It’s been a little over a week since Miss Grand Philippines 2024 CJ Opiaza was crowned first runner-up at the Miss Grand International pageant in Bangkok, and the Filipina beauty queen has been busy ever since.

CJ has moved into the official residence of the Miss Grand International winners, gone on a media tour, and participated in a fashion show celebrating the “spirit of Thailand” — all within the space of a week!

CJ has certainly earned all that she is enjoying right now. After winning the Miss Grand Philippines crown, she immediately went to work towards winning the Miss Grand International crown, entering the pre-arrival top 10 and garnered praise for her overall performance.

Take a look at CJ Opiaza’s week as the 2024 Miss Grand International first runner-up in the gallery below.
