Earlier tonight, an online media launch was held for Kagandahang Flores (KF) which signals the rebirth of an exciting new campaign for the successful beauty camp that has produced countless national and international beauty titleholders since it started way back in 1995.

Since then, KF has managed to stand the test of time and gradually evolved into becoming one of the most sought-after training groups for pageant aspirants and crowned titleholders who have represented the Philippines well in Global pageants here and abroad. Names like Precious Lara Quigaman, Bea Rose Santiago and Karen Ibasco went through its tried-and-tested methods in achieving victory, with fresh new winners like Roxie Baeyens and Naelah Alshorbaji adding more luster to the camp’s reputation.

Journey in Beauty
“Beauty is everywhere…it is a journey…you just have to recognize it.”


KF Founder Rodgil Flores and co-founder Gio Lazaro are at the forefront of this brand new reimagining for the camp, tagged as The Engineer and Queenmaker respectively. Not many people know that the former is an actual Chemical Engineer by profession, while the latter is one of the most respected makeup gurus in the country. Together, they will lead a team of talented professionals whose individual specializations contribute to the all-around development of future pageant aspirants and beauty queens.

Gio Flores for Aesthetics, Hair and Makeup
Angelo Mendez for Nutrition and Fitness
Michael Dimapinto for Q&A, Current Events and Public Speaking
Andrew Bryan Galleguez for Makeup
Karen Loren Agustin for Personality Development & Image Styling


Just to refresh your memory on the Queens who have been trained and polished by KF, here are some of them (aside from those mentioned above): Rachel Peters, MJ Lastimosa, Karla Henry, Jamie Herrell, Angelia Ong, Gazini Ganados and Emma Tiglao. Very recently, Miss Aura International Alexandra Faith Garcia and The Miss Globe 2021 Maureen Montagne were added to the tally of successful beauty champions.

There are more, but this list will go on forever if we name them one by one.

In summary, KF is welcoming to each and everyone who wants to start a journey with them. Being a KF Beauty is not just being part of a camp, but a member of a family that will look after you along the way.

Start your journey in beauty with KF.

Should Karina Cabiling join Binibining Pilipinas 2012?

Filipina beauty at its finest....Karina Cabiling (Photo credit: Omar Gallinero)

Karina Cabiling’s first taste of national pageantry happened way back in 2008 when she placed as Miss Mindanao in the now-defunct Miss Turismo Pilipina (headed by ex-beauty queens Precious Lara Quigaman, Denille Valmonte and Karen Loren Agustin). This Davaoena took the opportunity to put her foot inside the fashion industry door and has never looked back since. At the moment, she is one of the more in-demand fashion models in the country with her beautiful face, exotic aura and good height of 5’8.5″.

Zoom to late 2011, and that is now. Pageant kibitzers and paparazzis are already shortlisting possible candidates for Binibining Pilipinas 2012. Karina Cabiling is always on the preferences of most. And why not? This girl, who is now 23, is a shoo-in for final consideration. Her background in modelling will serve the purpose excellently well. And who can ignore her gorgeous looks?

But more importantly….is Karina Cabiling even serious – let alone interested – to try her luck in Binibining Pilipinas 2012? She was already egged on to join the 2011 edition but did not push through. Methinks she just needs some pep talk and an extra shove to finally cave in to the call of duty. 😉
