Samantha Panlilio has left for Thailand for the Miss Grand International 2021 pageant.
The Binibini queen, who left Manila on Monday night, said she is thankful for the "opportunity of a lifetime" as she aims for the country's first Miss Grand International crown.
She also thanked national pageant organizer Binibining Pilipinas, headed by Stella Marquez-Araneta, for giving her the chance to represent the Philippines on the international stage.
She arrived in Thailand on Tuesday and switched from a nude outfit to a shimmering green pantsuit completed with her sash.
On Instagram, she shared a 12-second video of her arrival. “Arrival outfit check,” she wrote in the caption of her post.
The Miss Grand International 2021 pageant will be held on December 4.
