It’s no secret by now that Miss Universe 2012 1st Runner-Up Janine Tugonon will be coming home to the Philippines. The last time she visited was back in 2018. And according to the IG account of Aces & Queens, she will be watching the finals of the national pageant in person. Well, it doesn’t take a genius to conclude that she will possibly be one of the judges because there are no spectators allowed in the event except for the candidates, the organization, the production team, the judges and perhaps, a small representation from the host city. So where does she classify among those groups?
Anyway, I would really love to see an all-Filipina lineup of phenomenal judges for the finals – namely, Venus Raj, Janine Tugonon, Ara Arida, Maxine Medina and Pia Wurtzbach as Chairman of the Board. And why don’t we include National Director Shamcey Supsup-Lee for good measure? It will even be a show of unity if Bianca Manalo, MJ Lastimosa and Rachel Peters are to be invited. But I guess that would be asking too much.
What do you think, dear readers?

I can sense a tinge of sarcasm Tita. You mentioning A & C beauties as judges and leaving out Miss Universe 2018. Why?????
Chezka, Catriona is currently identified as mentor of Bb. Pilipinas 2020.
Oh, I have been out of the loop. Thanks sa info Titabels.
I like Janine. I truly believe in my heart she was our 3rd MU. One of the fiercest rep natin sa MU. Matalino. Displayed qualities during the competition what a Filipino is. Nakakamiss siya. Not much visible sa Philippine pageantry.
Janine Mari Tugonon is Miss Universe 2012 1st runner up. May rason kung bakit…kaya nga successful siya now sa modeling career niya.
Good to hear that she is coming and would be gracing the show. She is one of the most successful Pinay models who’s able to penetrate the international modelling scene. she would indeed add more glamor to the occasion
That would be nice to see her as one of the judges
The ONLY one from KF whose presence could/should matter is…. @ paul at number 1 fan ni… 🙂
Nonetheless, we happily welcome back (home) Tugon-on. Btw, how did that prestigious nude calendar project pan out? Tito Blogger here even made us vote for her, providing the link for the Poll. I was faithful. ARAW-ARAW, I checked the numbers… Who was the other Filipina (US-based) in the roster? And how did Olivia Jordan fare?
Sir Tinio, SI KELSEY MERRITT ang ibig ko ri’ng mag-hurada! On Wikipedia, it is stated that she signed up with Viva Artists Agency last 13 June 2020. Sino po’ng magiging leading man niya?
(cont.)
Meki Saldana. But, it seems Janine managed to edge her out… Dikit sila dati sa votes.
🙂
What’s new with her ?
She’s already 32.
