Here are some photos from the thanksgiving dinner hosted by ProMedia for Miss World Philippines 2022 Gwen Fourniol held at Heat Restaurant, Edsa Shangri-La, Manila.

It was such a well-attended event with several members of the pageant and print media committing their support for Gwen’s bid for the country’s second Miss World crown.

Power couple Paul Izon Reyes and Jam Aquino – along with Gwen’s mother Sim and older brother Pierre-Alexandre – added special touches to the entire proceedings.

Late yesterday afternoon, a meet-and-greet event was held at the Celestial Ballroom of Luxent Hotel in honor of Miss World Philippines 2022 official candidate Gwendolyn Fourniol of Negros Occidental. Organized by ProMedia Philippines headed by power couple Paul Izon and Jam Aquino (left photo), the 21 year-old Filipina-French beauty was formally introduced to more than two dozen members of the pageant media that convinced everyone of her good chances in figuring out well in the competition.

Gwen showed flair in answering just about any type of question thrown at her. She showed her independent-minded spirit while maintaining poise all around. In the video above, she explained to this blogger what Pinoy and French qualities are inherent in her to come up with a potential big winner come June 5.

Trilingual as she is, Gwen fluently speaks English and French, and can do more than conversational Filipino. She is mighty proud of her Pinoy heritage which can be traced in the Himamaylan and Kabankalan regions of Negros Occidental. Asked about what song describes her personality, she named the popular French classic “La Vie En Rose” – a reflection of her positivity as a young individual. She gamely obliged everyone with some lines from the song below.

Gwen is looking more and more like a potential spoiler in the national pageant. Given that this is already her second stint in Miss World Philippines, she took great effort in transforming herself into a highly competitive challenger – ready to win the highest crown possible if the stars align in her favor.

Let’s wish her the best in all the remaining weeks of the pageant before the crowning of winners at the MOA Arena on June 5.

Here are some coverage photos from the sashing and crowning of Miss Elite Philippines 2021 Shanon Tampon during the Press Conference hosted by ProMedia and The Belle Salon at the Laurel Mansion in Mandaluyong.

Shanon is 100% ready to represent the Philippines in Miss Elite World that will be hosted in Somabay, Red Sea, Egypt this coming June.


Right after the above, the formal introduction of the beautiful Roxie Baeyens as the new National Director of Miss Bikini Philippines took place in a separate Press Conference hosted by ProMedia, The Belle Salon, UltraLife and Empire Marketing Corporation.

Roxie effectively assumes the position. She is fully supported by Miss Fit Philippines ND Chelsea Fernandez, and will be at the forefront of this year’s search for the next Queen who will epitomize beauty, health and fitness.

The same event was graced by the other #PromediaBeautyAthletes such as Elda Aznar, Yllana Marie Aduana, Fatima Kate Bisan, Anjame Santos Magbitang, Natasha Jung and Miss Eco Teen 2020 Roberta Tamondong.

Shanon Tampon: A dark horse for Binibining Pilipinas 2021

Shanon during the Pre-Pageant Swimsuit Presentation of Binibining Pilipinas 2021

Yesterday, I had an intimate lunch at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in Podium with Binibini Shanon Tampon and her co-handlers – power couple Paul Izon Reyes and Jam Aquino of ProMedia and UltraLife. The purpose of the meeting was to give the Caloocan beauty some extra coaching and a firmer mindset as the homestretch of Binibining Pilipinas 2021 approaches.

You see, the lockin of the candidates will start on Monday, July 5 – a week-long stay at Novotel Manila Araneta City in view of the rehearsals and final assessments of the 34 Binibinis before the winners are crowned on July 11. And during this period, it is a must to maintain the proper disposition. Winning is the objective, but desperation is never an option. There needs to be a wholistic focus on the entire challenge. And this lady has really gone to great lengths in transforming herself into a potential winner. She may not be figuring out consistently in the early predictions of different pageant sites. But after the Swimsuit Presentation, she received encouraging feedbacks that gave her the positive momentum to keep on fighting.

During my interview with Shanon

I personally feel that Shanon could be a dark horse who can rise when you least expect it. Her immediate goal is make the Top 12, from where she will give her best to finish in the upper tier of the dozen. Rumors are floating that – aside from the four titles at stake – a 5th surprise crown is likely to be revealed on Grand Coronation Night. I really hope so. This is such a strong batch of Binibinis to choose winners from.

In the meantime, watch my short one-on-one with Binibini 6 whose second name is Jumaylh – which means “joyful smile”.
