Just when everyone was engrossed with Miss Universe Philippines 2021, the country scored another win in the international level – this time for married women.
Hemilyn Escudero-Tamayo, the former President of Mutya ng Pilipinas, was crowned Mrs. Tourism Universe 2021 – the highest honor during the virtual finals of the multi-titled Mrs. Tourism Pageant held in the country last Tuesday, August 3. She outclassed twenty (20) other candidates for the crown.
A mother of two boys and wife of businessman Richard Tamayo, she gave her 100% to the competition. In the process, she garnered a lion’s share of the special awards such as Best in Speech, Best in Talent, Best National Costume, Most Supportive Candidate and Most Viewed Mother.
Other titleholders in the said pageant are Mrs Tourism World Catherine Yogi (of Phil-Japan), Mrs Tourism International Monica Nugra of Ecuador, Mrs Tourism Earth Lisha Alencastre Nin of Peru and Mrs Tourism Globe Estelle Roche Kaye of Singapore. Thailand was originally scheduled to host the physical finals, but due to the pandemic, it had to be done virtually.
A Philippine Air Force Reservist, Hemilyn returned from a pageantry hiatus with much success. She is now ready to make her reign as productive and meaningful as possible, in keeping with the competition’s “A Mother Who Cares for the World” vision.
Congratulations from all of us at normannorman.com and Pageantry Norms! This is a well-deserved victory!
Off to Poland, Dindi Pajares is!
Watching through almost a hundred different video introductions made me realize that I am always looking for content and/or creativity (plus a good script perhaps). I squirm at extended clips where the delegate is continuously projecting as a wannabe fashion model because I have seen hundreds of thousands in my life as a pageant blogger. I also shiver with shots of ladies going down stairs or doing pasarela around the backyard. With that said, it only takes me 15-20 seconds to actually continue watching a video. When someone doesn’t pique my attention, I move on to the next. But when her voice is modulated well enough or is pleasant-sounding to the ears, I manage to finish the minute-long effort. 
Poland, here she comes!
Your reign may be nearing its fruitful end this coming Sunday, but I have always thought of you as a most visible Miss Philippines Earth inspite of the pandemic. Everytime I miss your face and smile, I just turn on the television, and you glow in those TVCs where your love and zest for life is shown in rich color (I didn’t know you play the guitar hehe). You guested on Pageantry Norms a record number of three times and I always enjoy talking to you and taking in all the positivity that you bring. As you enter a new life chapter next week, there is still the responsibility for Miss Earth that you have to fulfill. But I know that whatever you embark on will be just as successful because you always bring the sunshine to a cloudy day, the freshness of a cool spring on a hot afternoon and the breezy air of the dark evening sky with only the flames from a bonfire lighting up the darkness.
