Chanique Rabe of Namibia and Varo Vargas of Peru won the Supranational titles
And so, another “Festival of Beauty” is completed in Nowy Sacz, Poland with the selection of the new Miss and Mister Supranational over the weekend. Africa and Latin America lorded it over the competition with both regions claiming 1-2 finishes in both.
Chanique Rabe of Namibia was crowned Miss Supranational 2021 with Karla Guilfu Acevedo of Puerto Rico as 1st Runner-Up. On the other hand, Varo Vargas of Peru topped the male side by winning Mister Supranational 2021. His 1st Runner-Up is Abdel-Kacem Tefridj of Togo.
The Philippines did fairly well with Dindi Pajares making it to Top 12 in Miss Supranational and John Adajar entering the Top 20 of Mister Supranational. For whatever reason/s behind not advancing higher, it’s all water under the bridge now. We can only look forward to sending a more branding-friendly and well-prepared pair the next time.
If the organizers continue with a Summer schedule for their pageants (which they should so as not to compete with Miss Universe and Miss World happening during the Holiday Season), then it would do well to select a Miss Supranational Philippines 2022 from the current batch of Miss World Philippines 2021 candidates. As for the guys, the delayed staging of Mr World Philippines 2021 can also select a winner for Mister Supranational 2022.
Hopefully, the pandemic will slow down and allow us to return to at least a semblance of the old normal – or the #NowNormal if you will.
Congratulations to Chanique Chani Rabe of Namibia 🇳🇦 for winning Miss Supranational 2021.
The last time a candidate from Europe won the title of Miss Supranational was way back in 2012 when Ekatsiaryna Buraya of Belarus ruled over this competition. Since then, Asians and Latinas were crowned winners from 2013 to 2019. And in this edition, the entry of Belgium – Louise-Marie Losfeld – is looking more and more like a favorite of the organizers and the production team. She appears to be soft and fragile on the outside, but I heard that she is a darling to work with. And this could play to her strengths going into the finals. Next to her, the Namibian contestant – Chanique Rabe – could be the chosen one. She has the Supranational vibe all over her – a drop dead gorgeous beauty I must add. 
Is Mister Supranational still firm in having a GQ-ish international model as its choice of a winner? This male competition gives a high premium on the suave and gentlemanly looks. After all, they required the candidates to slip into those safe-looking swim shorts instead of speedo-inspired skimpies. They also grade the men on their sense of style and consistency of wardrobe. And this is where our entry – John Adajar – could be faulted. We sent a global MMA fighter with no firm hold on his metrosexual side, but a brother-in-arms who gives his fellow contenders a tough sense of love and presence. It would not sound politically correct to state that we have a straight-as-an-arrow guy for Mister Philippines. But it is what it is. Will the risk pay off? We’ll see.
