Philippines now best Miss Supranational country after Katrina Llegado’s win

The Philippines has not only sustained its placement streak at the Miss Supranational pageant with the recent victory of Katrina Llegado, it has also now become the best-performing country in the Poland-based global tilt.

Llegado’s win at the 17th edition of the international competition held in Nowy Sacz on July 31 (Aug. 1 in Manila) has extended the Philippines’ placement streak to 14 consecutive editions.

The streak started in 2012 when Binibining Pilipinas Elaine Kay Moll finished as third runner-up at the 14th edition of the Miss Supranational pageant held in Warsaw, Poland. Mutya Datul posted the Philippines’ first win a year later.
