Miss Grand Philippines 2013 Ali Forbes
Bb. Pilipinas 2012 2nd Runner-Up (or 1st Runner-Up because Elaine Kay Moll has already moved up to Miss Supranational Philippines 2012) Ali Forbes may not have been given the opportunity to participate in an international beauty competition during the entirety of her management contract with BPCI. But things have a way of working in one’s favor long after the dust has settled, so to speak.
Just recently, Nawat Issarakraisin – owner of the Thailand-based Miss Grand International – flew into town and screened potential Philippine representatives to his pageant. And what do you know? Team JDV got the luck of the selection with one of their own getting the nod to wear the country’s sash in Bangkok come November.
Ali Forbes will now assume the title of Miss Grand Philippines 2013 (the first-ever to be proclaimed as such) and get ready for the upcoming tilt which has a scheduled November 19 coronation night at the Beauty Thunderdome.

Let’s hope Ali will have a successful run in Miss Grand International 2013.
