THE ROAD TO PROGRESS

Beatriz “Zea” Vasquez Awatin, the reigning Miss Progress Philippines, held her “Send Off Party” at Kagandang Flores Camp before departing for Puglia, Italy, on September 7, 2022, for the 8th edition of Miss Progress International (MPI).

The Associazione Culturale in Progress organizes the pageant, which has been recognized and supported by the President of the Italian Republic, the Italian Council of Ministers, the Italian Ministry of Tourism, and the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities.

Miss Progress International’s social values and humanitarian objectives continue to advance through its unconventional approach. The representative from each nation should not only be an example of intelligence and beauty, but also actively contribute to the growth and development of their own communities.

Miss Progress International believes that to make progress, we must strengthen three critical pillars: HUMAN RIGHTS, ENVIRONMENT, and HEALTH. As a result, each candidate must present a viable project. Candidates were asked to write a project based on their assigned social theme or “PROGRESS’ PILLAR,” and this year’s theme for the Philippines is human rights.

Beatriz’s project for human rights theme/pillar is entitled “THE JEEPNEY LIBRARY”; it is a vehicle of PROGRESS. Jeepney Library is an aid to support the lack of access to modern education for the poorest of the poor children of Manila. It is customized with a portable Wi-Fi connection and computers/laptops built in to give less fortunate children the right to gain access to technology and information and make sure that NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND.

Beatriz and the other over 30 delegates will tour the world’s most beautiful region, Puglia, Italy. They will visit several UNESCO World Heritage sites. On September 17 (9:90PM Italian Time and 3:30 AM Philippines Time), the coronation night will be streamed LIVE on Miss Progress International’s YouTube and Facebook pages, as well as on a European TV station that will be announced shortly.

We can vote for our representative for free every day until September 17th. Don’t miss out and let us all rally behind Zea to bring home the country’s second Miss Progress International crown.

A quick Q&A with Miss Progress Philippines 2021 Zea Awatin

Below is a quick Q&A with Miss Progress Philippines 2021 Beatriz “Zea” Awatin which she answered during the meet-and-greet with the pageant media yesterday at Alex III.

1) With national elections coming in 2022, what kind of a President do Filipinos really need to achieve solid #Progress?

“We need a compassionate leader whose platforms are in line with the needs of his people, someone who has genuine intention for the betterment of the nation and a leader who speaks the truth and who understands the importance of integrity

After all, democracy was made not for the government officials but for the people who believe that their rights are greatly secured with the elected leaders. The only way to achieve it is, if we choose a leader with compassion, genuine intentions and integrity.”

2) What is your platform/advocacy for Miss Progress International and why is it so important to you?

“Ever since I was young, I was already exposed to different communities that are involved with rights to education. Since then, I firmly believe that it will help a certain community to achieve progress.

As your Miss Progress Philippines 2021, I emphasize the importance of Human Rights because knowing your in-depth rights will help you know more about the other fields related in the pageant, like Health and Environment. Moreover, Human rights is one of the underlying issues in the Philippines so I hope my platform could inspire people to know their rights and use the democracy that was given to us.”

3) If you can choose only one of the two to keep, which would it be and why: Privacy or Security?

“It depends.

In terms of relationships, I will choose security.

Feeling secured with someone by their assurance, acts of love, support and having a sense of pride with them contributes to you well being and better than being private with no efforts nor having pride of having you.

In terms of finances or financial status, I’d rather stay low key and private than to be flashy. I’m a simple person. I don’t need to show the world how much I earn nor define a certain status.”

4) If people really learn from mistakes, why are people afraid of making them?

“Because people are afraid of what others say. They are too attached to pleasing people that they forgot to know their core and aspirations in life.”

5) How can you be a social media inspiration during these times when virtual presence has become more important to the world?

“By creating a content that talks about my advocacy, by being honest with who i am and what I am not and by showing a genuine interest to this journey.”

Good luck in Miss Progress International 2021, Zea!
