#WelcomeBack, Ms O!
It was a homecoming of sorts for Olivia Quido-Co. The last time she was here in the Philippines was back in pre-pandemic 2019 when she hosted a #BeautyDay then. Three years have passed ever since. This time, she has returned with a bang. At the Garden Ballroom of Edsa Shangri-La, Manila, #MissOBeautyDayinManila was celebrated once more with Olivia Quido Skincare on the spotlight and her VIPs.
The successful beauty entrepreneur and her supportive husband Jason Co welcomed all guests, including members of the mainstream, print, online and pageant media along with program host MJ Felipe. Carrying the brand that is now known internationally as the official skincare of Miss Universe, they brought their successful line of products here and even conducted personal consultations with regular clients.
But not to overshadow her #MissUniverse affiliation, the very engaging Ms. O also answered questions about how she was able to land the big deal with the said pageant organization, as well as successfully bringing her brand to South American countries like Paraguay, Colombia and Brazil. From here, she will conduct a charity program in Smokey Mountain to provide education to at least 100 streetchildren.
Later this month, she will fly to Vietnam and Thailand for separate business-related launches before returning to New York in September where she will reunite with current titleholder Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu for more projects.
As for the host country of the next Miss Universe edition, her lips are tightly sealed but will go wherever it will be held next. More than this, she is all for the inclusion of single moms/married women in the popular beauty pageant.

#Introducing: Manhunt Philippines Male Supermodel Joshua de Sequera
This 25 year-old Property Specialist and Volleyball player stands 6’4” and will represent the Philippines in Manhunt International 2022 which will be held in the country from September 24-October 1. He is the father of Jacob- a one year old and a half toddler who is his main source of joy. For the uninitiated, he is the son of supermodel and TV actress Marina Benipayo.
Joshua is preparing hard for the international modeling competition and promises to give it his best, knowing fully well how consistently successful the country performs in pageants and like-natured contests.

Do watch the documentary prepared by the Miss Universe Philippines Organization for its 2022 edition.
Congratulations to Joanna Camelle Mercado of the Philippines. She is Miss United Continents 2022!
Camelle defeated 24 other candidates from different parts of the world to become our second big winner in the pageant after Jeslyn Santos last 2016.
Her five runners-up include Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay and Mexico in that order.
I just love the spunk of Camelle. She was a one-woman band in Ecuador who relied on her strong determination to stand out from start to finish. Her interview in Spanglish definitely made her stand out in the Top 6. When it was just Filipinas and the host delegate in the Final 2, it’s easy to tell that the crown is already hers!
Congratulations once more, Filipinas!
In a national pageant finals literally marred by the elements, a new Miss Philippines Earth was crowned and she is heavy favorite Jenny Ramp of Sta. Ignacia, Tarlac.
The program started earlier at 10am, but finished five hours after. Strong rains dampened the proceedings at the poolside and courtyard of TAG Resort Coron just after the announcement of the Top 10. And since the set-up was outside, everything had to be relocated inside the resort – hence, the delay.
But with patience, the event was restored with the Top 10 Q&A, Announcement of Final 5 and Q&A and crowning of winners.
Comprising the elemental court are:
Air: Jimema Tempra of Jasaan, Misamis Oriental
Water: Angeline Mae Santos of Trece Martirez
Fire: Eryka Vina Tan of Legazpi City
Eco Tourism: Nice Lampad of Bayugan City
Jenny will now be the Philippine representative to Miss Earth 2022 to be held later this year.
Congratulations!

Your thoughts, dear readers?
The road towards the grand coronation of #MissPhilippinesEarth2022 will take on a hybrid format-producing both virtual and live shows showcasing the country’s breath-taking tourism destinations.
#MissPhilippinesEarth takes on the theme “ME Loves Fauna” to emphasize the importance of caring for animal life.
The Miss Philippines Earth Finals will take place on Saturday, August 6, 2022 at the famous tourist destination and enchanted paradise. Hosted by MUNICIPALITY OF CORON, PALAWAN through the leadership of Mayor Marjo Reyes. In cooperation with TAG Resort Coron Palawan.
The much-awaited TV airing will be shown on August 7, 2022 (Sunday) on A2Z CHANNEL 11 at 10AM to 12NN.
From the Top 20 Finalists, I am going straight to the five (5) ladies who are likely to occupy the Final 5 spots in the competition.
My Final 5 for Miss Philippines Earth 2022
Anyone among them can make it to the top, but I feel that the highest title will be a toss between Justiene Ortega of the City of Manila and Jimema Tempra of Jasaan, Misamis Oriental. The remaining placements could go to Jenny Ramp of Sta. Ignacia, Tarlac for Water, Nice Lampad of Bayugan City for Fire and Kiara Liane Wellington of Cebu City for Eco-Tourism.
