“Today we honor Bonifacio Day by proudly raising our flag. Binibini Hannah Arnold is on her way to Tokyo via Philippine Airlines, so join us in wishing our Hannah the very best,” it stated.
Arnold also showed moments of herself at the airport and described competing in Miss International as a “once in a lifetime opportunity,” via her Instagram page yesterday.
“Cannot believe the time has finally come to raise our flag. Thank you Binibining Pilipinas and Miss International for this once in lifetime opportunity and of course thank you to all of you for the never ending support. I cannot wait to meet all of the delegates in a little while,” she said.

The 60th Miss International competition marks its first pageant in two years, following years of postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While Arnold earlier admitted that she got upset over the global competition’s hiatus, she decided to focus on her advocacy work and her goal to “cheer all women.”
The grand coronation night for Miss International will be held at the Tokyo Dome City Hall on Dec. 13. /ra
