Annalena "Anna" Valencia Lakrini (Tagalog: [ˈʔana lɐkˈɾinɪ]; (born 5 November 1997)[1] is a Filipina beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2023. She represented the Philippines at The Miss Globe 2023 competition and ended as second runner-up.

Early life

Annalena Valencia Lakrini was born in 1997 or 1998 (age 26–27), and was raised in Stuttgart, Germany.[2] In her youth, Lakrini participated in Santacruzan events held in Filipino communitues within the country.[3] In an interview with Inquirer, Lakrini stated that she faced discrimination in Germany for her skin color.[4]

Since 2017, Lakrini has had a modelling career based in Germany, and participated at the MQ Vienna Fashion Week.[2]

Pageantry

Lakrini has been trained by Aces and Queens since 2022.[4] She cites Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach as her inspiration for pursuing pageantry.[3]

Binibining Pilipinas 2023

Lakrini won Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2023, representing the province of Bataan,[5] on May 28, 2023 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.[6][7]

In the swimsuit competition, GMA Integrated News, said "she confidently showcased her fit figure and striking pasarela".[8] She also won the Best in Swimsuit award, and the title of Jag Denim Queen.[citation needed]

Lakrini reached the top four, and in the final question-and-answer portion, she was asked by Honey Lacuna, the Mayor of Manila, "In what ways is a beauty pageant candidate aiming for a crown similar to a politician running for an electoral post?":

As someone who is joining for the second time, I know that a beauty pageant has a platform on which we can talk about causes that are dear to our hearts. My cause that is dear to my heart is nutrition. And as a nutritional scientist, as an advocate for proper nutrition, I know that in advocating with this platform from Binibining Pilipinas, we can inspire so many people. And a politician can inspire a whole community, and so can we.[9] Lakrini responded:[10]

At the end of the event, Lakrini was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2023 by outgoing titleholder Chelsea Fernandez.[11]

The Miss Globe 2023

Lakrini represented the Philippines at The Miss Globe 2023 pageant held at Albania on November 17, 2023, and finished as second runner-up.[12]
