Katrina Llegado still could not believe that the Miss Supranational crown is back in the Philippines.
The Filipina beauty queen made history after winning the title in Poland, making her the country's second Miss Supranational titleholder after Mutya Datul in 2013.
"One day later... still taking it all in," she said in an Instagram post before gracing the Mister Supranational 2026 pageant as a reigning queen.
"Still sinking in," she said in another post, where she shared photos of her crowning moment. "After 13 long years, the crown is finally back home. I am your Miss Supranational 2026."
"This moment is for every Filipino who believed, prayed, and never gave up. Maraming salamat!"
Llegado, a pageant veteran who competed in the Reina Hispanoamericana 2019 stage, ended the Philippines' 13-year title drought in Miss Supranational.
She won the opportunity to represent the country after finishing in the Top 6 of Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) in 2025.
MUPH is the sister pageant of The Miss Philippines, which also sends delegates to Miss Cosmo, Miss Eco International, and Miss Charm.
