Pageant of the World was launched just this week in Sydney, Australia
The US has Miss Universe. UK has Miss World. The Philippines has Miss Earth. And now, Australia has proudly started what will be known as its first homegrown international beauty competition – Pageant of the World.
Pageant of the World is actually an offshoot of the Miss Australasian Beauty Pageant which focused on ladies in Australia with foreign descents and different cultural backgrounds. This time, the organizers – headed by CEO Cindy Dionisio – have decided to expand their reach and include representatives of different countries. Thus, Pageant of the World was incepted and successfully launched last February 18 at the Green Room at the Quay, at the Rocks overlooking the popular Sydney Harbour in the distance.

Here is part of the Press Release:
Pageant Of The World was conceptualized and initiated in Australia. It aims to revolutionise the traditional beauty pageant. “We are about developing positive role models who can offer more than just their beauty. Gifted with their skills and talents, our candidates are women who can make a difference and contribute to the community at large. They would most like do ongoing volunteer and charity work in areas that need attention, like aged care, children and the disabled in our society” says Cindy Dionisio.
We envision the winner to be crowned to be a role model for the world, and an ambassador for cultural celebration, harmony, equality and social justice. Her reign would involve a range of activities integrating charity work and raising awareness for a variety of causes to include education for children in impoverished areas.
Cindy explains that “the pageant is no easy ride for the candidates. We expect them to do the groundwork and they will have to undergo workshops, training as well as get involved in community work whilst competing in the pageant . However, their journey with us would be most rewarding and truly fulfilling. It would be a life changing experience as they transform themselves into women of substance – confident, knowledgeable, connected to the world they live in, and truly deserving of the title “Woman of the World.”
The inaugural finals of Pageant of the World – where the big winner will be titled “Woman of the World 2016” – will be held on July 8 at the Sydney Town Hall. Knowing both Cindy Dionisio and Sid Vijan personally, I believe that this pageant is in good hands. I am definitely looking forward for more updates and developments about it.
July 8 will be the inaugural finals of this competition

dios mio, isa na namang pageant ang sumulpot! parang mga kabuteng nagsulputan! what’s next? pageant of the universe?! o grand pageant international?!
Well you have the prestigious GRAND SLAM of tennis;
1) U.S. Open
2) Wimbledon (UK)
3) French Open
4) Australian Open
Australia’s Pageant of the World has definitely the potential to join MU, MW, MI and ME as a future Grand Slam pageant. Who knows… keep an eye on this Pageant.
Tito Norman baka puwede kayo naman ang mamuno nito. Kung kaya ng iba sigurado ko kaya niyo rin. Sa dami ng inyong suporta sa loob at labas ng bansa tiyak na magiging matagumpay kayo. Malay Mal Ma
Let’s give this Australia-based pageant a break. It should target a minimum of 80 entries if it wants to be immediately marked in the pageant map. “Womnan of the World” sounds good for a title. 😊
Norman, could you pls refer Jacqueline Tan, President of Mutya ng Pilipinas Inc to handle the local franchise of this new pageant. Janela Cuaton should be sent to this pageant since Miss Tourism International 2015 was postponed. TY.
Sana kunin ni ms. Cory ang franchise nitey para 2 na ang ibibigay na korona during mwp
I don’t think Julia Morley would like to share the Miss World PHL title with a newcomer. Miss PHL Earth has Miss Earth already to worry about so the two options would be Bb. Pilipinas Charities as the 7th title or Mutya ng Pilipinas since Miss Tourism International and Miss Tourism Queen of the Year International seems inconsistent.
I would pick Mutya ng Pilipinas Inc to carry the national franchise.
Miss international planet of the world universe and earth, meron ba? Lahat na lang ah juice ko. Anyways, hanggat may budget keribels lang.
Itong Australia dinedelubyo na rin ng pagkaadik sa pahentiya.
Miss International nga na limang dekada na e palubog na tapos heto magtataguyod pa kayo ng bagong pahentiya.
Baka may forecast silang makuhang pera basil.
Hindi naman sila magtatayo or expand internationaly kung walang malaking ROI.
Mga pinoy man din ang organizers/owner.
Sana maging successful sila at iwasan ang mga negatibong pamamalakad ng kanilang organization.
Baka maging major international pageant pa sila 🙂
Their success is also a success of the Philippines.
Sana magtayo rin si Sir Norman ng Queen of the Universe/World 🙂
