Jasmin Bungay, the Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2024 titleholder, is set to compete in the Miss Globe 2024 pageant, aiming to bring home the title last won by Maureen Montagne in 2021.
The 26-year-old licensed professional teacher from Porac, Pampanga, graduated magna cum laude in Secondary Education, majoring in Mathematics at Angeles University Foundation.
“I hope to bring home our third Miss Globe title. Your support motivates me to do well in the pageant,” Bungay expressed during her sendoff event at Quantum Skyview, Gateway Mall in Araneta City.
Before her pageant journey, Bungay worked in the logistics and freight forwarding industry in the United Arab Emirates and modeled for renowned Cebuano designer Harvey Cenit, who is based in Dubai. She is an advocate for the welfare and empowerment of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and strongly supports the passage of the SOGIE (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) Equality Bill, also known as the Anti-Discrimination Bill.
