Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2025 Annabelle McDonnell is determined to win the country’s third Miss Globe crown following the victories of The Miss Globe 2015 Anne Colis and The Miss Globe 2021 Maureen Montagne.

“I’m gonna be at my best in Miss Globe. Hahampasan ko sila ng balakang guys, don’t worry. I will be ticking all those boxes in that department because I’m going to win for the Philippines,” she declared at a presscon in Manila, held prior to the international competition.

She is currently in Tirana, Albania vying for the title, alongside with other 49 contestants from around the globe, with the finals night to be held on Oct. 15.

“I think I should be the next Miss Globe because I understand where people are coming from. I understood what it feels like to be marginalized, what it feels like to be left out in conversations and what it feels like to be judged on how you look like or where you come from or what accent you're speaking with,” the beauty queen from Iligan said.
