, Miss Philippines was immediately proclaimed as first runner-up.
Nelda posted on her Twitter account of her podium finish:
Thank you, Lord! I’m so blessed beyond measure and thankful beyond words! #themissglobe #missglobe2017 pic.twitter.com/xkyRAEFWKX
