Meet the Creative Consultant of Miss Universe UAE (United Arab Emirates). She is none other than former Bb. Pilipinas World Maggie Wilson!
Josh Yugen is the President and National Director.
I feel that both Josh and Maggie can bring a classy and sophisticated feel to the inaugural edition of the pageant.
Kudos to you!

The ribbon cutting was performed by TV5 actress Ritz Azul who is the spa’s celebrity endorser. In attendance were Bb. Pilipinas Tourism 1993 Jenette Fernando (the aunt of Danielle) , Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2008 Jennifer Barrientos and Bb. Pilipinas International 2014 Bianca Guidotti. Representatives from ABS-CBN, GMA-7 and TV5 were also spotted among the selected guests.
Now, if you’ll get to see the large billboards of the place along C-5 and SLEX, Designer Bessie Besana (photo below) created the attires with Raymond Saldaña doing the photography.

Check out the place one of these days! Danielle will be more than happy to welcome you. You can also tell her that you discovered the spa through normannorman.com 😀

You all know by now that we have two gorgeous Filipinas representing us in the flower-themed Miss ASEAN 2012 currently being hosted by Chiang Rai in the northernmost part of Thailand. And as if it’s not enough that our former Bb. Pilipinas World Marie-Ann Umali is in it, the eternally curvaceous MJ Lastimosa has also joined the fray to make the competition more difficult for the organizers.
Two Miss Philippines. Two Miss Indonesias. Who’s the prettiest?
The Miss ASEAN ladies visit the Golden Triangle.
I am not in any way belittling the entries from other regional nations, but our two solid and experienced delegates are so polished that the hosts were thrilled to no end upon seeing them during arrivals the other day. Marie-Ann and MJ are constantly swarmed by the locals for photo ops, just as their fellow candidates are simply in awe of their beauties. I can’t see how we are going to lose this title. And that’s the truth.
Two Miss Philippines. Two Miss SIngapores. Who’s the prettiest?
By the way, the finals for Miss ASEAN 2012 is scheduled this coming Sunday, December 23. Who will the winner be? Take your pick! Two outstanding Pinays. Only one crown at stake. 😉
Who will it be – MJ (left) or Marie-Ann?

This pretty Bulakenya – who resembles actress Angel Locsin from some angles – tried her luck with Mutya ng Pilipinas last 2009 when she was just 18 and was fortunate to have reached the semi-finals. However, she lost the crown to Jane Banares but remained unfazed by the outcome. This year, she is back with a vengeance. Armed with a whistle-bait figure, gloriously brown skin and a clean, well-styled self, she is targetting a Binibining Pilipinas crown to prove that she has what it takes to become a beauty queen.
Now here’s the all-important question. Is she winnable? Well, it depends on how her communication skills will improve between now and the April coronation night. You see, Jenroe leaves much to be desired when asked to express herself in speech. We have to accept the fact that the Philippine representative cannot rely on speaking in the vernacular once competing abroad. True, the winners will be trained by Dale Carnegie, but even before being crowned, a candidate should be able to carry herself through Q&As without embarrassing herself. With that in mind, I can only wish Jenroe lots of luck in the pageant. 😉
