This national costume was Inspired by Hannah’s favourite toy (gifted by her mother) as a child: a Barbie wearing a Maria Clara Filipiniana, which Manny Halasan took inspiration from and mixed it with his own fond childhood memories of his grandfather’s antique tambourine.
Manny Halasan wants us to remember our childhood experiences and look back on our past through this classic traditional Filipiniana.

I will cut to the chase. The 60th Miss International is a neck and neck battle between Tatiana Calmell del Solar of Peru and Hannah Arnold of the Philippines. The way I see it, they both exude the brand’s template and would do wonders for the organization should either of them become the successor of Sireethorn Leearamwat.
Adding two more names to the fray – Zoya Afroz of India and Julianna Ro of Spain – will just strengthen the tent poles, but the focus will still return to Tati and Hannah in my opinion.
In my forecasted Top 15 above, I included three (3) possible givens. These are the ladies who are likely to have topped the popularity voting as of last uploaded count. And they are Pham Ngoc Phuong Anh of Vietnam for Asia/Oceania, Stephany Amado of Cabo Verde for Africa/Europe and the Peruvian beauty for the Americas. I already expected the first two to make it to the first cut regardless.
As for my remaining selections, there are Natalia Lopez Cardona of Colombia, Jasmin Selberg of Germany, Adela Maderycova of the Czech Republic and Cindy May McGuire of Indonesia who may act as spoilers.
And for those bringing up the rear in my grid, let’s see if anyone among Yuridia Duran of Mexico, Corrin Stellakis of the USA, Paola Gonzalez Torres of Puerto Rico, Maya Albert of France and Oceane Bellow of Togo can spring a surprise.
Good luck to all 66 candidates!

Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) fetes an exclusive send-off for Binibining Pilipinas International 2021 Hannah Arnold at the Monet Ballroom 2 of Novotel Manila Araneta City earlier today.
The gathering showered Arnold with love and support from her Binibini sisters, members of the press, and family and friends as she suits up for the 60th Miss International pageant at the Tokyo Dome City Hall in Japan. A special message from BPCI Chairperson Stella Marquez-Araneta was also relayed to Arnold during the event.
During the send-off, Hannah thanked her fans and supporters, and expressed hope for support as she vies for the country’s 7th Miss International crown.

The 2022 edition of Miss International celebrates the pageant’s 60th anniversary with the campaign #BeautiesForSDGs. It will highlight 75 beautiful contestants from around the world as they help promote the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. The campaign aims to immerse Miss International candidates in spreading awareness, as well as actively taking part in SDGs initiatives in their own country or region.
Arnold, a forensic scientist from Masbate, is an ambassador of the country’s Department of Science and Technology. She is an advocate of science and education, and helps provide reading and writing materials to children in far-flung towns in the country. And recently, she joined the Academy of Rock to join its feeding program initiative and teach food management and production.
She is an HIV awareness advocate and a long-time partner of Love Yourself PH, a community of volunteers that provides free HIV testing, counseling, treatment, and life coaching.

About Hannah Arnold’s Sustainable Development Goal #1
Sustainable Development Goal 1: End poverty in all forms everywhere.
I discovered today that by sharing knowledge with a stranger or teaching a skill to a relative, you can spark a new passion or hobby in them and can help create livelihood.
It’s a beautiful butterfly effect of working together through knowledge and it brings an opportunity to reset and bring back years of progress against poverty that was erased by Covid-19.
Sir Patrick (Mergano) and I realised that by sharing an activity we knew, of making liquid dishwashing soap, the attendees of todays workshop can now continue to make their own dishwashing soap for use in their homes, they can also teach their neighbours and/ or can even sell their products too.
What’s a skill or activity you know that you will pass on to someone else? 🫱🏻🫲🏽🫶🏼

Hi! Norman here. When I'm not working, I spend most of my free time planning on daily blogs. If you will notice, I always make sure that a fresh topic comes out everyday - not an easy thing to do but it's all good. Thanks for dropping by and enjoy the visit!
