This year wasn’t the best for Philippine pageantry internationally, but not the worst either. It’s middling around the average range and pushing higher than 2019 and significantly compared to 2020. Keep in mind that I included only the competitions that I blogged about.

The Miss Globe – Maureen Montagne

Mr Gay World 2021 – Joel Carcasona

If I missed anyone worth including/following, please reply in the comment section below. I’m just too happy that international pageantry has slowly stepped out of its lockdown shell. Hopefully, it will be so much better in 2022, omicron variant notwithstanding.
PS Samantha Bernardo’s 1st Runner-Up placement in MGI2020 should also be included above.
My bad.
Earlier in the day at the brand-new Kingsford Hotel Manila in Bayshore City, Miss World Philippines 2021 Tracy Maureen Perez was given her proper sendoff to Miss World 2021 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was such a well-attended event that the hotel officials were very pleased with the turnout of guests. 
Mexico 🇲🇽 scored a back-to-back victory with Andrea Bazarte winning the crown of Reina Hispanoamericana 2021.
If the National Costume looks familiar, it’s because the ensemble was also worn by Maureen Wroblewitz (left photo) during Miss Universe Philippines 2021. This creation was shared by Designer Louis Pangilinan to Miss Filipinas Emmanuelle Vera for Reina Hispanoamericana 2021. This is a perfectly understandable move because our bet had barely two weeks of preparation for the pageant in Bolivia. Creating a new natcos from scratch would require a lot longer time than what can be possibly allowed.
Here are photos of Miss Filipinas Emmanuelle Vera during the fashion parade in Potosinos, the visit to La Paz and Sta. Cruz in Bolivia.
Finally, here are photos of Miss Philippines Maureen Montagne during the Question-And-Answer segment for The MISS GLOBE Beauty Pageant 2021.
Here are photos from the send-off event of Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2021 Emmanuelle Vera who is all set to depart for Sta. Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia this weekend to represent us in Reina Hispanoamericana 2021.
Le damos la bienvenida Miss Filipinas en Reina Hispanoamericana – Emmanuelle Vera!
Apologies for the delay in updates. The Finals of Miss World Philippines 2021 took all of six (6) hours to finish. I actually fell asleep while watching a good chunk of the live stream.
