MANILA, Philippines – It was a good run for Miss World Philippines Hillarie Parungao, but her journey is now over.
Hillarie made it to the Top 10 of the competition, held at the Beauty Crown Grand Theatre in Sanya, China, but stopped short of the Top 5.
Instead, Miss World 2014 Rolene Strauss passed on the crown to Miss Spain Mireia Lalaguna Royo.
Aside from being in the Top 10, Hillarie also won the Multimedia challenge, one of the 5 challenges of the pageant. The winner of this challenge has a holistic understanding of all forms of media, and can gather support for her cause by connecting to her fanbase.
Hillarie also placed 3rd in People’s Choice, where viewers got to vote for their favorite contestant to make it to the final round. Vietnam won first in People’s Choice.
The event was hosted by Miss World 2013 Megan Young, Access Hollywood presenter Tim Vincent, and TV host Angela Chow.
On Facebook, Hillarie posted a message to the people who supported her, saying, “To finish 3rd in the leaderboard is beyond amazing. To finish within the Top 10 is way beyond amazing.
“But the real winners are you guys. I couldn’t have won the Multimedia Segment if you weren’t so supportive and interactive. I love love love you guys. I also want to thank everyone who helped me in this journey but the list is neverending. Mahal ko kayo (I love you).
“The Filipino is truly worth fighting for. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!”
