A participant confidently believed she had advanced to the finals of a beauty pageant, only to realize she had misheard and needed to return to her original position. Isamar Herrera, representing Panama, mistakenly walked to the front of the stage after thinking she made it to the final 22 of the Miss Grand International 2025 competition in Thailand. However, it was later clarified that the announcer had actually called out Cecilia Romero from Paraguay. Isamar gracefully returned to her place, taking the incident in stride.
Reflecting on the mix-up, Isamar acknowledged her error, attributing it to a live broadcast situation where confusion can arise. Despite the momentary disappointment, she remained composed and even made light of the situation. Encouraging messages flooded in from her followers on Instagram, offering words of support and empathy.
Ultimately, Emma Tiglao from the Philippines clinched the Miss Grand International 2025 title, while Isamar was described by the pageant as a determined individual with a strong belief in achieving goals through faith, discipline, and love. Proudly representing Panama, Isamar sees the crown not just as a symbol of beauty but as an opportunity to inspire others and exemplify that success stems from hard work, passion, and a positive attitude. Her mission is to be a beacon of resilience, demonstrating that obstacles can be overcome with love, respect, and unwavering determination.
