The Miss World Philippines Organization (MWPH) continues to expand its market reach by venturing into the realm of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.

The official franchise of the Miss World Organization inked an exclusive contract with Doill Technologies, Inc., one of the country’s emerging developers of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which have been touted as a viable platform to drum up its “Exceptionally Empowered Filipinas” marketing campaign, as well as its charity projects and other relevant advocacies.

Held at the Carlton Ballroom of Kingsford Hotel, the contract signing Press Conference was attended by key signatories from Doill Technologies, including CEO Angelo Bagas, COO Adrian Resuera, Board of Director Antonio Magsaysay, Treasurer Lemuel Gatchalian and Executive Secretary Mike Lugasan, with MWPH National Director Arnold Vegafria.

The event, dubbed “Non-Fungible Beauty: One World, One Dream” was hosted by Miss Multinational Philippines 2021 Shaila Rebortera and MWPH2021 1st Runner Up Riana Agatha Pangindian.

Vegafria exclaimed, “This partnership is a technological breakthrough. With the many advancements in blockchain technology in the global market, we have made a giant step forward by putting the Miss World Philippines brand further out – not just in the global market, but also in the digital and cybermarket as well – where it can engage more consumers and more importantly, educate them about our existing advocacies as well, particularly for education and mental health, and for our Exceptionally Empowered Filipinas marketing campaign.”

As part of the tie-up, MWPH NFT holders can avail of various perks and premiums. Fifty (50) lucky NFT holders will be randomly chosen to win tickets to the coronation night. Sixty (60) random NGT holders will receive an invitation to the Charity Gala. They will also gain livestreaming access to the coronation night, support charitable foundations and advocacies, and receive giveaways.

The 36 Candidates are breezing through the various Fast Track Challenges, which will culminate with the Coronation Night set for June 5 at the Mall of Asia Arena, which will also be highlighted by the presence of global pageant luminaries including Miss World Organization Founder and CEO Julia Morley, and Miss Eco International Founder and CEO Dr. Amaal Rezk.

Araneta City adds glam to Bb Pilipinas with augmented reality photo exhibit

Fans of Binibining Pilipinas are in for a treat with the opening of an interactive Glam Shot Photo Exhibit at the Gateway Mall in Araneta City on May 23, 2022.

The mall exhibit showcases the glamorous photos of 40 Binibining Pilipinas 2022 candidates, all shot by Raymond Saldaña and Owen Suarez, in 7-feet-tall installations. The candidates were styled by Patrick Henry, Justine Aliman and Macky Combe, dressed with ingenious designs by Odelon Simpao and Olie Pabustan, and embellished with accessories by Manny Halasan.

A ceremonial ribbon-cutting was attended by BPCI Executive Committee members Raymond Villanueva and Irene Jose, Araneta City AVP for Marketing Marjorie Go, Saldaña, and Aliman. Binibini Araneta City Francesca Taruc hosted the mini program.

The exhibit was made special as Araneta City uses augmented reality (AR) technology to bring the portraits to life. Exhibit viewers simply need to download the UniteAR app on their smartphones, open the AR camera on the app, and scan the QR code in any of the panels to see the Binibinis in motion as they slay the photoshoot.

Prior to the exhibit opening, the candidates toured the Gateway Gallery in Gateway Mall for a quick course on Philippine history. The Binibinis were introduced to the 30 large history paintings of the gallery’s SiningSaysay: Philippine History in Art exhibit, which can also be enjoyed via AR through the Gateway Gallery mobile app.

Araneta City first introduced AR technology in Binibining Pilipinas during the national costume exhibit in 2021. This innovation, along with other digital offerings of the previous Binibini edition, won the Araneta Group its very first Anvil Award for PR executions.

The Binibining Pilipinas 2022 Glam Shot Photo Exhibit will be on display at the Gateway Mall until June 10, and will be opened in other Araneta City malls until the grand coronation night. Check out the Araneta City social media pages for details on where to visit this interactive exhibit. ###

Gwen Fourniol: The Best of Pinoy and French worlds in one Miss World Philippines Candidate

Late yesterday afternoon, a meet-and-greet event was held at the Celestial Ballroom of Luxent Hotel in honor of Miss World Philippines 2022 official candidate Gwendolyn Fourniol of Negros Occidental. Organized by ProMedia Philippines headed by power couple Paul Izon and Jam Aquino (left photo), the 21 year-old Filipina-French beauty was formally introduced to more than two dozen members of the pageant media that convinced everyone of her good chances in figuring out well in the competition.

Gwen showed flair in answering just about any type of question thrown at her. She showed her independent-minded spirit while maintaining poise all around. In the video above, she explained to this blogger what Pinoy and French qualities are inherent in her to come up with a potential big winner come June 5.

Trilingual as she is, Gwen fluently speaks English and French, and can do more than conversational Filipino. She is mighty proud of her Pinoy heritage which can be traced in the Himamaylan and Kabankalan regions of Negros Occidental. Asked about what song describes her personality, she named the popular French classic “La Vie En Rose” – a reflection of her positivity as a young individual. She gamely obliged everyone with some lines from the song below.

Gwen is looking more and more like a potential spoiler in the national pageant. Given that this is already her second stint in Miss World Philippines, she took great effort in transforming herself into a highly competitive challenger – ready to win the highest crown possible if the stars align in her favor.

Let’s wish her the best in all the remaining weeks of the pageant before the crowning of winners at the MOA Arena on June 5.
