Annabelle McDonnell is Miss Charm Philippines 2023
She may have not conquered the universe, but she’ll surely charm her way to winning another crown. Congratulations to Annabelle McDonnell for being appointed the new Miss Charm Philippines. She will be representing the country at Miss Charm International 2023 in Vietnam.
The announcement was made today by both Miss Charm International and its local franchise holder Empire TV.
Since 2019, the title of Miss Charm Philippines has been bestowed to Ashley Subijano Montenegro.
However, due to the continuous postponement of the pageant, Ashley took the risk and competed in Miss World Philippines 2022. There she won the title of Miss Eco Philippines and will be competing at Miss Eco International next year in Egypt.
With Annabelle’s appointment, Ashley through an Instagram story expresses her full support. She states that:
“Having worked with her before, I found her to be such a beautifully, simplistic, sweet, and genuine soul. Perfect for the title.”
Annabelle who is 22 years old competed at Miss Universe Philippines 2022. Representing Misamis Oriental, Annabelle quickly became a fan favorite due to her quick wit and humble backstory. In the end, she places 1st runner-up to eventual winner Celeste Cortesi.
Miss Charm International will finally make its debut next year. Undergoing a hybrid set-up with never-before-seen activities that will anticipate fans even further.
Again, Huge congratulations to you, Annabelle! Good luck with your new pageant endeavor. We hope to see you become the first-ever Miss Charm International winner!
