By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

Face of Beauty Philippines 2025 Nikki Buenafe has departed for Taiwan and be part of the pre-pageant activities that has officially started last November 20.

During a send-off presscon at the Asian Pandan Cafê in Quezon City, the former Limgas na Pangasinan titleholder said that, with Emma Tiglao winning a back-to-back victory at the recent Miss Grand International pageant, a back-to-back victory with the Face of Beauty International pageant is also possible; after Filipino delegate Jeane Isabelle Bilasano won the title last year.

"However, a back-to-back victory is a real challenge. You need to put 200% energy to achieve it. But I also believe in destiny. I believe it is possible with prayers, hardwork, and a lot of luck to make it happen.

"Like what Ate Emma said, any undertaking should be profitable - because pageants are businesses too - that's why we should marry the business with the advocacy and outreach aspect. I hope to bring the second back-to-back win to the ALV Pageant Circle," Nikki said in an exclusive interview.

The Face of Beauty International 2025 runs from November 20 through December 4. The final show will unfold at the AZNY Event Center at Gra, Port Harcourt. Outgoing queen Jeane Isabelle Bilasano of the Philippines will crown her successor. Stay tuned!
