Jojo Bragais thanks Nawat Itsaragrsil for Reina Filipinas crowns

Jojo Bragais, president of the new national pageant Reina Filipinas, posted images that showed how the crowns for his competition will look like, and thanked Miss Grand International president Nawat Itsaragrisil for them.

In separate social media posts, the international pageant shoe designer shared 2D renditions of the crowns that will be awarded to the Miss Grand Philippines winner and the two delegates to MGI All Stars who will be chosen from Reina Filipinas.

The crown for Miss Grand Philippines is set on a gold base. Two prominent swirls in front, one with blue stones and another with red stones, are placed beside a sun that resembles the one on the Philippine flag. Three bejeweled stars are also prominently placed at the front side.

For the MGI All Stars candidates, the crown incorporates a similar aesthetic, and will still have elements from the Philippine flag. But the centerpiece will be a prominent star on the front side, encrusted with jewels.
