Pleased to share with you the Season 2 Finale of Pageantry Norms earlier. I literally labored over this one during the live broadcast because our village had brownout for the most part of the program, so please bear with me.
We will have a season break next week before the Season 3 Premiere on November 29 where my guests will be the freshly-proclaimed winners of Miss Earth 2020 who will head straight to my program just a few hours after the end of the finals on TV5.
Here are airport departure photos of Miss Scuba Philippines 2019 Liz Mabao who left for Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia today to represent the country in Miss Scuba International 2019 which will run until the big finals night at the Magellan Grand Ballroom of Sutera Harbour Resort on November 16.
Our best wishes every single day of your journey! Do us proud!
Liz was sent-off by National Director Cindy Pacia Madduma at Terminal 3.

Miss Scuba Philippines 2017 Sherlyn Doloriel
With ND Cindy Madumma and the two runners-up Danica Acuña & Kristine Eiriel Nolasco
Earlier yesterday afternoon, Miss Scuba Philippines 2017 Sherlyn Doloriel was given her Media Send-Off to Miss Scuba International 2017 in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia where she will attempt to win a second top victory in the competition after (now) National Director Cindy Madumma did it last 2015.
At Rufo’s Famous Tapa in Paseo Center, members of the pageant media plus photographers took turns in asking questions and taking photos of our bet after she was formally awarded – along with two runners-up Danica Acuña and Kristine Eiriel Nolasco the custom-made crystal trophies and good-luck pearl earrings that form part of their prizes as this year’s top finishers.
There is a big weight now on the shoulders of Sherlyn as she really needs to step it up even more after the string of successes shown by our other Beauty Queens in the international stage. She is aware of the importance of placing in the Top 3, if not clinching the title itself come November 18 at the Sutera Harbor.
Her actual journey to the competition won’t be a breeze as she needs to fly from Manila to Kota Kinabalu before the transfer to a domestic flight to another part of Sabah and a 2-hour road trip, followed by a 90-minute beat ride to the actual diving sites where the core activities will be held. But she is ready for the ride!

Her 1st Runner-Up is Danica Acuña of Romblon, followed by 2nd Runner-Up Kristine Eiriel Nolasco of Manila. Named as Marine Ambassadors (all remaining ladies in the Top 8) are Fel Banaybanay, Yana Ibnohajil, Helga Cerbo, Jolina Ann Roque and Elle Hollman.

Sherlyn will have less than a month to prepare for her international competition, but she dreamt of winning this title for so long. She is totally up to the challenge of clinching a second Miss Scuba International win for the Philippines.
Congratulations!!!

It was a very successful staging of the Miss Scuba Philippines 2017 Swimsuit Competition held at the poolside of La Laguna Villas in Puerto Galera. All the fifteen candidates vied for the attention of the judges – most of whom are members of the PGDDRA or Puerto Galera Dive Shop and Dive Resort Association aside from the Puerto Galera Mayor and Vice-Mayor. Special sponsor awards were also handed out prior to the announcement of the Top 3 in swimsuit (by Swimwear Store): Helga Cerbo, Lorin Talosig and Sherlyn Doloriel.
Athena Catriz hosted the proceedings, while National Director Cindy Madumma made sure that everything went well.
Here are photos from the event:

This pageant – however still small and limited in scope – deserves much attention because of their marine conservation advocacy. normannorman.com is giving its 100% support to the organizers because the efforts are definitely in the upswing in the years to come.
Early yesterday morning, the officers and candidates of Miss Scuba Philippines 2017 – along with the production, HMUA team and yours truly – boarded the bus that brought everyone to the Batangas Port en route to Puerto Galera where the Swimsuit Competition will be held later in the day at the La Laguna Villas.
National Director Cindy Pacia Madumma (with partners Athena Catriz & Andrea Delgado) led everyone to the official residence – Out of the Blue Resort – from where the order of the day was to visit different sponsoring dive clubs/centers. The ladies were warmly welcomed by both the locals and foreign tourists. A trip to the Puerto Galera Mangrove Conservation and EcoTourism Walkway made the long day more meaningful as high school students assisted the candidates in the planting of mangrove seedlings inspite of the rains that could have spoiled the activity. All of them were game, though.
After today’s preliminaries, tomorrow will be a morning dive before returning to Manila in the afternoon. Here are more photos from Day 1 of the stay.
Meet the fourteen (14) lovely ladies who make up the roster of Official Candidates for Miss Scuba Philippines 2017. One of them will eventually be crowned as our representative to Miss Scuba International 2017 to be held in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia come November.

Cindy is full of eagerness and excitement to go full steam ahead with the task of finding the successor of last year’s Meryl Angelyn King. The challenge is to mount a proper national finals where she plans to assemble fifteen (15) finalists to vie for the title. No hand-picked delegate or an appointed one this time around. And our new ND promises to make this year’s edition a good one without sacrificing quality and production value.
