It was a successful staging of the 37th Flores de Mayo 2016 at the SM Mall of Asia yesterday afternoon till early evening. Thirty (30) designers – all members of the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines and the Congrecacion del Santisimo Nombre Del Niño Jesus – showed off their best creations while paying homage to the Virgin Mary and the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary.

Announced as Rosa Mystica is Joyce Ann Ricio wearing a Rholand Roxas number that is intricately-detailed from the crown all the way down to the train. Coming in as Reina de las Flores is Bb. Pilipinas 2016 alumna Jeslyn Santos who gave justice to the oh-so breathtaking Louis Pangilinan white ensemble that takes a wide circumference of the stage and the floor area to navigate around. La Flor de Manila is gorgeous Miss Tourism Queen of the Year International 2015 Leren Mae Bautista in an elegant red Filipiniana that she paraded around with such pride and joy. Completing the four winners are Magandang Pilipina Stephany Stefanowitz who was dressed by Designer Vince Sityar in another red original that the wearer handled with such ease and sophiatication.

Here are photos taken by your blogger and Joy Arguil.

The letter issued by the organizers of MUCP dethroning Mr. Universal Ambassador Philippines 2015 Cris Edwin Navarro

There is the strong whiff of a strange brew coming from Mister United Continents Philippines (MUCP) and one of its titleholders. And both sides have come out in the open.

You see the letter above (issued by the organizers of MUCP) is informing the public that one of their winners, Mister Universal Ambassador Philippines 2015 Cris Edwin Navarro has been dethroned due to exhibiting “character unworthy of the title” and for ignoring his commitments to the Organization.

It was only a matter of time before the dethroned winner posted statements (screenshot below) to defend himself regarding the issue. And what a mouthful of alleged revelations he detailed, which even included Kamel Raad, Mister United Continents 2015.

The way I see it, the root of the problem is the non-release of cash prizes (or at least the promised part of it) which inevitably forced Cris to seek other sources of income to earn his keep. If he is not getting any from the people behind MUCP, then you can’t blame him for finding other means to survive the rising cost of daily living.

I posted the two separate statements above and below not to fan the flames of controversy anymore, but to air both their sides and hopefully reach a clearer denouement on the whole dethronement issue.

The 37 Official Candidates of Mister United Continents Philippines 2015

The 37 Official Candidates of Mister United Continents Philippines 2015

mucp2015avb From among the thirty-seven (37) Official Candidates of Mister United Continents Philippines 2015, I have come up with my choices for the four (4) titles at stake. With the finals only a couple of days away (April 14 at the Tanghalang Pasigueno), here now are the guys I have short-listed as the ones who might figure out well during judgment night.

Aside from the main title, three (3) other recognitions will be handed out – Mr. Universal Ambassador
​Philippines 2015, Mr. Real Universe Philippines 2015 and Mr. Global International Philippines 2015 – all of which have their corresponding international pageant missions to compete in.

My Top 15 (Photos courtesy of Edmund Chua):

Cebu City, Mabalacat City, Angono, Consolacion, Candaba and Nueva Ecija

Navotas City, Candon, Benguet, Sultan Kudarat, Marikina City and Midsayap

Davao, Cordillera Administrative Region and Naga City

My Choices for the Win:

Here are the four of the guys in my Top 8 I am putting bets on

Above are the four other guys who complete my Top 8

Above are the four other guys who complete my Top 8

Since I am not very familiar with the international male competitions where the three other winners will be sent to, I am focusing first on the guy who stands a chance of nailing the Mister United Continents Philippines 2015 title who will take part in Mister United Continents 2015 to be hosted here in Manila late next month.

I am looking at Angono’s Reynaldo Cataluna III and Cebu City’s Reuter Hanz Velano for the top 2 titles. Both are veritable six-footers with that unmistakable international appeal.

As for the two other winners, I would like to see Candaba’s Ricardo de Jesus and Consolacion’s Christopher Joshua Ibañez getting the plum wins. Mabalacat’s Francis Alexis Martinez, Nueva Ecija’s Cris Edwin Navarro, Midsayap’s Kevin Dale Jovellano and Marikina City’s Ahmer Timothy Manalansang are potential climbers to the top.
