Best of MisOr: Miss Kuyamis 2019 Chella Falconer

Chella with AsNTM winner Maureen Wroblewitz

During last week’s finals of Miss Kuyamis 2019 at the Tagoloan Dome in Misamis Oriental, a 19 year-old beauty from the Municipality of Medina outclassed nineteen (19) other contenders to be the best in the annual pageant that celebrates the beauty, tourism and culture of the Northern Mindanao province. Her name is Chella Grace Falconer.

Chella is no pageant newbie. In fact, she already took part in Mutya ng Pilipinas 2017 where she placed in the Top 10. She was only 17 back then. This time around, she returned with an entirely polished version of herself to be the unanimous choice of the judges to win the Miss Kuyamis title and become the representative of Misamis Oriental in the national competition of either Miss Millennial Philippines 2019 or Miss Earth Philippines 2019.

I love it that provincial pageants have already managed to keep pace with the production of their national counterparts. And with the leadership of Governor Bambi Emano and Provincial Tourism Officer Atty Jeffrey Saclot, the finals was a big success. It was mounted seamlessly under the direction of Dennis Almazan, with Celebrity Designer Bea Bianca providing the swimwear and evening gowns of the ladies. A tribute was also given to two of their successful homegrown achievers – Miss Earth Philippines Water 2018 Berjayneth Chee and Miss Millennial Philippines 2018 1st Runner-Up Danna Rose Socaoco.

Watch out for more of Chella this year as she prepares herself for the even bigger challenge of winning in the national level and bringing more pride to the entire MisOr.

The video production above made by Gelbert Aplal for Rodgil Flores Production is the commemorative special for the 50th Mutya ng Pilipinas which also cooncided with the launch of the coffee table book “Mutya” that happened during the Homecoming of previous titleholders last Wednesday night at the Ascott BGC.

Below are some photos from the said event where past Queens united/reunited for an evening of glam, reminiscing and sisterhood bonding. The current batch of candidates also took part in the momentous occasion.

A toast to 50 Glorious Years of Mutya ng Pilipinas!

While everything is still fresh inside my head, allow me to share the ladies of the 50th Mutya Ng Pilipinas who performed well during the Swimsuit and Long Gown Preliminaries held at the Ballroom Hall of Ascott Bonifacio Global City Manila.

The pre-judging is an entirely different ballgame now as the contenders started to shine more fiercely. The playing field is starting to get narrowed down from a “difficult-to-assess” group of 50 to a more manageable shortlist that I chose to cut in half. According to their respective numbers now, my Top 25 performers last night are:

3 Ebony Bangit
4 Rein Hillary Carrascal
6 Gezza Avila
8 Arianne Deseree M Viardo
9 Mae Kimberly Deluna
11 Odessa Dela Cuesta
13 Anie Uson*
16 Shanon Stampon
19 Sharifa Akeel*
20 Jessica Duhay
21 Nina Ancheta*
22 Jeserey Sanchez
23 Agatha Romero
24 Pauline Amelinckx*
25 Bettina Eleanor Dingemans
27 Allison Lorenzo
30 Kesha Ramachandran*
33 Shaira Portugal
34 Franchesca Delino Camargo
35 Teemee Miguel
39 Honey Grace Cartasano
41 Julie Ann Gil
42 Kristine Malicsi
46 Aya Fernandez
48 Mary Justine Teng

* – indicates that they really stood out better than the rest in the two segments of competition judged.

As for the ladies who were given important special awards last night, here they are:

Best in Long Gown: Sharifa Akeel of Sultan Kudarat
1st RU Nina Ancheta of Los Angeles
2nd RU Kesha Ramachandran of Iloilo

Best in Swimsuit: Nina Ancheta of Los Angeles
1st RU Kristine Malicsi of Navotas

Also, here are the Five Best Evening Gown Creations for the 50th Mutya Ng Pilipinas and they were worn by:

Rein Hillary Carrascal (for Harold Borlado)
Agatha Romero (for Daniel Manila)
Sharifa Akeel (for Jay-r Gamboa Flores)
Kesha Ramachandran (for Alfie Jolo Desamparado)
and Odessa Dela Cuesta (for Bea Bianca)

Meanwhile, the Special Award Winners from Sponsors are as follows:

From the minute the plane landed in Laguindingan Airport, the entire Province of Misamis Oriental rolled out the red carpet to the visiting beauties of Miss Earth Philippines 2018 along with Miss Earth 2017 Karen Ibasco, Miss Earth Philippines Fire 2017 Ella Bautista and Carousel Productions’ VP Peachy Veneracion. Your blogger was given a special invitation to be part of the delegation and I must say that the Provincial Tourism Department of MisOr made sure that each activity was an exciting one, while actively promoting the tourism efforts started by its beloved and indefatigable Governor Yevgeny Vincente “Bambi” Emano.

After checkin at Appletree Resort and Hotel in Opol, a lovely dinner was hosted at the plush Ultrawinds Mountain Resort on the first night, then it was off to a morning radio guesting with the Governor for Lambo Misamis Oriental, a fashion show (featuring the Summer Collection of Designer Bea Bianca) and travel magazine launch at the Centrio Mall, Press Conference with the Misamis Oriental members of the media, speedboat rides to breathtaking Agutayan White Island, a trek to Sagpulon Falls, a peek into the Sailfin Lizard Farm in Jasaan, a promotional appearance at the Misamis Oriental Farmers Market and a Meet-and-Greet with all the Provincial Capitol heads and employees. To cap off everything, a sumptuous dinner buffet at Panagatan Restaurant was served before boarding a late flight out of Laguindingan last night.

Thank you once more to Governor Bambi Emano and Tourism Officer Atty. Jeffrey Saclot for the continuously warm hospitality given to everyone.
