Can you make “real friends” in pageants?

To answer the question above, “real friends” can be had in pageants. From my point of view, I can attest to that*. As far as numbers are concerned, though, the number is not that high. But what do I significantly know? I am simply coming from a blogger’s opinion. And experience-wise, 95% of the people I meet are always nice (or well-behaved) in my presence.

Take it from these ladies – Pia Wurtzbach, Bianca Guidotti and Carla Lizardo – who have solidified their sisterhood through the years.

* – I can say that my down-to-Earth friends among Queens include Cindy Obeñita, Rabiya Mateo, Chelsea Fernandez, Trisha Martinez, Leren Mae Bautista, Hannah Arnold and Angelee delos Reyes among others.

*MS. Lahaina Mae Mondoñedo- Director of Operations and Miss Bikini Philippines National Director;

*MS. Chiara Lim – Operations Executive and Miss Bikini Philippines Project Manager.

Participated in by applicants from all over the country, the screening yielded 22 contestants, a mix of pageant veterans and newbies all wanting to be an advocate of Total/Wholistic Beauty.

The Screening Committee was composed of: Mr. Paul Izon Reyes, Mr. Gib Osbert Ang, Ms. Lahaina Mae Mondoñedo, Miss Chiara Kathleen Lim and reigning Miss Bikini Philippines Louise Theunis.

Relaunched in 2019 by ProMedia, Miss Bikini Philippines focuses on embracing and embibing total beauty that includes intelligence, health & fitness, yet it is still as exciting with the basic trappings of a traditional beauty contest – swimsuit, evening gown, Q & A – that pageant aficionados are looking for!

To be hosted by Miss Earth 2015 Angelia Gabrena Ong, the three-episode pageant will see the 22 official candidates compete in three general competition rounds in the first two episodes. On the third and final episode to be co-hosted by Sean Kyle De Ortega Ramirez, special titles will be awarded, along with the selection of the top 10 and their competition round, and the awarding of major winners where reigning Queen, Louise Theunis, will be passing on her crown to Miss Bikini Philippines 2020!

Catch all episodes which will be uploaded to the official Miss Bikini Philippines FB & IG page.

The third episode will reveal the winner on February 2.

The Live Coronation Event of Miss Kuyamis 2021 went without a hitch as the organizers were able to stage a Finals which – even if a far cry from the all-out grand staging of the past four editions – was still successfully completed to the delight of everyone who followed the competition.

Congratulations to Dannah Joy R. Tempra of Jasaan for winning the title. She will now get the chance to represent the province in a national pageant to be announced soon.

Her court includes:
1st Runner-Up Katheryn Tan Guipetacio of Sugbongcogon
2nd Runner-Up Princess Nicole Segundo of Naawan
3rd Runner-Up Angeliza Navajo of Claveria
4th Runner-Up Alyssa Marie Cordova of Gitagum

The judges- Karan Singhdole, Angelee delos Reyes, Leren Mae Bautista, Manny Halasan and Carlo Pasion

I was actually invited by the LGU to be one of the judges this year. But due to personal travel restrictions I had to follow due to my senior mom who stays with me, I had to pass up on the chance and instead, asked my friend – Designer Manny Halasan – to take over. After all, he is my namesake. (I am Norman, he is Normannie)

Kudos to the entire Province of Misamis Oriental, Governor Bambi Emano and the ExploreMisOr Tourism Office!

Pleased to share with you the Season 2 Finale of Pageantry Norms earlier. I literally labored over this one during the live broadcast because our village had brownout for the most part of the program, so please bear with me.

We will have a season break next week before the Season 3 Premiere on November 29 where my guests will be the freshly-proclaimed winners of Miss Earth 2020 who will head straight to my program just a few hours after the end of the finals on TV5.

Miss Philippines Air 2013 Kimverlyn Suiza: this beauty is no airhead

Miss Philippines Air 2013 Kimverlyn Suiza: no lightweight beauty this lady is.

image Kimverlyn Suiza, the 24 year-old pride of Nagcarlan, Laguna, may have lost the top prize to fellow candidate Angelee de los Reyes – but not after giving the latter a nail biting fight-to-the-finish for the title of Miss Philippines Earth 2013.

You see, the Top 10 Question-and-Answer gave Kim the chance to shine so bright. Her reply to the environment-related query of judge Gina Lopez about the connection between environment and the quality of life could’ve been answered by a less-articulate contestant in a tentative manner. With her, the thoughts came rushing out fluidly and sensibly at that. And I reckon that the panel must’ve deliberated long and hard on who to give the #1 spot up to the time that the winner’s name will be printed and sealed inside an envelope by the auditors.

She did edge Angelee a bit with her fluent command of English, but it was the fierceness of the eventual winner that left her holding on to First Runner-Up position – #2 but very close to upsetting the choice of the majority.

At her near-ripe age, Kim could still give Bb. Pilipinas one clean attempt if she chooses to take that route. But with her now-existing contract with Carousel Productions, chances are that she may not be able to grab that opportunity anymore. And since the pageant does not field second-placers to any international competition, she will have to console herself with the fact that her Miss Philippines Air title carries a year-long responsibility to promote the causes of Mother Earth.

Not a bad performance for a first-time joiner who is more used to work behind the camera as a TV segment producer for noontime variety show ‘Eat Bulaga!‘. I hope to see more of her in the upcoming months. 😉
