Off to New Delhi, India
Francesca Beatriz Abalajon, our Miss Teen International Philippines 2019, is scheduled to depart for New Delhi, India to represent the country in Miss Teen International 2019. Her flight will leave after lunch today, and she is more than ready to face the competition among young ladies from different parts of the world.
17 year-old Bea stands 5’5.5” and is currently a Grade 11 student at Miriam College. Aside from academics, her hosting skills were honed in different events and activities inside (and outside) the campus. She started going into pageantry when she was only 15. She was Grand Winner in both Ms Metro Manila 2018 and Mutya ng Luzviminda 2018 before moving on Mutya ng Aklan 2019 where she was named 2nd Runner-Up. She was also adjudged Miss Teen Earth Asia 2019 before winning the contest that earned her the right to compete in India.
All the best in your pageant journey. You will be carrying the name of the country now, so do us proud!
PS. Bea succeeded Simone Bornilla, last year’s winner of the national pageant who went on to win the Miss Teen International Asia & Oceania title in the bigger same Indian city.

Filipinos have recently done relatively well in India-based or -hosted pageants, both Miss and Mister.
Miss Asia, Miss Multinational, Mister Universal Ambassador, and Mister Model Worldwide also come to mind. No intent to discredit Miss Teen International. This post is theirs. 🙂
I wonder if Indians consider us their old-school-original-powerhouse pageantry peers….
For one thing, they put some premium on the Question Round.
Simone Bornilla herself should go for the Seniors, eventually….. like Kathleen Paton….
She can join other pageants after this especially pag nanalo sya dito. Good Luck girl!
Other news:
Sasali daw si Patch Magtanong sa MUP2020? If true, this is interesting.
I would also like Ahtisa Manalo to join MUP in 2021!
@ miss tissa Look at Francesca long enough and you will get some Patch vibe. 🙂
Imo, Atty. should practice her profession, muna. Sayang ang pagpasa sa Bar! The experience will surely add both perspective and insight.
Now, I’m thinking….. kung Alaiza just stick with BBP kung ni-ne-nerbiyos siya sa “all-star” cast sa MUP 2020…. Then for MUP 2020, I’m looking at Kathleen Paton…. or switch sila. Alaiza for MUP 2020. Ta’s si Kathleen for MIP 2020…. which means calibration to suit Japan preference for timidity/submissiveness. Hhmmm….
Hmmmm I wonder how a teenage could afford a fake LV bag 😎😎😎😎
