Elsewhere, Miss Philippines was selected as the favourite to be crowned winner of the beauty contest, while other beauties from Kenya and Mexico were also picked for the first and second runner-up titles, respectively.

Completing the list of the top 10 are contestants from the Ecuador, France, India, Venezuela, Panama, and Indonesia.

This comes following prestigious global publication Missosology picking Vietnamese representative Phuong Anh as the first runner-up winner.

In line with this, Miss Panama is forecast to be crowned Miss International 2022, whilst the others in the top five are expected to be the girls from Kenya, the Czech Republic, and Mexico.
