McDonnell is currently in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to represent the Philippines at the Miss Charm pageant with her fellow delegates from different countries, where its coronation is slated to take place on Feb. 16.
In the pageant’s NFT (non-fungible token) chart ranking, McDonnell emerged at No. 6 as of Feb. 7, through blockchain voting. This means that voters will have their own unique digital identification codes that’s supposed to guarantee their cryptographic security and authenticity.
McDonnell, in an earlier interview, said the Miss Charm International organization is “probably looking for somebody who can be a great spokesperson to inform and better educate people on the merits of web technology, particularly blockchain technology, and how we can grow financially, and personally as well, from engaging in cryptocurrencies and NFTs.”
Prior to competing in Miss Charm 2023, she was named as first runner-up in the Miss Universe Philippines 2022 pageant. She was appointed as the Miss Charm Philippines 2023 titleholder after Ashley Subijano Montenegro gave up her crown after emerging as one of the winners in Miss World Philippines 2022. EDV
