You all know NY now that Toni Alyessa Hipolito underwent the most unique reign of an international beauty competition when she was offered the 2016 crown of Miss Globe International which did not take place during its intended dates late last year. She accepted the appointment inspite of not having a crowning moment to look back to. Neither did she enjoy any luxury of travel in the process.
But now she will. Formally as the reigning titleholder.
Yesterday afternoon, a Meet-and-Greet Press Conference was held at Scatter MNL where members of the media were informed of the upcoming departure for Anatolia, Turkey to crown her successor in the 2017 edition next month. In fact, she is very likely to spend Christmas abroad. And she doesn’t mind. After all, she waited long enough for this moment. She was promised to be given her cash prize for being the 2016 appointee, plus a collection of jewelry to come with it.
Present during the event were Bb. Pilipinas International 2015 Janicel Lubina, Rodgil Flores and Gio Lazaro Flores of KF plus Officers and members of JCI International who sponsored the Presscon.

Below is part of her interview with ABS-CBN and GMA-7.
namamaga ata si janicel
SO SHE DID ACCEPT! CROWN BESTOWED AT NO EFFORT AT ALL?
NASAAN ANG DELICADEZA AND PRINCIPIO?
REMEMBER WHEN EVANGELINE PASCUAL DECLINED THE OFFER TO REPLACED THE DETHRONED MARJORIE WALLACE AS MISS WORLD? ACCORDING TO EVANGELINE, IT WOULD BE A SLAP TO THE PHILIPPINES AND DEFINITELY AN INSULT.
Mama, sa panahon ni Evangeline Pascual di pa ata nangyari ang dethronement. How ironic nga lang kasi first time in history may dethronemment na nangyari nung 1973 sa Miss World tapos 1974 sa Miss Universe but both 1st Runners up wasnt able to take over. Kasi di pa uso nun. Millennials na kasi kami Maddamme and we have our differebt perspective of showing delicadeza. Charot!
nope! Evangeline should be more than happy to replace. kaso sabi nya in one of her interviews na as if pinapatrabaho cya but without the official title. unfair naman yun kaya di na cya tumuloy.
*would have been more than happy
It was offered to her. The substantial reason being her topping their internet voting.
Anong delicadeza ang pinaglalaban mo? Tumanggi si Evangeline Pascual dahil na offer lang sa kanya ang responsibilities, hindi ang title. Yun ang sampal a tinutukoy ni Evangeline.
Anu po ba talaga ang totoo mga baklah??? Sabi nyu si Prutas ang pambato ng A&Q eh KF naman pala si merlat! Kaya pala close na sila ni Rachel Peders.
At anu itong naririnig ko na sina South Africa at Thailand pala ang mga taga A&Q?????
Sa kasaysayan ng patimpalak heto na marahil ang pinakamagarbo at pinakagastos na patimpalak. Isipin mo pumili na lang sila mga kandita na wala ng patimpalak, Diyos ko magastos kaya ang pumili sa mga kandita. Kailan ba kaya ang susunod na patimpalak na ito. Baka puwede na po yung mga gustong maging beauty queen na sumali dahil wala kayong gagawin kung hindi ipadala ang larawan ninyo. Ano pa ginagawa ninyo, join now!
BONGGA DI BA, IBIBIGAY ANG PRIZE NA WALANG KAPAGODPAGOD HIHIHI
TINGIN KO NAMAN AY MAY NEGOTIATIONS ON BOTH PARTIES BEFORE GIVING THE CROWN TO TONI HIHIHI 🙂
PALULUGI BA NAMAN ANG MISS GLOBE INTERNATIONAL ORG. DIVAAHHH 🙂
PALARA INSPIRED?
ganda ng gown ni indo
Goodluck if makatawid sya ng top 10 kasi sayang naman ang gown.
It’s Miss Universe Vietnam 2016 gown and not Bunga’s.
eh yan kung makaabot ng evening gown round….lol
Pia supports Rachel😄
She didn’t really say it bong… hihihi lam na this!!!
Ba’t parang iba si Pia dito. Para siyang aloof.
Bong, she didn’t say it. However, her reaction to the Rachel question and the start of shrugging of the shoulders…. and she had to add the other pageants to get the focus out of MU/Rachel…. says something…. I wish she had ended her answer with wishing Rachel the best of luck with a friendly wave.
natatakot si pia masundan agad…mawawala limelight sa kanya
As I’ve observed before, as years pass Pia is becoming a Gloria Diaz instead of becoming a Margie Moran.
IF YOU MARRIED A VERY RICH FLORENDO OPO WALA TALAGANG “I” PERO DAHIL MAYAMAN NA AT PASALAMAT SILA KAY APONG MARCOS KAYA MAY “I” PARA MAIBA SA MGA POBRENG FLORENDO HIHIHI, NAKASANDAL SA PADER 🙂
EH, C GLORIA D AY DAZA ANG NAPANGASAWA AT TAMA LANG ANG KAYAMANAN MINSAN AY KULANG PA PERO SHOWBIZ NAMAN TALAGA ANG PINASOK NI GLORIA NOON PA KAYA ENJOY LANG DAHIL SA SHOWBIZ SYA MASAYA.
HINDI MO RIN MASASABING NAKAKAANGAT C MARGIE KAY GLORIA DAHIL KANYAKANYANG HAPPINESS YAN HIHIHI 🙂
Mga dutertards talaga oh. Of course Pia has to be prudent. She thinks not only before she clicks but also before she speaks. She’s a judge in the finals so she has to be impartial. If you don’t get that you can go to hell. Sorry that’s too harsh. Ok, just get lost.
BULOK TALAGA TONG ISANG YELLOWTARD NA TO, DI MARUNONG UMINTINDI. UTAK TAE. KUNG ANONG PINAGSASABI. BOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBO HIHIHIHIHI
Oh di ba certified dutertard si bong700? Galit na galit. Parang papatay. Hahahaha. Oh well what can i expect from a dutertard.
HIHIHI, VERY IRRATIONAL MAG-ISIP ANG MGA YELLOWTAE HIHIHI 🙂
Aj, nagtatangahan ka ba? maka duterte si pia. lols
AJ DI MO BA ALAM NA SUPPORTER NI DUTERTE SI PIA, BONGOK KA RIN ANO?
Uhm angelo, Pia became Ms U before duterte became president. So i dont care if shes a dutertard now.
So Angelo, are you a dutertard ba?
hmmm hinay hinay Inday Pia basin dire ka malaos. Ayo ayo diha kurdapya. Give Rachel 9.99 in all segments mala Carlos Zapata in 1994 for Colombia… for the country Inday else kangkongan bagsak mo sa galit ng sambayanang kabaklaan hehe
Seriously, Pia is just trying to project to the rest of the pageant world that she is fair… trying to detach herself from Rachel but I believe she will choose GERMANY above all else hahahhahaha

Is that valeria cardona? ME Honduras 2017? lagare sya ah…but I would want her to win….she’s one of my faves in the recent ME….swerte nya ha…almost 2 months sya sa pinas touring different places
Janicel is the one that got away in the pageant world. Kung hindi lang sana sya minadali ng KF at ni madam Stella. Imagine, she joined MI at 18 kaya anong aasahan natin? Kung pasasalihin pa sya uli ngayon? No. Huwag na. Ang prutas na nahinog sa pilit ay hindi na pwedeng pahinugin pang muli. Magsilbi na lang syang paalala sa mga beauty camps at sa mga organizers na kailanman ay hindi nagdudulot ng maganda ang mga bagay-bagay na minamadali. My two cents.
There are many 17-18 yrs old who won international crown.
Lubina might have won the MI crown if her speech is stronger with conviction w/o the crying effect😄
I’m expecting a runner-up position but the judges weren’t convinced to include her in the winning circle 😢
Bong, naisip ko rin yan. Melanie marquez won MI at age 15. But that was before. Iba na ang labanan ngayon. Kung dati – a beauty queen is born, ngayon – a beauty queen is honed. When the game changer Osmel Souza started forging his queens, naapektuhan nito ang playing field. Many countries tried to catch up including the Philippines. Pumasok sa eksena ang mga local beauty camps natin at hindi na tayo umasa na lang sa sheer luck and outer beauty alone. And true to form, thanks to A&Q, KF etc., we were able to produce a relatively bountiful international beauty queens. Ang magandang ehemplo na magpapatunay sa teyoryang ito ay ang nangyari kay Pia vis.a.vis Janicel. Now kung hindi pa rin tayo matoto sa nangyari, hindi ko na kasalanan yon, cheret!! (pahiram) 🙂 🙂
Just last yr , PR won MW at 18
Koronang walang dangal 🙂
SO SHE DID ACCEPT! CROWN BESTOWED AT NO EFFORT AT ALL?
WHERE’S DELICADEZA AND PRINCIPIO?
Well the organizers said she is the winner . There’s nothing to argue about it . Besides she has been working on it for a long time having joined Binbini 3x ..
Off topic: Now that Rachel Peter’s gold evening gown has been leaked, will still everybody be excited to see her showcase the Val Taguba creation on the finals night? The gown is a lot better than Rhett Eala’s worn by Maxine last year, and is pageant-fit. Me? I am excited.
Ciao!
Veks a gown is only a gown but it’s really how the gown is worn and carried is what makes people excited. I dont think it is the gold gown. The gold gown is only a diversion veks if you follow social media.. hihihi
Sana nga this is just panlito. Anyway, calling me ‘veks’ makes me think of Ms. Maria Isabel Lopez, the woman who unwittingly removed the barrier and traversed the Asean lane and then wittingly explained her side at LTO with a senior citizen discount plea. Kaloka. Hahaha!
Ganda parin nung Janicel kahit hindi pageant reydi ang body. Diba 22 palang yan? Dami pa niya time mag-grow at expand ang knowledge if gusto niya join ulit ng pageant pwede sa MWP yan. I hope invest niya yung time na meron siya para ihasa ang brainz at communication skillz sa English language at may K naman talaga. Eto yung super 💯 percent pinay beauty na close sa ganda ni Venus na half Indian pero you know what I mean.
Hay mamang Rodgil, wag mo sayangin ang ginto sa harapan mo. Sayang tung Janicel na to kung lilipasan lang ng panahon at magiging typical pinay housewife lang in the next few years. Kaloka you were born to be a beauty queen, Janicel. Go , payt payt talaga for Krown and Kountry, gurl!! 😘❤️💖
Fabian, naunahan ka na ng mga sisterette mo😄
Papika ka na rin kay Rachel at pakipost dito sa Momma N blog….hihihi
Ohaa😄
Tinuruan ni Maria ng Discipline ang anak nyang c Mara hihihi.
Divahhh mga becks, discipline is Maria and Maria is discipline 😄
Anong height ba ni Mara baka puede sya sa Miss Scuba for a start😋
Diosmio diko pala napost yung video ni Mara Lopez Yokohama 😄
Hanapin ko pa🤗
Bong I’m not in Vegas . And I won’t be there because It’s A Thanksgiving weekend . I’m afraid of the airport traffic.
Maybe next yr when Rachel relinquishes her crown . It’s prob the best time too as I won’t be stressed out hoping and praying for a Philippine win.
Mangarap ka’t di magising hihihi
Dami mong kuda yung LV bag ni Momma N wiz pa rin till now kahit sa Divisoria lng galing ay wala 😄😋😗
Bong700 Norman is not coming to town , so what’s the point ? If and when he’s there The next step will be easy . The Caesar’s palace is just a few feet away on the same side of the street from PH, puede ko syang hilahin at papiliin ng gusto nyang LV , plain black ba o kailangan yung May LV logo ? Hihihih
May federal express. ..post ofis. ..Internet video chat etc…
Madaming dahilan sa mga ayaw magbayad, magbigay, etc. ..kung puwede lang ipakulam ko yung madrama pag may kailangan pero kapag singilan na ay maraming dahilan hihihi 😄
Bong700 wala akong mailing address ni Norman .
At kailangan . Dapat personal abot para special , diva? May matching selfie pa hihihi
Sa Vegas ka ba veks?
4m, wala, ikaw?
SA PRITIL C 4M FABIAN PARANG IKAW HIHIHI
I miss you Janicel! Sana join ka ulet sa BbP or MWP.
Hindi nga puede sa BP , di ba ?
Maybe MSA can find a new pageant to send. Her to … just like Parul .
I’m still hoping Janicel would be sent to MW 2018 and Gabriela Ortega to RH 2018. That is Kung may liksyon na natutunan si Arnold this year!
RH would no longer be lenient next year. Gabriella is the perfect mold provided she loose 10kg. Kaya Lang di pinanalo Yan kc risky sa MWP because of the 18months post pageant contract of BPCI.
Wow! She still looks fresh. Go Ms Peters… the Philippines is right behind you!
Love my queen’s look here. This look looks great on her sa final. She’s looking maganda at bata habang papalapit ang final. Slay then all my queen.
Full support si Mamita at Papito ohhhh!
Syempre naman! Lalo na kasi madatung. Hehe
Love to see Janicel back..she gained weight but still lovely..
