Samantha Mae Bernardo, one of the leading contestants from the beginning of her competition, was crowned as the First Runner-up Miss Grand International 2020 at the coronation night. The Filipino Queen did proud to her community and country.
Samantha Bernardo had less than three weeks to prepare for the Miss Grand International pageant, but even her mentor was floored by her performance in Bangkok, Thailand. “She has definitely exceeded our expectations!” Rodgil Flores, head of beauty pageant training camp ‘Kagandahang Flores,’ said in an interview, defining Samantha as “simply grand.”
She is now off to her future endeavours as she joins in as a special mentor for both these candidates for the national title. Samantha will go to Northern Thailand and mentor these ladies who are on the quest for the Miss Grand Thailand crown this August.
