Earlier today at the Orchard Ballroom of Ascott BGC, a charming send-off was hosted by Empire.ph in honor of #MissCharmPhilippines2023 Annabelle McDonnell who is all set to fly to Vietnam tomorrow. She will represent the country in the inaugural edition of Miss Charm International. Miss Universe Philippines Charity 2022 Pauline Amelinckx hosted the event, while 2nd Runner-Up Katrina Llegado lent her presence in support of the honoree.
Our bet is in high spirits – and undeniably in top physical form – while answering questions left and right from the invited members of the pageant and mainstream media. She promises to do her best in giving an all-out fight for the bigger crown.
When asked about the personal meaning of #charm, Annabelle simply stated that it just is a quality in her that she can meaningfully exhibit while bringing the best of the Filipino warmth and smarts. Aside from touching on the sustainable tourism focus of the pageant, she plans to forge ahead with the more digital aspects of the same – blockchain technology included.
Annabelle asked everyone for the support in her journey and in the voting component of the competition.
From normannorman.com, here’s wishing you the best in Vietnam. Raise the Philippine flag high and do us proud! 🇵🇭

The Press Presentation of Miss Universe Philippines 2022 was successfully held at the Grand Ballroom of Hilton Manila where the Official Candidates were presented to members of the media and sponsors.
Director for Communications Voltaire Tayag and Steffi Aberasturi hosted the entire event which featured interviews with National Director Shamcey S. Lee and reigning titleholder Beatrice Luigi Gomez.
It was announced that – aside from three former Miss Universe titleholders (Pia Wurtzbach/Demi-Leigh Tebow/Iris Mittenaere) as hosts for the Finals – the reigning Miss Universe Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu of India will be flown in as VIP guest on April 30.
Of the 32 remaining finalists, the reps from Batanes and Ilocos Sur did not make it on time for the same due to reasons beyond their control.
Meanwhile, three candidates were announced as the winners of special awards (Sponsored by Frontrow)
Catwalk Queen – Annabelle Mae Tate McDonnell of Misamis Oriental
Multi-Level Beauty – Michelle Marquez Dee of Makati City
Best Arrival Look – Celeste Cortesi of Pasay City
From hereon now, the ladies will have an exciting three weeks ahead with out-of-town sponsored trips, several photoshoots, pre-pageant activities and more.
#MissUniversePhilippines2022 is presented by Frontrow.
After last year’s jaw-dropping runway challenge entry of Steffi Rose Aberasturi atop the CCLEX Bridge that set the bar high, most everyone else seem to be following the template with a number of Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Official Delegates ramping it up on a bridge somewhere in the respective provinces or cities they represent. Truth be told, that concept is so 2021. In the end, I am more inclined towards something different or with a little extra in store for us viewers.
Cebu Province’s Lou Dominique Piczon focused on fashion walk and her attire instead. Makati City’s Michelle Dee geared up for an edgy klip (yes, with a K for Kumu purposes) that sustained her mystique from start to finish. Misamis Oriental’s Annabelle McDonnell presented three ways of herself in runway form, while Katrina Llegado of Taguig City showed polish and class in her turn.
This online challenge was brought to us by Bragais Shoes Walk.Win and ARTE Party List.
PS My sole honorable mention is Celeste Cortesi of Pasay City.
Having watched all the introduction videos of the Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Official Delegates, I find it tough to assess each entry based solely on how they project themselves while speaking. I added three more #personal parameters:
1. which video did I watch over and over again and enjoyed myself each time;
2. which video was able to maximize the content in just half a minute
3. which video made the delegate truly interesting to want to know her even more
I picked my personal Top 3 from among them:
1. Francheska Alexine Dadivas – Roxas City – she had me at the tiger prawn closeup and a smart wink – two details that quickly promoted the city and then her cool self.
2. Vanessa Caro – Iloilo Province – her voice was so well-modulated that I wanted to listen to every word she said. She can be an effective motivational speaker.
3. Katrina Llegado – Taguig City – she was able to encapsulate a lot about herself in just a short amount of time, and without sounding like she was in a hurry to impress.
Seven Honorable mentions: Celeste Cortesi of Pasay, Pauline Amelinckx of Bohol, Lou Piczon of Cebu Province, Michelle Dee of Makati City, Annabelle McDonnell of Misamis Oriental, Dorothy Gemillan of Iloilo City and Julia Saubier of Albay
In celebration of International Women’s Day, the Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Top 50 Official Delegates answered the question in the title. Below are some of their responses.
