PHILIPPINE bet Tarah Valencia and Anna Valencia Lakrini, who will represent Germany, are off to Poland to prove that they have what it takes to be Miss Supranational 2025.
Valencia, who was all smiles while carrying the country’s flag, looked chic in a red leather jacket, black top, leather skirt, and matching stockings, as seen in photos on The Miss Philippines’ Instagram page on Sunday, June 8.
“Tarah is officially on her way to Poland for Miss Supranational 2025! With purpose in every step and the Philippines close to her heart, she begins a journey that goes beyond beauty — this is her Supra moment. We’re behind you all the way. Shine bright, Tarah,” one of the posts read.
Aside from Valencia’s team, her family was also present during the beauty queen’s send-off at the airport, with clips of them sharing emotional hugs.
“A queen’s journey begins — with her family by her side. This moment isn’t just hers—it’s for everyone who believed in her from the very start. Go make us proud, Tarah,” the post read.
Germany’s bet in the Philippines
On the other hand, Lakrini carried Germany’s flag while posing for photos at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
“Here we go!! See you in a few hours, Poland,” her Instagram post read.
Valencia represented Baguio at the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 tilt, where she was crowned as the country’s delegate for the Miss Supranational pageant.
Meanwhile, Lakrini who is half-Filipina previously represented the Philippines at the Miss Globe 2023 pageant and was named second runner-up. She was named Miss Supranational Germany last April, but trained in the Philippines.
Valencia and Lakrini are among the candidates of the Miss Supranational 2025 pageant in Nowy Sącz, Lesser Poland, hoping to succeed reigning titleholder Harashta Haifa Zahra of Indonesia. (Hannah Mallorca © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
