PH's Sasha Lacuna concludes Miss Globe 2026 journey in the Top 11
Sasha Lacuna finished in the Top 11 of Miss Globe 2026.
The Pinay beauty queen, hailing from Tarlac, fell short of making it to the pageant's Top 5 finalists during the coronation night on Nov. 6 in Phuket, Thailand.
During the finale, Lacuna charmed the audience with her bright smile during the introductions. She wore a teal halter-neck dress featuring a structured bodice and tassel skirt, keeping her look simple with her hair worn down.
In the swimsuit segment, she commanded the stage in a shimmering pink two-piece adorned with beads, paired with a sheer cape.
Although she finished her journey early, Lacuna took home the Miss Social Media award and earned a place in the Top 12 of the pageant's Head-to-Head Challenge.
She also secured a place in the Top 6 of the National Costume competition with her “Ani ng Kasagahan” ensemble, which highlighted the Philippines’ agricultural heritage and paid tribute to Filipino farmers.
Before taking the stage, Lacuna shared a heartfelt message on Instagram:
"It has always been such an honor to represent the heart of a Filipina; our passion, our resilience, our determination, and that unshakable spirit that pushes us to keep going, dream bigger, and give our very best no matter the circumstances. These are the things I carry with me wherever I go, and today, I hope to let the world see a little piece of what makes us Filipino.
"So, Philippines, this one’s for you. I’ll walk onto that stage with our flag in my heart, your voices and stories in my mind, and the strength of every Filipino who believes in me," she wrote.
Lacuna was named Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2026 last June, succeeding Annabelle McDonnell. She vied for the Philippines' third Miss Globe crown, following the victories of Ann Colis and Maureen Montagne, who took home the crown in 2015 and 2021, respectively.
Nguyễn Thu Thảo of Vietnam was crowned Miss Globe 2026.
Suttida Aiadpu of Thailand finished as first runner-up. She was joined among the runners-up by Mariia Zheliaskova of Ukraine, Sybel Hoekman of the Netherlands, and Pilar Macias of Argentina.
