Above is a screenshot from Pageantry Norms Season 7 Episode 4 with my guests – Miss Kuyamis 2022 Annabelle Mae Tate McDonnell and her court – Jimema Tempra, Vanessa Atienza Dulay, Nycee Lampad and Vea Bautista.
The internet connection was unstable for two of them, but were still able to participate. Watch out for them in the different national pageants this 2022!

There is a new beauty pageant camp in town. And it’s called “The Crown Initiative”. Below is the only description I can share for now:
THE CROWN INITIATIVE
TCI is a training ground for all women and men. We believe in empowerment through a holistic approach to self-improvement and
development. We aim to make Queens and Kings on and off the stage.Advisers:

If you will take note of some of the names above, there are a few individuals identified with Aces & Queens the last couple of years. Let’s see how their outputs will unravel in this – their inaugural season in national pageantry.
Miss Kuyamis 2022 Annabelle McDonnell who will hopefully take part in Miss Universe Philippines 2022
First Runner Up Jimena Tempra who may possibly be sent to Binibining Pilipinas 2022
2nd Runner Up Vanessa Dulay who just might be a fit for Mutya Pilipinas
3rd Runner Up Nice Lampad who I suggested for Miss World Philippines 2022
4th Runner Up Natazha Vea Bautista who might go for Miss Philippines Earth just like her older sister Nellza Bautista a few years back.

McDonnell will most likely represent the province in Miss Universe Philippines 2022 scheduled for screening next month. You will remember her as part of Miss Millennial Philippines last 2019.
And like saving the best for last, Misamis Oriental Governor Bambi Emano pulled out all the stops for the #9thKuyamisFestival. It is, after all, his last term as Governor of the beautiful province. The outstanding staging/production of Miss Kuyamis 2022 is just one of them.
Your leadership is a source of inspiration for all Misamisnons!
Mabuhay ka, Gov!

In a Jane Austen novel (appropriately titled “Emma” for the purpose of this blog entry), there is this quote which goes “You must be the best judge of your own happiness.”
Emma Tiglao’s pageant career has taken twists and turns in the past that have led her to evolve into a newscaster – a move that gained the thumbs up from many. On one hand, she has settled in nicely with her Net25 family. But on the other hand, there remains the nagging question of whether or not to punctuate her life as a Beauty Queen with one final hurrah. Will we see her going into that route before curtain call time?
When someone is the daughter of a popular Bb. Pilipinas Universe and a famous actor, chances are that pageant fans and followers will immediately look out and take interest in the girl’s blossoming into a woman.
Atasha Muhlach is one half of the twins whose parents are Aga Muhlach and Bb. Pilipinas Universe 1994 Charlene Gonzalez. She was born November of 2001, and that makes her 20 years of age at the moment. Height-wise, she stands at least 5’6”-5’7”. The good genes are in place. But is she even interested to follow the trail of her mom? Perhaps, she needs to finish her studies abroad first.
But who knows? Let’s see if this entry graduates into more than just a wish list.
Amidst the COVID-19 Omicron surge, the organizers behind Hiyas ng Pilipinas decided to take a relatively more aggressive stance with their pageant. They have finally penciled a date for the Coronation Night on March 27, 2022 at the Pacific Grand Ballroom of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino (the same venue of the annual Binibining Cebu before the pandemic). Hopefully, things will be better by then. Typhoon Odette had already done damage to the group after the Queen City of the South and its surrounding areas were devastated last month. They are coming out stronger, I reckon.
Good luck to HnP!
From Origin Models Management – the same modeling agency that fielded Beatrice Luigi Gomez and Tracy Maureen Perez in 2021 – Chantal Schmitz is being rumored to be one of the next protégés that might be fielded in the nationals. This 5’7” Law student has been getting the buzz of late. Will she pursue?
On the other hand, another rumored joiner is Binibining Pilipinas International 2019 Patch Magtanong who – just like Ahtisa Manalo – is said to be looking at 2022 for a possible Miss Universe Philippines crossover. She was largely non-committal last 2020 due to a still pending contract with BPCI followed by an anticipated employment in a law firm. Is the coast clear this time around?
Reposting in full the experience of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach getting COVID-19 in the UK:
Posted @withregram • @piawurtzbach Long post ahead 🙏🏼 Sharing what happened to me recently.
I caught COVID here in the UK even though I’ve been fully vaccinated & received my booster shot already. Kumpleto din ako ng flu & pneumonia vaccines. I eat healthy & I’m active, but I still got it. I got all the symptoms too. Fever, sore throat, body pain, runny rose, cough, & I also lost my sense of smell & taste. It’s not like a regular cold or flu that goes away after a few days. I’ve never been sick for this long, which lasted more than a week.
I’m one day away into completing isolation with my sister, @sarahwurtzbach who also caught it. We both tested negative already, thank God. 🙏🏼
The worst is through. I am recovering well. I am beyond grateful my parents are safe. Di sila nahawa sakin. 🙏🏼
Guys, COVID is so real. My timeline shows that many have/had it too, both in the Philippines & abroad. And the numbers are going up exponentially. Please take this seriously cos anyone can get it no matter how healthy you are. Being fully vaccinated doesn’t stop you from getting the virus but it helps you overcome it. Please follow health & safety protocols. I think it’s the moment you put your guard down, doon ka mahahawa. You think you’re safe & usually yung makakahalubilo mo walang symptoms. Akala mo all is well. Pero, nahawa ka na pala at may possibility na maipasa mo sa iba nang di mo alam.
It seems easy for anyone to just break protocols & still go out even when they know they tested positive. Feeling nila, di sila mahuhuli or wala namang nagbabantay. I’ve personally seen other people do this. 🤦🏻♀️ Meron pa diyan, may symptoms na & have the means to get tested pero ayaw nilang maconfirm na may COVID sila, tas lalabas parin. Naku, konsensiya niyo nalang yan. Konting personal accountability, please.
Ang dami nang nagkasakit. I don‘t wanna sound preachy but let’s not be selfish & go breaking protocols, hoarding supplies, refusing to get tested & vaccinated.
I hope we can start 2022 right. Let’s look after one other by getting those jabs, staying in isolation if needed, stop gathering in big groups, frequent hand washing, & please wear those masks properly. 🙏🏼
Someone’s excited for the start of Miss Universe Philippines 2022. And she can’t wait to see the next batch of #phenomenal women who will sign up for this year’s edition.
After placing in the Top 5 of the 70th Miss Universe, Beatrice Luigi Gomez wants the next one to sustain the momentum.
