How do you like your Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo with simple yet classy (or soft glam if you will) makeup courtesy of Carissa Cielo Medved?
Miss Universe Philippines National Director gives an ethereal presence in her latest editorial shoot captured by Seven Barretto. The long Rapunzel-like hair and the look that spells an almost sacred aura make her float in dreamy clouds amidst a dusky atmosphere. Beautiful❣️ 
When you start the year right, the results are fresh – and with an almost tingling sensation – just by looking at these new photos of Miss Universe Philippines 2020 3rd Runner-Up Pauline Amelinckx. Caressed in pink and half-submerged in water, she is a sight to behold!

Ever wondered about the individuals behind Aces & Queens now?
When the new pictorial of Reina Hispanoamericana 2017 landed in my inbox (thanks to my dear friend Voltaire Tayag of Rappler), I immediately thought of using the popular phrase “…a rose by any other name…” from William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet as inspiration for this blog entry. This wonderful lady – who is always a joy to work with – decided to use Teresita as her public name right before, during and after her successful stint in Bolivia. But somehow, the showbiz affiliation is so strong that the popular nickname of “Win-Wyn” just could not be erased that easily from the minds of everyone.
This latest photoshoot was a special one because our Queen herself had a say in every shot taken. The overall atmosphere, though, was fun and relaxed that everyone in the studio enjoyed doing all the layouts and did not mind the time at all.
Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2018 Michele Gumabao would have easily qualified as member of the country’s Women’s Volleyball team currently competing in Jakarta-Palembang, Indonesia for the 18th Asian Games. But being one of our crowned national titleholders, she had to choose the responsibility of representing the Philippines on another front.
