The Virtual Finals of Mr. Fahrenheit 2021 produced our representative to Mr. Gay World 2021. He is now Mr. Gay World Philippines 2021 and represented Cebu Province in the competition. His name is Joel Rey Carcasona, a 28 year-old nurse who works as a Financial Associate. He is into blogging and the performing arts, while leading an active lifestyle by joining marathons and going to the gym regularly.

Along with Mr Gay World Philippines 2020 Leonard Kodie Macayan, Joel will take part in the twin-virtual stagings of two editions for Mr Gay World which will take place one week apart late next month.

Interestingly, the finals had a Q&A segment that threw some of the most difficult pageant questions that are LGBTQi+ related. But fortunately for Joel, he was able to compose himself well to impress the judges which included beauty queens Samantha Bernardo, Emma Tiglao, Angelee delos Reyes & Roxie Baeyens plus online influencers Zeinab Hareke, Jelai Andres and more.

Mr Fahrenheit and Mr Gay World Philippines is organized by National Director Wilbert Tolentino who is now a widely-followed vlogger on FB and Youtube.

Congratulations, Joel!

Do us proud in Mr Gay World 2021!

Reunited for one last time

During yesterday’s Press Conference and Swimsuit Preliminaries of Binibining Pilipinas 2021, Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2019 Aya Abesamis wore the very same gown by Renee Magtibay Salud that her mom – Bb. Pilipinas Universe 1984 Desiree Verdadero Abesamis – wore during the Finals of Miss Universe 1984 en route to a 3rd Runner-Up placement.

Yesterday’s Swimsuit Preliminaries will be shown as part of the Finals on July 11. But tonight, the National Costume Competition will premiere on the pageant’s YouTube Channel at 7pm.

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.

The Evolution of Emma Tiglao from Beauty Queen to News Anchor

I am loving the way Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2019 Emma Tiglao has started to reinvent herself. From national beauty queen, she is now one of the newscasters for Mata Ng Agila of NET 25 Eagle Broadcasting Center which airs Mondays to Fridays from 6-8pm.

This is a perfect example of how to expand one’s reach and influence beyond the crown. And Emma is indeed transforming into a more professional version of herself.

Kudos to you, my dear❣️

A Weekend of Live Discussions on FB Live via Zoom

Looks like it’s going to be a busy weekend ahead for me with online panel discussions about pageantry and more.

This coming Saturday, May 23 at 4:00PM, get ready for the Quezon Pageant Powerhouse (QPP) Forum – a live online discussion where the first topic will aptly be:

“Embracing the New Normal in Pageantry”

Join me along with Miss Galaxy Philippines 2019 Ma Andrea Endicio and Bb. Niyogyugan 2019 Top 10 Finalist and Founder of ABYSS Gwyneth Abarquez. Ginoo at Binibining Candelaria Creative and Marketing Director Yam Arellano will host/moderate the exciting exchange of ideas.

Mark the date.

And on the day after – Sunday, May 24 at 2:00PM on the Facebook page of José Rizal University – another forum via Zoom cloud meetings will happen along with some esteemed personalities.

“The Promise of A Beauty Queen: Purpose. Substance. Inspiration.”

I will be sharing the spotlight with national beauty queens Emma Tiglao and Janelle Tee, the reigning Miss Mandaluyong Roni Meneses, Life Coach Ma Romina Gemini Brion Zabala, Q&A Coach Dr. Jace Chiong and Rodgil Flores of Kagandahang Flores.

Backgrounder: The societal disruptions due to COVID-19 can take a toll on mental health. Some are better equipped to cope than others and some need a little boost. We got you.

More than being a beauty queen is having the power to inspire others-the power to serve others and society.

Let us find out the PURPOSE DRIVEN endeavors in this heartfelt session.

Join US!

Are these Beauty Queens bound to have the longest Bb. Pilipinas reigns ever?

You guys might wonder why I included only four ladies in the photo grid above. For the purpose of the subject of this blog entry, I skipped on Miss Universe Philippines 2019 Gazini Ganados because the Miss Universe franchise is no longer with BPCI (so technically, the end of her reign will still be dependent on the finalized date of Miss Universe Philippines 2020 – on the other side – regardless of whether she crowns her successor or not). I also did not include Bb. Pilipinas Grand International Aya Abesamis because she formally assumed the title just last January 19, 2020.

And so, that leaves us with Bb. Pilipinas International 2019 Atty. Bea Patricia Magtanong, Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2019 Resham Ramirez Saeed, Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2019 Emma Tiglao and Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2019 Leren Mae Bautista.

The Bb. Pilipinas 2019 Coronation Night was held June 9 last year. And with the continuing uncertainties brought about by the COVID19 global pandemic and ECQ, the overall feasibility of holding the finals of Bb. Pilipinas 2020 anytime soon will also be affected. The constant movement of dates could not be helped. Even if everything has been reset for June, the possibility of scrapping this year’s finals altogether still looms in the horizon.

Thus, it bears reasonable logic that Patch, Resham, Emma and Leren are bound to have the longest Bb. Pilipinas reigns ever, unless BPCI is brave enough to have Bb. Pilipinas 2020 staged by early third quarter. Should that happen, the 1994 winners will still be the longest-reigning queens since they were crowned October, 1993 (adjusted earlier due to the hosting of Miss Universe 1994 in Manila) and relinquished their crowns March, 1995 (a period of one year and five months roughly). And Patch will only be the second longest reigning Bb. Pilipinas International (there were no BBP Supranational, BBP Intercontinental and BBP Globe titles yet during 1994).

Now if the 2020 edition will significantly move forward to early 2021 or even beyond the first quarter, then the foursome will be the record holders. I don’t want to look at things going that far, though.

As they say in Pilipino, “…idaraos o itatawid ang patimpalak sa pinakamaagang petsa na wala nang magiging malawakang problema sa bansa.” As to when, only a coronavirus-free period can tell.

For now, let me leave you with a photo of Gazini Ganados who was nominated by Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach to do the “See A Smile, Send A Smile Challenge” of Smile Train Philippines for all our frontliners.
