CJ Opiaza: The most regrettable queen at MGI 2024, reaching the 1st runner-up is still sad

Christine Juliane Opiaza, commonly known as CJ Opiaza, is a Filipino model, coach, and Miss Philippines. Born on July 8, 1998 in Castillejos, Zambales. CJ Opiaza won the title of 1st runner-up at Miss Grand International 2024.

For many countries, this may be an achievement worth celebrating, but Filipino netizens are very sad. Because for many years, this country has been considered a beauty powerhouse. More importantly, they have won enough crowns of major beauty contests from Miss World (1 time), Miss Universe (4 times) to Miss International (6 times), Miss Earth (4 times), Miss Superanational (1 time).
