  1. Rufa deserves the positive comments from the the pageant commenters because she has been showing good attitude even if she lost a number of times.

    Good luck Rufa!

  2. THIS IS ONLY THE POST NA ALL POSITIVE COMMENTS,,, THE MEANS RUFFA LOVE NA LOVE SI RUFFA NG MGA PAGEANT FANS.
    GALING PALA SILA JULIA HORTA, MAGDALENA STEPIEN,NATALIA PIGULA SA PAGEANT NA YAN…

    • @norman

      Tito walang credit sa nag style kay Rufa. Ang ganda nya dyan parang Asian Princess. Yung stint nya sa MW ang tapang ng mukha. That face is pang European competition based beauty pageant.

      I hope the Latinos will love your Asian beauty

  5. How did she get selected for the pageant? Is this through a pageant org? Just interested. Thanks.

      • @ Norman Uncle, ANDAMI ata lately na appointed…

        Alex Faith (Aura) set the tone. Sumunod si Giana Llanes (atm at Culture International). Tas, si Shannon (this Dec at Elite). Now, Ruffa.

        Common denominator : KF.

        Is it KF practice to ‘retire’ their vets with international assignments? And apparently takbuhan sila ng mga pageant orgs in need of a ‘Philippines’ sash. Just look again at the case involving Dolk, who became ‘Netherlands’ after ALV (finally) agreed to dispatch Tamondong.

        (You are mum on the identity of the Cafe Filipinas franchise holder. You are under a gag order, po?)

        Speaking of Danielle Isabelle Dolk, what’s in the pipeline for her? Hope the wait won’t be too long.

      • (Cont.)

        If this is how it is with that camp, then advise them to get international assignments for the following.

        Roa Digal (MUP-Bukidnon 2021), Alexangela ‘Gila’ Salvador (if she is reluctant to try for MUP), Julie Tarrayo, Sheika Calapatia-Manglicmot, & either Natasha Jung or Elda Aznar (P-U-S-O).

      • Just another question, if I may.
        Could a pageant org go directly to a pageant training camp to ask for a representative, and in what circumstance would this happen? Thank you.

      • Flor matanong ka – Pwede namang i-appoint next year si Patch Magtanong as MUP 2022? he, he, he…

        Pwede (pa) ring sumali si Patch si MWP next year for Miss Supranational other titles.

      • OK, Uncle. Saw the 2014 (Parul Shah) article tagged…

        So, you’d think Mdme. SMA being Colombian it would be a no-brainer BPCI gets the Cafe franchise for the country. Instead, they get Angkol’s. And Parul is all set!

        (Do update us asap on what will become of the Ecuador-based United Continents country franchise. And the future of Jewel of the Philippines.)

        RIdelC, if I’m not mistaken, is more like an annual town/city (Manizales?) festival, the culminating event. Parang yung Senyorita Colombia (which still holds the MI franchise for the country).

    • @ charlotte york I will take the liberty – and audacity – of attempting to satisfy your query, po.

      An excellent recent example was when (The)MGO asked BPCI to send over a Philippines rep for their pageant last year as host city Tirana was celebrating its centennial (if I fall short on years I apologize) DESPITE THE PANDEMIC.

      Of course, we know BPCI conducted their selection only THIS year. So, the organization ‘asked’ KF for help… It was all a hasty process which resulted in Rowee Sasaluya-Lucero bowing out of the Roster and ended up 4th RU in Albania.

      (Why 2019 1st RU Aya Abesamis wasn’t sent is curious…)

      (Never mind Samantha Bernardo’s case. That’s an entirely another drama in itself but that one got the endorsement of BPCI and yes, we’ve discussed that to death here in the blog earlier this year!)

      • Got it Flor. Thanks for your inputs. Yes I remember that atypical selection now. I was thinking that would typically happen when no one is holding the franchise but I guess things happen. Thank you for valiantly pointing that out.

  6. Ruffa and Dindi had the same fate, representing Philippines after being hand picked by the organization not by winning a local pageant

    • and Dindi should have placed in the top 5 if not for that bad choice of Finals gown …

    • Mas succesful naman si Ruffa compared kay Dindi… Si Ruffa MW 2nd princess while si Dindi nganga sa MU 1993. Hihihi

  7. Didn’t she carry the Batangas sash at BBP before? From the land of Kape Barako to the land of Cafe Colombiano, Ruffa Nava will show the world that Kape Barako is the world’s best brew. Come January, Philippine pageantry will all wake up to a good hot cup of coffee enough to energize another productive year of bountiful and beautiful harvest. Ruffa will graciously serve it to us!

  9. YEY ! She can win this for her beloved Pinas !!! finally an international pageant for her !

  12. Happy for Ruffa Nava, and well said Mr. Norman, indeed, may this assignment be a sweet ending to her decade-long pageant journey..and a rewarding experience she can forever treasure. .

  13. SUPER BEAUTY SIYA SA SECOND PICTURE…AYYYY RUFFA , SA COLOMBIA PA…I’M HAPPY FOR YOU

  14. I don’t know why but this pictorial of hers is the best HMU version I’ve seen her in..
    Congratulations and goodluck!

  17. Indeed, rewards await for those who patiently wait. Good luck Ruffa Nava on your pageant journey this coming January 2022.

    • True yan sis. Nakatakda talaga kay Rufa Nava to wear the Philippine sash. Destiny talaga ni Rufa yan. Good luck Rufa!!! Laban girl!!! ❤❤❤
