After tonight’s Press Presentation of Manhunt International 2020 at F1 Hotel Manila where the 36 Official Candidates were introduced to members of the media, normannorman.com has managed to select its Top 12 Favorites based on overall looks, appeal and impact. For now, my #1 choice is Nikos Antonopoulos of Greece 🇬🇷 (right photo) because he represents the Manhunt brand all-around with a dash of personality being an Archaeologist and Travel Guide. He is also very handsome!

Nikos Antonopoulos of Greece 🇬🇷

He is followed by Matheus Giora of Brazil who is a Physical Therapist 🇧🇷 and Paul Luzineau of the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

The others in my Top 12 are:
Yekta Baki of Turkey 🇹🇷
Daumier Corilla of the Philippines 🇵🇭
Elvir Aljicevic of Sweden 🇸🇪
Williams Ocampos of Paraguay 🇵🇾
Phạm Đình Lĩnh of Vietnam 🇻🇳
Sajith Perera of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Yeray Hidalgo Hernández of Spain 🇪🇸
Mayur Gangwani of India 🇮🇳
Riley Channells of Australia 🇦🇺

Best of luck to everyone!

We hope that reigning winner Vicent Llorach of Spain will be succeeded by the most deserving contender.

The Miss Philippines Earth 2018 Beauty of Figure Pre-Judging

During the Beauty of Figure Pre-Judging of Miss Philippines Earth 2018 held at the F1 Hotel Manila in BGC, the veils were no longer there. And in its place, hats and big shades took over – an improvement I might add. It would have been better though if the venue was similar to previous years.

Watch the video clip below.

The MPE2017 Candidates with last night’s judges for the Beauty of Face Pre-Judging


The order for last night’s Beauty of Face Preliminary Judging for Miss Philippines Earth 2017 at F1 Hotel Manila was loud and clear. Faces will be judged. No make-ups. No frills. Just plain natural looks that should be projected by each candidate. And the ladies followed.

All dressed in white, they paraded in front of the judges – composed of Photographer Raymund Isaac, Designer Mixy Valencia, Beauty Queens Justine Gabionza & Priscilla Meirelles, Personality Coach Ping Valencia and Fashion Stylist/Model Bea Constantino.

Check out some of the photos below. A lot of them actually looked more fetching without heavy makeup and in person so judging was not the easiest.

This should be fun.

Tonight, after the final Resorts Wear preliminaries, a special event will take place where the Miss Earth 2013 candidates will have a friendly poolside match with members of the Philippine Volcanoes. Brazilian hunk Daniel Matsunaga will have a special participation as well.

I reckon that it won’t be a rugby thingy because of the small size of the venue, but friendly games only the Miss Earth organizers can come up with.

Proceeds from this activity will go to the ST Yolanda victims and Miss Earth Foundation. It will all happen at F1 Hotel Manila. 😉

Angelee, Andjelka and Alyz: Starting to shine

The names starting with ‘A’ are purely coincidental. I just realized the common letter upon coming up with a title for this post. Be that as it may, the three ladies were indeed noteworthy in yesterday’s Press Presentation of the Miss Earth 2013 candidates at the F1 Hotel.

Alyz Heinrich of Venezuela is an alluring sight to behold. With her unique blue swimsuit matching the water theme this year, she commanded presence everytime she makes a pose and even when not in the spotlight.

Andjelka Tomasevic of Serbia, on the other hand, effortlessly projected her sensuously delightful appeal. With a face that draws oohs and aahs from the spectators around, she knows how to pull them in and makes sure that the attention is well-deserved the minute she flashes her smile and curvaceous body.

And host delegate Angelee delos Reyes is not about to be outshadowed by her more than 80 competitors. She exuded her flirty side in a way that is neither wholesome nor in excess. The swing of her hips, coupled with carefully-practiced hand gestures, elicit approval from the crowds who could only clap in unison.

Will this trio of A-beauties continue to shime in the days to come? I can certainly answer yes to that. Individually, they may already have their game plans in place as early as Day 1. 😉
