#NextAttraction on #PageantryNorms:
“From Pageantry to Showbiz”
On the #9thEpisode of my Sunday show, the guests will be individuals who took the pageantry route as major stepping stones to getting more popularly known. And now, they have successfully crossed over to the wonderful world of show business:
1) Miss Universe Philippines 2013 and Miss Universe 2013 3rd Runner-Up turned TV Host/Actress Ara Arida
2) Miss Universe Philippines 2016 and 65th Miss Universe Top 6 turned TV actress Maxine Medina
3) Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism International 2018 turned MYX VJ Aya Fernandez
4) Mr Grand Philippines and Mr Tourism Ambassador World 2018 turned Kapuso actor Alec Calderon
and
5) Mr Teen International PH 2017 turned PBB Housemate-turned-Kapamilya actor Argel Saycon
Join in the interactive discussion this coming Sunday, August 23, 4pm on TPP TV via The Philippine Pageantry.
Season 1 is nearing its finale. Time to plan something a little bit different for Season 2 which will start mid-September.
Sir Norman, knowing that pageantry is just a stepping stone to a career, and that a showbiz career is not stable (i.e. shelf life is very short), I hope you will touch on what preparations or current inititaives they are doing now to secure a more solid second career (like business entrepreneurship).
Yes, scorg. Maxine, for one, has already started a small business of her own.
That’s nice to hear about Maxine. I wonder what has become of Ara’s dream, when she was still vying for a crown and a new BS Chemistry graduate, to embark on a cosmetics business carrying her own brand. I sincerely wish she pursues that dream.
Maxine can act
Mr. Tinio, you know who looks like Argel, po? At matangkad din?
Daniel Leong of Malaysia. Dios mio, he looks like cherubim! 🙂
Bakit ‘di po natuloy last year ‘yun’g supposed-to-be Manila-hosted “Ambassadors of the World” pageant (Edwin Uy, et al?), where cutey-boy-from-Sabah was supposed to compete at? Anyway, parang may show business career na (rin) siya back home. He starred in a mobile telecom ad campaign.
