Last night, I was the only member of the recognizable pageant media ​​who attended the surprise 50th Birthday Bash of Rodgil Flores – the well-loved man behind Kagandahang Flores – which was held at Club One 690 in Quezon City. There was a visible outpouring of love from everyone who became part of his life as a beauty queen-maker, friend and loved one. The core team behind the event – led by Georgette Garrido, Kristine Caballero-Aplal, Gelbert Aplal and David Isaac Buenaventura – made sure that everything was kept in utmost secrecy up until the final reveal when the celebrant showed up at the venue unaware of what he will witness upon arrival (he was made to know that it was an important client meeting instead). He could not hold back the tears especially when an emotionally-made three-part video (which included Janicel Lubina who is currently in Brisbane for a project and Karen Agustin-Ostrea who is tied up with commitments as well) was shown detailing some of the individuals who have benefitted from his love, generosity and unconditional care.

Beauty queens spotted last night included Bea Rose Santiago, Angelia Ong, MJ Lastimosa, Parul Shah, Maggie Wilson-Consunji, Angelee Delos Reyes, Patricia Fernandez, Precious Lara Quigaman, Karla Henry, Kris Tiffany Janson, Athena Imperial, Camille Hirro, Janela Joy Cuaton, Ganiel Krishnan, Jaya San Jose, Mia Howell, Rachel Peters, Julian Flores, Abigail Cruz, Alexandra Faith Garcia, Gail Ventic, Kristine Estoque, Karen Ibasco, Brenna Gamboa and more. Mr. Gay World Philippines Organization Head Wilbert Tolentino (who was there with John Raspado and Bench Ortiz) was his usually generous self as he added a big amount to the already raised funds (whole-heartedly contributed upon by all previous titleholders and sponsors) for the future training of all KF beauty queen-aspirants. I won’t mention the exact amounts anymore but it’s definitely worth a lot.

Here are more photos from the event.

From all of us here at normannorman.com, may you have more fruitful and love-filled years to come, Rodgil Flores!

Keep on helping and training and loving our beautiful Filipinas! You are really well-loved by everyone.

Cheers! 😀

One of the first gigs of Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 Kris Tiffany Janson after passing on the crown to Christi Lynn McGarry is to join six other beauties (including Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago, Bb. Pilipinas Tourism 2014 Parul Shah, Miss Asean 2014 1stRU Ferina de Paz, Bb. Pilipinas Official Candidates Nancy Leonard and Julian Flores) in uber private Balesin Resort to do a sexy swimsuit photoshoot in the island for the BeMyWanderlust swimwear line of Bb. Pilipinas 2007 Maggie Wilson. And you know how beaches bring out the best in her. She was, quite simply, in her best elements all throughout the pictorial.

Hopefully, she can get all the good breaks now that she is almost done serving her contract for BPCI.

Watch out for the sizzling photographs from Balesin very soon! Or you can also visit the site for some early stills. 😀

wpid-img_15557625674898.jpeg There are four (4) ladies who previously joined Bb. Pilipinas and are now part of the roster of contenders for Miss Manila 2014.

From the 2014 batch, KC Halili and Julian Flores are in the hunt.

From the 2013 edition, Leona Santicruz is taking part.

And from way back 2011, there is Angelia Ong.

The four ladies are shown above during their respective Binibini years.

Individually, these four beauties have their specific specialties should one of them become Miss Manila on 2014 on June 24. KC, who is in Medicine proper, can take on Medical Missions. Angelia can always stand up for the welfare of the large Fil-Chinese community in the city. Leona, a Tourism graduate, can lead the way in projects that make it more fun in Manila. And Julian? Having been a literal resident ever since, she knows how to read the pulse of the more economically struggling families and become an excellent voice for the masses in City Hall.

Looks like these young women have the work cut out for them if ever. But they should also keep an eye on the other candidates because one of the remaining ones might just pull the rug from right under their noses in their unguarded moments. 😉
