The six winners in the inaugural edition of ICSM Infinity Pageants-Philippine Global Queens will have the honor of wearing unique and exquisitely-designed crowns to be flown in by the pageant’s respective international franchises from overseas.

Just to give you a teaser on one of them, check out the crown for the national winner of its top title- Miss Cosmos Philippines. 144 carats with an appraised value of US$25,000.00 (or around PhP1.3M), it will be for the eventual winner to keep and not to be passed on.

Such a lucky young woman she will be!

The Miss Cosmos Philippines crown: not perpetual, but for the lucky winner to keep forever

The five other titles at stake are:
Miss Regency International Philippines
Miss United International Philippines
Miss Global United Philippines
Miss United Nations Philippines
Miss Continents Philippines

To most of you, these may sound like minor international titles after reading, but the US-based pageants are well-funded organizations.

Yves Campos for Mister Tourism and Culture Universe 2019

At the Kagandahang Flores camp last night, Mr. Tourism Culture & Universe Philippines 2019 Yves Campos was given his send-off for Yangon, Myanmar where will compete for the title of Mister Tourism & Culture Universe 2019. With the event hosted by Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 Kris Tiffany Janson, he was at his happiest sharing his tourism advocacy videos which show the best side of his personality.

You will remember Yves as the representative of the Philippines during Mr Supranational 2017. Admittedly, he was not 100% prepared at the time when he competed in Poland. But for the Myanmar stint, he vows to redeem himself and make the country proud. He will leave for Yangon on August 21 with the objective of bringing home the title by month’s end.


Rohit Khandelwal: One of the longest Mr World reigns so far

Three years, one month and one week – that will be the exact length of the reign of Rohit Khandelwal as Mr World by the time he awards his successor on August 23 at the Araneta Coliseum. He is happy to be back in the Philippines but will be promptly flying back to India the day after the proclamation night to jumpstart his Bollywood career.

I had a brief one-on-one with Rohit where he answered three questions during the Presscon held at the Anahaw Function Room of Novotel Manila Araneta Center earlier. Watch below.
