The Philippines’ Alethea Ambrosio was crowned Miss Supranational Asia and Oceania at the conclusion of the Miss Supranational 2024 pageant in Nowy Sacz, Poland, on July 6 (July 7 in Manila).
Her coronation also makes her the first Filipino woman to receive the continental title, and it came two days after Brandon Espiritu became the first entry from the Philippines to advance to the Top 5 of the Mister Supranational contest. He finished third overall.
Ambrosio and Espiritu won in the twin staging of The Miss Philippines and Mister Pilipinas Worldwide in October last year, and officially received their assignments as the country’s delegates to the Supranational competitions in February.
At the Miss Supranational pageant, Ambrosio advanced to the Top 12 of the competition. Part-Filipino Yuki Sonoda from Japan made it to the Top 25. Their fellow Asian delegate Harashta Haifa Zahra made history for Indonesia by winning the country’s first Miss Supranational crown.
Jenna Dykstra from the United States settled for the first runner-up spot, while heavy favorite Justyna Zednikova from the Czech Republic finished as second runner-up. Brazil’s Isadora Murtia was third runner-up, while Curacao’s Chanelle de Lau rounded up the winner’s circle as fourth runner -up.
Meanwhile, Ambrosio’s fellow continental queens were South Africa’s Bryoni Govender for Africa, Mexico’s Andrea Saenz for the Americas, Puerto Rico’s Fiorella Medina for the Caribbean, and Denmark’s Victoria Larsen for Europe.
Before flying to Poland for the international competition, Ambrosio has already crowned her successor as Miss Supranational Philippines, Tarah Valencia who was third runner-up in the 2024 Miss Universe Philippines pageant. She will compete in next year’s Miss Supranational contest.
Mutya Johanna Datul remains to be the lone Filipino woman to be proclaimed Miss Supranational. She won the title at the international competition’s fifth edition in 2013. Last year’s representative Pauline Amelinckx almost scored a second victory for the Philippines when she finished as first runner-up.
