It was a busy Sunday night indeed. Along with my pageant media colleagues, we trooped to Alex III Restaurant along Tomas Morato for our second Meet-The-Press event. This time, we spent quality time with the gorgeous #Binibini31 Yllana Marie Aduana of Laguna Province for Binibining Pilipinas 2022.
Fondly called Yana by everyone, this bright and cheery Lagunense continues to enthrall with her mere presence. Her smile never fails to captivate. She prepared for a long Q&A with the press and answered each question with the consistency of a true ProMedia beauty athlete. And each time she shared her thoughts, the love for her province gets to be highlighted – most especially now that she started her Tourism Videos that will promote each city and municipality of Laguna.
A Medical Laboratory Scientist and Drug Analyst by profession, Yana shows how she can make things happen in any endeavor she sets her mind on. Neither a pageant newbie nor a veteran, she did her first national pageant last year and walked away with the crown on her second. As the reigning Miss FIT Philippines, she is the personification of a holistic beauty who gives focus on more than just the physical. She is mentally and emotionally equipped to handle the demands of winning a title in the big league.
Yana honestly admitted that her target is to win the Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental crown. Aside from believing in the brand of Miss Intercontinental, she is challenged by the idea of going for a back-to-back win in the pageant where our very own Cindy Obeñita is the reigning winner. If all goes well, then she might just get what she wishes for. She cannot stress enough her desire to nail one of the BBP crowns after covering all the bases in trying to achieve that.
With the help of ProMedia, power couple Paul and Jam and KF, Yana is strongly supported in her quest amidst a sea of strong contenders in this year’s edition of the national pageant.
Best of luck in the coming weeks ahead!
NEWLY crowned #MissGlobal2022 Shane Quintana Tormes, arrived yesterday at NAIA Terminal 3 from a successful stint in the Miss Global 2022 live finale held in Bali, Indonesia last June 11. She checked in at the plush Hotel Okura Manila in Resorts World Manila where she was feted with a victory party and media con today, June 18.
Shane was welcomed at the airport by Kagandahang Flores founder and principal trainer Rodin Gilbert B.flores and senior trainer/manager Jess Juaniza Soriano together with several relatives and friends including select members of the media.
Tormes, a multi-titled beauty queen from Camarines Sur, was crowned as Miss Global 2022, besting a field of 62 beauties worldwide in a glittering finale held at Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center in Bali, Indonesia on June 11 and finally proclaimed and crowned past midnight of June 12, coinciding with the 124th Philippine Independence Day.
Shane, who also won as Miss Talent for a powerful interpretation of Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary,” became the first Filipina to win the US-based international pageant that was established in 2013.
“I am so happy and proud that finally, a Filipina won the coveted Miss Global title,” said Pauline Sofia Laping, President and National Director of Miss Global Philippines. “I was in shock and overwhelmed at Shane’s victorious
feat in Bali. Everything has paid off; she had come a long way to get to this journey and cap it beautifully. To God be the Glory!”
Shane, who was crowned by Miss Global Organization President Van Pham, will reign alongside Miss Global 2021 Jessica da Silva, a single mom who represented the United Arab Emirates, won the title via a series of virtual competitions several weeks ago, and crowned on the same night in Bali.
The pageant allows single women as well as single mothers aged 18-35 to qualify for the tilt. No pageant was held in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Named as runners-up to both Shane and Jessica were: Sandra Lim from Malaysia, 1st; Brooke Rankin from Australia, 2nd; Sandra Boris from Lithuania, 3rd; and Natalia Gurgel from Brazil, 4th.
Shane reprised the victory of Megan Young, the very first and so far, only Filipina Miss World, in the very same venue back in 2013.
A “veteran” whose pageant skills were honed by Kagandahang Flores camp, particularly its founder and head trainer Rodgil Flores and senior trainer Jess Soriano, pasarela trainer Georgette Garrido, Public Speaking and Communications trainers Jerome Balute, Miguel West, Jace Chiong, Ma Romina Gemini Zabala, Nathan Daniel Sison and Niňo Lasin.
Shane’s victory was more meaningful coming after her mom’s death months before her international competition. After she won as Miss Global 2022, she posted on social media, “PARA SA’YO PILIPINAS. Thank you so much Lord And my dearest MAMA for guiding me all throughout this journey. To Miss Global Organization for entrusting me the PINK LOTUS CROWN. Thank you so much for believing in me.”

Someone to watch out for in national pageantry this 2022:
She is 24, half-Filipina and half-German with legs that stretch for days. Standing up straight, she measures a clean 5’10” and has been modeling overseas in Vienna (Austria), as well as Stuttgart (Germany) where she is originally from.
I had the pleasure of meeting her in person during the opening of #Toledomed Tuscany last Friday. And boy, will she make heads turn soon!
Remember the name: Anna Valencia
Look who’s ready to start her Miss Environment International journey – our very own #MissEnvironmentPhilippines Michelle Arceo! She is all set to board her Emirates flight to Mumbai via Dubai.
