Anntonia Porsild joins Team Philippines at SEA Games 2025 opening ceremony
Miss Universe 2023 1st Runner-Up Anntonia Porsild carried the "Philippines" placard during the 2025 Southeast Asian Games opening ceremony in Bangkok, Thailand.
She led the Philippine contingent, which included prominent athletes Alex Eala and Bryan Bagunas, flagbearers for the event.
The opening ceremony took place on December 9 at the Rajamangala National Stadium.
Porsild, a Thai beauty queen, was assigned to the Philippines as part of a tradition for Thai beauty queens to serve as muses for each nation.
The event was attended by His Majesty the King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua, with only a select 300 Filipino athletes participating due to his presence and Thailand's one-year mourning period for Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother.
The 2025 Southeast Asian Games will continue until December 20.
