Rowena Lucero Sasuluya of the Philippines finished 4th runner-up in the Miss Globe 2020 pageant.
The 26-year-old licensed teacher from Bulacan competed with 53 other candidates from around the world at the pageant's grand coronation helf at the Olympic Park in Tirana, Albania, Thursday, November 12, 2020.
Kosovo's Lorinda Kolgeci won the Miss Globe 2020 crown.
Other winners were Siberia's Matveeva Evgenia, first runner-up; Ghana's Naomi Chioma Anene, second runner-up; and Brazil's Thawany Faria, third runner-up.
During the final question-and answer-round of the pageant, the candidates were asked: "If you would go back in the past, which moment would you like to relive?"
Rowena answered, "If I would have to go back in time, I would want to relive the moment when everybody is on its normal phase and everybody is just having a normal life.
"What I mean is, I wish we would realize that we shouldn't have taken the things for granted just like how things are right now.
"And this would be a simple reminder that we should always appreciate what we have right now and learn from the lesson of the past."
Earlier in the pageant, Rowena bagged the People's Choice Award after receiving 35% of online votes through the pageant's official page.
Rowena was appointed by the Miss Globe organization, with the help of Rodgil Flores and Gio Flores of Kagandahang Flores, to represent the country in the pageant.
Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. was supposed to crown a new Bb. Pilipinas Globe titleholder this year, but its grand coronation night was postponed to a later date this November due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rowena continued the Philippines' six-year placement streak in Miss Globe.
In 2015, Ann Colis won the Philippines' second Miss Globe crown after Maricar Balagtas bagged the crown in 2001.
In 2016, Nichole Manalo placed third runner-up. Her successor, Nelda Ibe, won first runner-up in Miss Globe 2017.
In 2018, Michele Gumabao had a top 15 finish. Last year's representative, Leren Mae Bautista, was second runner-up.
