Just when you thought that you’re filled to the brim with national beauty contests sprouting left and right, here comes Eat Bulaga on GMA Network which has just started the search for Miss Millenial Philippines 2017. No, this is not one of those gimmicky segment fillers of the popular noontime show. It is actually a proper beauty pageant participated in by close to forty (40) candidates who won in their respective provinces plus a few others who have already participated in other national competitions such as Dianne Lacayanga of Ilocos Norte & Jaila Ragindin of Bataan in Mutya ng Pilipinas and Sofia Panapanaan in Miss Philippines Earth. The focus is on local tourism and how each participant will enthusiastically promote her place of origin while presenting herself as the best version of the female millenial for 2017.

Below is a photo grid of the candidates.

The big difference in this pageant is the candidates’ frequent exposures on nationwide TV with the different stages of the competition televised daily. And for sure, the supporters of each of them will come in droves to cheer and make noise all the way.

More on Miss Millenial Philippines 2017 in the days and weeks to come.

Busy as a bee. That is how Andrea’s days will be till he leaves for Bali on September 20


Gentlemen of the Philippines – Universal Ambassador 2016 Andrea Biondo’s preparations for Mister Universal Ambassador 2016 are – quite literally – hectic nowadays. From gym workouts to skin treatments to dental appointments to clothes fitting to product launches to new endorsements to TV/Radio guestings to media interviews to dance talent training to Q&A sessions – name it. The past week and a half saw him doing all of these activities. And the schedule won’t be free in the upcoming days ahead leading to his departure for Bali, Indonesia on September 20.

Andrea will have more personal appearances soon. He will hold his Heart of Ambassador Charity Project – “Run for the Win” – this coming Saturday at the Quezon City Memorial Circle for the benefit of Barangay Pansol Youth Organization (BPYO) which will be his main cause/advocacy for the international competition. He is going for Health & Fitness for the Youth. And on the night of the same date, he will be showing up in the Pre-Pageant judging (along with yours truly) of Mr. Gay World Philippines at the Trinity University of Asia Theater together with Mr. Model International Philippines 2016 Job Abogado. And on Sunday, it will be his intimate send-off to Bali where the whole team of Gentlemen Charities Incorporated (GCI) including fellow titleholders and candidates-brothers from Gentlemen of the Philippines will mix with members of the Press plus sponsors and friends who truly support him.

With the help of the Aldub fans, Aldub Maiden Nation, Comedian Allan K and Eat Bulaga, Andrea jumped from #8 to #1 in the website voting!


Please keep sending love for him in the three areas of Mister Universal Ambassador voting: Popularity via the pageant’s Facebook page, Official Voting via the pageant’s website and via Instagram @misteruniversalambassador. This is going to be the biggest male competition this year after assembling sixty-two (62) confirmed delegates so far. Your back-up will be much appreciated.

All for the love of our Gentlemen of the Philippines – Universal Ambassador 2016


All for the love of Andrea. 😉

A new career on TV is making Patricia more popular among the masses

Patricia Tumulak, Eat Bulaga’s HBD Girl

Patricia Tumulak has beautifully moved on. She is done with pageantry – be it Bb. Pilipinas or her withdrawn participation in Miss Multiverse. She is now on TV and how. Her popularity is gradually soaring. Thanks in big part to her becoming the HBD (Happy Birthday) girl of the long-time hit noontime show “Eat Bulaga” on GMA-7. She is capturing the heart of the masses and is in fact being regularly thrown in the company of the famous Yaya Dub (or Maine Mendoza) who shares the same March 3 birthdate with her.

Methinks she will really find her niche on the small screen. And hosting fits her well.

Watch her dance performance during Eat Bulaga Pa More now.

Sunday Senti Specials: Precious Lara Quigaman before Bb. Pilipinas and Miss International

Before she won Bb. Pilipinas International 2005 and Miss International 2005, Precious Lara Quigaman took part in Eat Bulaga's TeeVee Babe

image Let’s take a trip down memory lane to 2001 in our Sunday Senti Specials. Back during the time when Precious Lara Quigaman participated in the TeeVee Babe contest of GMA-7’s Eat Bulaga, nobody would have thought that she would become big in the pageant world. Four years after that stint on the lunchtime variety show, her fate will be baptized with a win as Bb. Pilipinas International 2005, and soon as the country’s 4th Miss International winner.

Lara is now an accomplished character actress on TV, a book co-author and a happy wife & mother. Funny but I really never lost sight of her almost every Sunday. We both live in the south and regularly eat lunch at Alabang Town Center. I’ve seen her from the days when she was still single to her being wife to Marco Alcaraz and now a devoted mother. Still very beautiful and slim. And friendly.

Let’s watch part of her video during the TeeVee Babe 2001 Grand Finals where she was named 1st Runner-Up.

Miss World Philippines 2014 Valerie Clacio Weigmann

Very recently, Miss World Philippines 2014 Valerie Weigmann made a brief TV homecoming in “Eat Bulaga“, the noontime variety show that considerably built her name among the masses. She actually reunited with Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola and Paolo Ballesteros in the ‘All for Juan, Juan for All’ segment where she finally confirmed that she will indeed be performing a magic act for her talent in the upcoming Miss World 2014.

While she doesn’t have any grand ambitions of displaying an act that will put David Blaine and DMC to shame, I am pretty certain that she will polish her performance to merit an applause from the judges and possibly an inclusion in the short-list of candidates who will get the spotlight in the Talent fast track finals.

This is the only part where I am still hoping for more excitement and precision in Valerie. And knowing her diligence, she must have already reserved a few days under the serious tutelage of a reputable magician to help perfect her new tricks. 😉

The ladies "looking up" with Ryzza Mae

Earlier in the day, the Official Candidates of Miss Grand Philippines 2014 had a live guesting in GMA-7’s popular noontime program “Eat Bulaga” where they had a fun time bonding with the show’s resident child star Ryzza Mae Dizon and the other hosts. And if that’s not enough, they will have another TV appearance in the network’s variety late-nighter “Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman“. Starting next week, all of them will be busy with Monday’s preliminaries at Emar Suites Events Place followed by rehearsals for Saturday’s finals night at the GT-Toyota Asian Cultural Center.

Good luck, girls! 😀

Nigerian bet wins Super Sireyna Worldwide 2014

Miss Sahhara or Iris Sahhara Henson from Nigeria was crowned Super Sireyna Worldwide 2014.

The eight Super Sireyna Worldwide 2014 Contenders were truly outstanding.

A brave Nigerian beauty who suffered physical abuses in her native land due to her sexual orientation and who fled to the UK to seek a more peaceful and freedom-laced life was crowned Super Sireyna Worldwide 2014 during the finals held in GMA-7’s Eat Bulaga earlier today. Miss Sahhara or Iris Sahhara Henson led the competition for the most part of the event. Even if the bets of Venezuela and the Philippines were considered more highly-favored and all-around gorgeous, the articulate winner scored high during the final Q&A and had the title in the bag from that point. When the top three placers were proclaimed, Isabella Santiago of Venezuela finished 3rd and Trixie Maristela of the Philippines 2nd.

Congratulations, Miss Sahhara! 😀
