Mary Angelique Manto is giving me that Eva Patalinjug vibe

The Province of Pampanga has always been a rich source of potential Binibinis or Bb. Pilipinas titleholders for that matter. Names like 1979 Miss International Melanie Marquez, Bb. Pilipinas Universe 1997 Abbygale Arenas, Bb. Pilipinas Official Candidates Gina Joy Howell (2012) and Emma Tiglao (2014) are usually mentioned when asked to rattle off some familiar Kapampangans who have gone either national or international in pageantry.

This year, Mutya ning Kapampangan wrapped up its search the other night with the proclamation of Mary Angelique Manto of Lubao as the fairest among the twenty-two candidates. The beautiful Communication Arts major of University of Santo Tomas proved that she has both beauty and talent to bring her to the top 5. From there, she was able to handle the final Q&A well enough to secure the title and defeat the other favorites for the crown. A former 2nd Runner-up in The Search for Ideal Thomasian Personalities 2013 (TSITP), she used the experience to help her stand out in the finals.

Young, beautiful and with a bright future in pageantry, Mary Angelique Manto is.

So the next question would automatically circle around the possibility of joining Bb. Pilipinas (or Mutya ng Pilipinas if you will) next year or in 2016. You see, this pretty lass is only 18. And the future could be real bright for her in the pageant world if she chooses to further her training and polishing for the big league.

Will we see more of Mary Angelique Manto in the months to come? I have a good hunch about her.

But for now, let’s all wait and see. 😉

  2. OKEY! NA OKEY! PILIPINAS NA TALAGA ANG GANDA FULL OF BEAUTY, SHE LOOK VERY NTELEGENT, CHARMING, NATURAL WOW!

  5. She’s beautiful. she has potential. sana ma train siya at mapunta sa tamang camp.

  9. Pretty face, sweet ang dating niya. Maybe Miss Earth or Mutya ng Pilipinas in 2-3 years tapos saka na mag BbP. Sabak muna sa minor/corporate pageants for more experience at tapusin ang pag-aaral. But I’d start with the professional training asap.

    Tito Norms, since malapit na ang Miss World, puwede bang mag-request ng Senti Sunday about the ninakaw daw na gown ni Cara Subijano nung Miss World 1994?

  10. Promising!

    An intl title is waiting for her, if my formula works:

    MM + MM = MAM

    Melanie Marquez + Margie Moran = Mary Angelique Manto

    • Mas awful naman ang BBP crowns kumpara sa korona nila. Kelan kaya papapalitan ni MSA ang mga korona? Ay teka, unahin pala muna ang mga itinatagong damit sa baul! Ipa-auction na lang sana nya ang mga yun at ang malikom na pondo e gamitin ang ilang bahagi sa pag-build ng bagong wardrobe para sa ating future Queens.

  12. I was a judge at the pre-pageant and these ladies were all on top of my list. I can see great possibilities for Maolyn (Mabalacat). she has the height and stage presence. Patricia (San Fernando) and Zaina (Angeles) were both standouts for their talents–Patricia recited poesia in Kapampangan, while Zaina played the kulintang. Mary Joy (Macabebe) owend the stage with her municipal costume made of real “kabib'” shells, from which the town got its name. As for the winner, Mary Angelique (Lubao), she displayed a maturity way beyond her age. She had a quiet but regal kind of beauty that reminded me of Miss Int’l ’70 Aurora Pijuan.Well done. ladies.

    • Nice. 4 out of 5 can easily make it to the national pageants esp. Miss Earth, Miss World P and Bb. Pilipinas.

  13. I see in her a conglomeration of striking features of our Pinay Great Beauties: the forehead of Gloria Diaz, the eyebrows of Miriam Quiambao, the eyes of Janine Tugonon, the cheekbones of Margie Moran, the nose of Lara Quigaman, the lips of Jamie Herrel, the chin of Shamcey Supsup, the neck of Melanie Marquez, the shoulders of Megan Young, and the Freshness and being natural of Mutya Datul!
    She can already prepare for Miss World 2016: start conceptualizing her BWAP and the content of her Multi-media projects, hone all the more her talents…condition herself for a grueling demands of international compitions without losing steam and getting into lethargy.
    She can be a strong bet for Miss Earth…but not for next year…maybe three years from now.
    As for Miss Universe…well,she needs to be fiercer…she needs to be more dynamic without sacrificing her gracefulness!

  16. Pretty face! Cute and delicate features, very promising. Can be groomed ala-Mutya Datul style.

  17. Sir n:
    Off topic
    Now that they are both back in Manila, is there a scheduled presscon for Kris and Yvette at Araneta today? Thanks

  18. Mary Angelique Manto can be a good candidate for Miss International, she is very striking. When I first see the photo of all the winners my eyes already laid on Maolin Yalung, I just can’t decide yet what crown suits for her.

  19. Tito Norms, 1997 po si Abbygale Arenas, which I’m sure is just a typo on your part 🙂
