Samantha’s performance at Miss Grand International 2020 was awe-inspiring. Her swimsuit performance was a charmer, a swirl there and all hearts were sold to Samantha. Samantha’s confidence and positivity was reflective in her performance. Her National Costume ‘Agila’ also caught eyes as it was inspired by their National Bird- the Great Philippine Eagle, the rarest and most powerful birds in the world. If Samantha decides to participate in Miss Universe Philippines 2021, she will definitely be a strong competition for the other ladies at the national competition.
