Sasha Lacuna finishes Miss Globe campaign in Top 11

The Philippines’ wait for another Miss Globe crown continues after Sasha Lacuna finished as a Top 11 finalist at the 2026 edition of the international pageant, held in Phuket, Thailand, on November 6.

Although she fell short of the Top 5, Lacuna delivered a strong showing throughout the competition, earning several special awards and securing placements in multiple preliminary challenges.

Vietnam’s Nguyễn Thu Thảo ultimately won the Miss Globe 2026 title. Thailand finished as first runner-up, followed by Ukraine as second runner-up, the Netherlands as third runner-up, and Argentina as fourth runner-up.

Special recognitions

Before the coronation night, Lacuna won the Miss Social Media Award and advanced to the Top 12 of the Head-to-Head Challenge. She also placed in the Top 25 for Best in Talent, Top 10 for Best in Swimsuit, and Top 6 for Best in National Costume.

Following the results, Binibining Pilipinas, the Philippine franchise holder for The Miss Globe, congratulated Lacuna for representing the country and recognized her achievements throughout the competition.

“What a journey, Sasha! From the challenges to the special recognitions, you gave us so many reasons to be proud,” the organization shared in its message.

Two Philippine winners

The Philippines has so far produced two Miss Globe winners, both through Binibining Pilipinas representatives. Ann Colis captured the international title in 2015, followed by Maureen Montagne in 2021.

With Lacuna’s campaign ending in the Top 11, the country will have to wait until next year’s edition for another chance to claim its third Miss Globe crown.
