Maricar Balagtas was the first Filipina to win the Miss Globe title in 2001 and Ann Colis won it in 2015.
Colis made this comment while being honored at the recently-concluded 57th edition of the Binibining Pilipinas pageant. She had just returned back to the Philippines, after an extended modeling stint abroad that saw her stranded in London and Portugal due to the pandemic.

Colis shared that she managed to be more resilient and avoid loneliness during the lockdown abroad through yoga, meditation and getting in touch with her mom regularly. The beauty queen also said that she is now focusing on becoming an actress through Virtual Playground — the talent management company of producer Dondon Monteverde.
Colis previously acted before in the online series “Fluid,” besides doing brief minor part in the Dwayne Johnson-Russell Brand series “Ballers.”
“We shot at a Paramount Pictures set-up and they mistook me as a Brazilian or Latina, but I told them I’m 100 percent Filipina,” she added. (AW)
