Yesterday, Aces & Queens started its face reveal of the ladies they will field for Miss World Philippines 2022. I was told that there will be around nine (9) entries, 10 if the last lady finally decides to give it a go.
I present to you the first six (6) in pairs of two, as follows:
Erika Kristensen – professional host, radio DJ, voiceover talent and digital creator
Charyzah Esparrago – Magna cum Laude graduate from UP Diliman (with a degree in Communication Research) who is also a Fashion Designer.
Aliana Joaquin – a Guest Services Supervisor at Okada Manila who graduated Magna cum Laude from the College of Saint Benilde with a degree in International Hospitality Management.
Angela Teng – a Bulacan native who graduated with degrees in Economics, Archaeology and Data Science from Brown University and New York University.
Beatriz McLelland – the youngest in the roster but the one with most pageant experience having reigned as Miss Teen International Philippines 2019 and represented the country in Miss Teen Intercontinental 2020.
Alison Black – she comes from Las Piñas City and is a University of the Philippines graduate. She dances ballet.
The remaining entries will be introduced in a separate blog entry soon.
The initial impression created by this list appears to be that A&Q is fielding its new brains-and-beauty recruits for MWP. As an opening salvo for MWP’s search for “Exceptionally Empowered Woman”, is A&Q trying to draw the “battle lines” for this pageant’s newly-minted tagline?
Note that MWP is a franchisee of two leading Europe-based branded pageants, MW and MS. The messaging A&Q seems to send is the formulaic strategy of matching the branding template of these international pageants with the personal brands of its fielded aspirants.
Scorg miss supranational though with it’s new tagline is still looking for the traditional Supermodel type woman with gorgeous face and beautiful body. Sana we send a tall sexy and of course smart woman. Being smart and being 5″5 is not enough.
@Yna, since MS brand building is still in its infancy stage, I believe its “Aspirational. Inspirational” tagline is still evolving. The evolution naturally starts with the traditional physical dimension of beauty. But I am positive MS brand will soon evolve into the more holistic concept of beauty as it looks for an inspirational spokesperson who can sell ideas effectively. Who knows if that evolution can be fast-tracked by a brains-beauty-values “Exceptionally Empowered Filipina”.
Scorggg MS is based in Poland. They have their beauty types there. It’s not a woke country too.
