Ana Elizabeth Mosquera Gomez has just won the 6th Miss International crown for Venezuela.

Asian beauties placed as runner ups, Miss Thailand Piyaporn Deejing finishing second and Miss China Si Yi Yuan placing 3rd.

Among the 15 semifinalists this year, Miss China was the surprise entry because she’s not included in various beauty experts’ lists, not even in their Top 25.

Our very own Krista Kleiner, one of the frontrunners this year, made it to the Top 15 and has won two special awards, Miss Expressive and Miss Talent. This is the third consecutive year that Philippines has placed in Miss International following the Top 12 placement of Patricia Fernandez in 2008 and the late Melody Gersbach last year.

The Philippines has won its 4th Miss International crown last 2005 courtesy of Precious Lara Quigaman.
