Former Miss Universe Philippines 2019 Gazini Ganados has been officially confirmed as the fourth Filipina representative to compete in the inaugural Miss Grand International (MGI) All Stars pageant, organizers announced Wednesday, March 12, 2026.
Gazini joins a historic roster of Filipino queens set to represent the Philippines in the first-ever edition of MGI All Stars, a special competition featuring returning international beauty pageant veterans. She follows fellow Filipina delegates Fuschia Anne Ravena, Alexia Nunez, and Keylyn Trajano, marking a strong Philippine presence in the global event.
The MGI All Stars 1st Edition is slated to take place May 18 to May 30, 2026, in Bangkok, Thailand, with the Grand Final scheduled for May 30, 2026. The competition reimagines the pageant format by inviting seasoned queens from various national and international stages to compete once more for the All Stars crown and significant cash prizes.
Gazini, 30, is a Filipino-Palestinian runway model, actress, and television personality known for her commanding stage presence and inspiring journey in pageantry.
Gazini’s selection adds to her long and distinguished pageant career. She first gained national recognition as Cebu’s Sinulog Festival delegate in 2015, where she finished as second runner‑up at Reyna ng Aliwan, a prestigious regional pageant in the Philippines.
Four years later, she captured the coveted title of Binibining Pilipinas‑Universe 2019, earning the right to represent the Philippines at Miss Universe 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. There, she advanced to the Top 20 semifinals and also received recognition for her Best in National Costume presentation.
Beyond pageantry, Gazini has pursued a successful career in entertainment and fashion, using her platform to champion cultural identity and empowerment.
Her inclusion adds depth to the Philippines’ representation in what promises to be a landmark event for the Miss Grand International organization—highlighting veteran queens with strong performance records and fan followings across the global pageant community.
