Cebu City, Philippines—Real queens believe in each other’s capabilities. 

Binibining Pilipinas Grand International 2018 Eva Psychee Patalinjug expressed how proud she is of her successor, Binibining Pilipinas Grand International 2019 Samantha Ashley Lo. 

A photo during the turn over of crown was shared by Patalinjug on her Instagram account.

“Congratulations @samantha_ashley_lo never doubted you for a second. That being said, I know you’ll win,” Patalinjug said.

She also believes that Lo’s wit and beauty are her best assets when she vies for the Miss Grand International 2019 crown.

Other titles under Lo’s belt are Best Model of the World Philippines 2018 and Binibining Cebu Tourism 2017.
