Ann Colis: Moving on from pageantry

Pageantry has been good to Ann Lorraine Colis, both nationally and internationally. She has marked a good deal of achievements in this industry that opened several doors of opportunity. Winning for the country The Miss Globe 2015 was the peak of her growth in this field. I can still remember that late morning in Manila (and late evening in Canada) when I had a friend inside the theater giving me blow-by-blow updates of the finals. Imagine my joy upon hearing that she nailed the crown.

Up to now, pageant fans and supporters continue to egg her on into returning to the pageant limelight. She is 27 years old and more than ripe for a comeback. But move on, she must.

During our chat, Ann said that “I’m just really thankful and I hope I did not disappoint anyone with my decision. I leave it now to the other girls! I’m happy with what God has given me. And it definitely opened a lot of opportunities for me. I traveled the world and experienced different cultures. It definitely helped me grow and flourish as an artist as well.”

“And I also have a big change with my career in the US. There’s a lot going on. And I’m just excited. I’d like to ask my supporters for their continued support even if I’m venturing into a different path now.” added Ann

This dusky beauty has just recently signed up with BMA Models and Artists – the only Filipino in the roster of talents. In fact, she will be flying to London early next month where she will be represented in projects that are geared into both modeling and the arts. Work awaits. And this time, she will also be doing photography.

“I’m actually posting a bit of my works now on social media. Art is everything to me. It helps me to express myself in a way that I can’t say in words. So in essence, I’m still representing the Philippines pa naman. In a different field nga lang. I will always carry that with me.”

Ann wants to send her deepest gratitude to everyone requesting for her to take a second stab at pageantry. She’s happy knowing that there are still those who believe in her. But then again, her constantly changing inspirations as an individual and a professional will be given top priority. And she hopes that people will support her new career endeavors, albeit in a different path.

“…I will continue with what I’m more passionate in doing. They will see soon.”

Formally now: Bb. Pilipinas 2016

The 2016 search is so on!

 
I know the question/s nagging you right now. Why are there only five (5) titles at stake and not six (6)? Whatever happened to Miss Globe Philippines and Miss Grand Philippines? Why is Bb. Pilipinas Tourism still up there when it was already excluded when the new website was launched last year?

I tried to contact BPCI regarding the above queries, but have not received any replies or clarifications so far. So what’s my take?

My Speculations:
1) The franchises for Miss Globe and Miss Grand International could initially be just one-year trial collaborations and their renewals are still under negotiations subject for mutual agreement. It is possible for these titles to be reinstated soon. Or not.
2) Bb. Pilipinas Tourism could be there because the organizers of Miss Tourism Queen International (which pushed through with its 2015 finals) might have made amends with BPCI in order to resume the sending of a 2016 representative.

So with that, let me share with you the important things to bring and remember before filing the application:

When is application period?
BPCI will start accepting applications on Dec. 16, 2015, from 10am-5pm. BPCI Office is located at Uniprom Inc., near Red Gate of Smart Araneta Coliseum. We will accept applications from Monday – Friday. Deadline for submission is on January 15, 2016.

Roommates are important components of any beauty pageant, male or female in nature. They are the individuals who share your most exhausted moments with and respond to concerns whenever urgency is required. They are the ones you speak to at the end of the day, aside from being the newly-found friend to continue communications with long after the competition is over.

In the ongoing Miss Globe 2015, Miss Philippines Ann Lorraine Colis is sharing her room with Miss Nicaragua Desiree Estrada. And the two of them have blended well and treat each other as sisters by now.

Let’s see if both ladies will step up to centerstage to claim placements and/or victories come October 8 at Toronto’s Rose Theater. 🙂

Proud of her flag, Ann is

FB_IMG_1443569571333 One of the activities of the Miss Globe 2015 candidates is the parade that started from Dundas Square where each one proudly carried their respective flags. And Miss Philippines Ann Lorraine Colis was no exception with her displaying the country’s colors.

Some critics might raise eyebrows with the rationale behind the event that could be questioned for the inclusion of the flags. But it’s supposed to show the pride of each participant in the country she represents.

I have to say, though, that our bet is stunning as always. 🙂

Anyways, the other purpose of this post is to encourage everyone to keep on supporting our bet in the Miss Globe 2015 Online Voting to help her secure an automatic semifinal slot for the October 8 finals at Rose Theater.
