Does Karen Gallman have what it takes to win the 47th Miss Intercontinental right here in the Philippines?

The hosting of the 47th Miss Intercontinental in the Philippines from January 9-26, 2019 is already a sealed deal with the finals scheduled to take place at the Mall of Asia Arena. And as Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2018, Karen Gallman has the double assignment of being a most gracious and hospitable host delegate as well as winning the country’s first-ever crown in the said competition. It is not an easy task honestly, but neither is it a tall order the way I see it.

A hometown decision is always met with resistance by all other participating countries. But our representative is dead serious in claiming the victory that has been “robbed” from us at least twice. The 2nd Runner-Up finish of Kris Tiffany Janson last 2015 was a close call and we know the controversy surrounding the results at the time. The 1st Runner-Up placement of Christi McGarry last 2016 should have already earned for us the much-awaited win. And the identical rank of Katarina Rodriguez last January in Egypt was such a major source of complaint from Filipino pageant fans who could not accept the decision. That was supposed to be our big moment finally.

So here comes the Philippines hosting Miss Intercontinental for the first time. Will we finally get the well-deserved #1 position?

What do you think, dear readers?

The 47th Miss Intercontinental in Manila

Since Missosology already made an official post about the 47th Miss Intercontinental to be hosted in the country come January, 2019, the question in the mind of some pageant followers is this: will the chance of Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2018 Karen Gallman winning the crown be lessened because of this development? We are tired of being perennial runners-up in the competition. And as Host Delegate, Karen might end up getting the same placement like that of Katarina Rodriguez or Christi McGarry or Kris Tiffany Janson.

Your thoughts, dear readers?

During last Sunday night’s finals of Miss World Philippines 2017 at the Mall of Asia Arena, a reunion of (almost all) the Bb. Pilipinas 2014 winners happened when Bianca Guidotti (International), Kris Tiffany Janson (Intercontinental), Yvethe Santiago (Supranational), Parul Shah (Tourism) and Hannah Ruth Sison (2nd Runner-Up) became like the cheering squad for their baby sister Laura Lehmann who eventually took home the crown. It was a welcome sight indeed as they boosted the morale of their 1st Runner-Up.

How I wish MJ Lastimosa was there to complete the group.

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! 😀

Jennifer Hammond | What could be written in her stars?

Jennifer Hammond by Raymond Saldaña


This coming Sunday, October 16, will be judgment night for Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2016 Jennifer Hammond when she will find out if her game plan has weaved its magic in the competition and hopefully become our very first Miss Intercontinental. We all know that the homestretch of any beauty contest is the most crucial. More than a few eager National Directors will start flying in to lobby for their respective candidates. Discussions during breakfast will be telling once the contest organizers are joined in the table by the more aggressive handlers. So how will this factor in once all possibilities have been figured out by our representative?

At the end of the day, fate is a deciding factor – fate with a dash of good luck and public relations. Miss Intercontinental is a business first and foremost. And if the collective strength and social media-spreading power of the Filipinos is given enough weight, then that should push the name of Miss Intercontinental back to the pedestal where it was placed by a lot of support from the Filipinos during the edition when Kris Tiffany Janson placed 2nd Runner-Up instead of winning. Of course, we all know how the popularity of Miss Intercontinental waned after the unexpected results of 2014.

Will the stars align for Jennifer this time around? I know that she is giving it her best from the day she landed in Colombo. And she always managed to stand out in all the pre-pageant activities and the like. In fact, she is getting more coverage now than last year’s Christi McGarry who was able to get 1st Runner-Up honors?

Is 2016 the right year for a Filipina finally getting a Miss Intercontinental victory? I am positive, barring any surprises that would spoil our expectations once again. I remain very positive. 😉

As 2nd Runner-Up of Miss Intercontinental 2014

With Miss Intercontinental 2015 in full swing, let us do a throwback on our representative last year who came close to winning the crown, also in Magdeburg, Germany. Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 and Miss Intercontinental 2014 2nd Runner-Up Kris Tiffany Janson was brimming with confidence when she departed for the host country. And all pageant fans and followers were optimistic of her chances to nail our first victory in the said competition. Of course, somewhere along the way, there were persistent rumors of “things” happening in the background. Such talks were initially dismissed up until that fateful finals night when two (2) candidates from Asia-Oceania were called to the magic circle instead of just one. And the rest is debatable pageant history.

Everything’s water under the bridge by now. With Christi Lynn McGarry bannering our country at the moment, our hopes are beginning to grow once more. But let’s give this momentary spotlight to Kris as I encourage you to watch the video below showing her journey from Cebu to Manila to Magdeburg. 🙂

Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2015 Christi Lynn McGarry

Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2015 Christi Lynn McGarry

Just like last year, Magdeburg in Germany will be the host city of Miss Intercontinental 2015 and not Düsseldorf as originally planned. And you know how that place brings back memories of the controversial finals where two ladies from Asia (Patraporn Wang of Thailand and Kris Tiffany Janson of the Philippines) were picked to join the final list that should only include one for each continent. It was quite obvious that our bet, who only wound up 2nd Runner-Up, could have gone higher or even won the crown without another Asian among the finalists. But then again, that’s all murky water under the bridge.

I am hoping for a more distinguished participation of Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2015 Christi Lynn McGarry. After all, this will be her 2nd inclusion in a Miss Intercontinental edition. And while the reigning titleholder is a fellow Southeast Asian, there is no reason to prematurely surrender victory. I’m confident our bet will go to Magdeburg brimming with confidence.

So let’s just look forward to how Christi will be unveiled for her potentially 2-in-1 send-off early December or late November.

Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 and Miss Intercontinental 2014 2nd Runner-Up Kris Tiffany Janson is enjoying a grand vacation in Egypt right now, as part of her placement prize in Magdeburg, Germany. Fresh from her European sojourn, our Queen went home just for a quick change (and appearing during the Presscon for Parul and Ann) then packed her bags again. She is now enjoying the hospitality of her hosts and making sure that she will see the best parts of Egypt during this trip.

Drop by the Pyramids and ride on a camel, Krissie! 😉
