Mary Justine Teng of Muntinlupa City is riding on the wave of positivity in her bid to do well in the 50th Mutya ng Pilipinas. After winning the Darling of the Press award during the Press Presentation, she went on to be named as one of the Sol Y Viento Ambassadors before turning in a good presentation that was awarded 2nd Runner-Up in the Best in Terno Competition held at Ascott BGC. She also did one better for Designer Sony Boy Mindo who was chosen as one of the Top 5 Designers with her modern traditional garb made out of indigenous materials.
