#Teaser: Aces & Queens will field twenty-seven (27) aspirants to three national pageants this year. Above and below are the beautiful backs of twenty-two of them during an orientation.

Posted @withregram • @aces_and_queens CAN YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE? Presenting 22 of the 27 ladies completing Aces & Queens Class of 2022 who were present during the Final Screening and Orientation last January 22.

This year’s harvest of beauties was highly competitive – pretty, great personality, smart, intelligent and articulate. The tallest stood at 5’11, one was 5’10” and five were 5’9″. Impressive academic credentials. And all achievers in their respective fields.

Will Ahtisa go for MUPh in 2022?

These days, all sorts of rumors and wish lists are aplenty in the pageant world, Omicron notwithstanding. It’s almost as if the ladies being mentioned as potential joiners are immune to the COVID-19 variant and free to go through their trainings, photoshoots and the like under any alert level. Truth be told, they are just as cautious of what’s happening around us.

Be that as it may, former BbPilipinas International Ahtisa Manalo is being egged on to finally push through with Miss Universe Philippines this year.

We’ll see. She recently came out in the open with her good-looking boyfriend Marco Suarez with an IG post as proof. Is she even keen on adding a significant division to her already busy skeds between business (Koomi) and love life?

Miss Kuyamis 2022 Annabelle McDonnell who will hopefully take part in Miss Universe Philippines 2022

First Runner Up Jimena Tempra who may possibly be sent to Binibining Pilipinas 2022

2nd Runner Up Vanessa Dulay who just might be a fit for Mutya Pilipinas

3rd Runner Up Nice Lampad who I suggested for Miss World Philippines 2022

4th Runner Up Natazha Vea Bautista who might go for Miss Philippines Earth just like her older sister Nellza Bautista a few years back.

Miss Kuyamis 2022 winners

Congratulations to all the winners:

Miss Kuyamis 2022:
Annabelle Mae Tate McDonnell of Naawan

1st Runner Up:
Jimema Tempra of Jasaan
2nd Runner Up:
Vanessa Atienza Dulay of Manticao
3rd Runner Up:
Nice Lampad of Sucbongcogon
4th Runner Up:
Natazha Vea Bautista of Villanueva

McDonnell will most likely represent the province in Miss Universe Philippines 2022 scheduled for screening next month. You will remember her as part of Miss Millennial Philippines last 2019.

And like saving the best for last, Misamis Oriental Governor Bambi Emano pulled out all the stops for the #9thKuyamisFestival. It is, after all, his last term as Governor of the beautiful province. The outstanding staging/production of Miss Kuyamis 2022 is just one of them.

Your leadership is a source of inspiration for all Misamisnons!

Mabuhay ka, Gov!

From the relative unknown to the very familiar

From Origin Models Management – the same modeling agency that fielded Beatrice Luigi Gomez and Tracy Maureen Perez in 2021 – Chantal Schmitz is being rumored to be one of the next protégés that might be fielded in the nationals. This 5’7” Law student has been getting the buzz of late. Will she pursue?

On the other hand, another rumored joiner is Binibining Pilipinas International 2019 Patch Magtanong who – just like Ahtisa Manalo – is said to be looking at 2022 for a possible Miss Universe Philippines crossover. She was largely non-committal last 2020 due to a still pending contract with BPCI followed by an anticipated employment in a law firm. Is the coast clear this time around?

VVV: Wasted opportunity or loyalty to the Philippines?

Share me your thoughts about this decision of Victoria Velasquez Vincent:

Posted @withregram • @victoriavelasquezvincent Shortly after the MUPH coronation night, I was offered to be Miss Universe New Zealand 2021.

After a week of contemplation, countless discussions with my family, friends and team, I eventually came to the decision to politely decline the offer.

So many people will say I’m crazy for turning down this opportunity, but I had to choose what I know in my heart was the right thing to do.

My heart is, and always will be here to serve the Philippines. Some may say I’m not Filipina enough, and that’s ok.

I know who I am.
I know what I stand for.
I am a Filipina.

Thank you to the MUNZ org for your kindness. I am endlessly grateful that you had faith in me and offered me the opportunity of a lifetime 🇳🇿

Thank you to the MUPH org for offering your support regardless of what I decided to do 🇵🇭

I am so excited to see what the future holds for us, Philippines.

Do you know where you’re going to?

Well these ladies sure do.

They just went with neon and boy, are the colors really making them stand out loud!

With those bright jeepney signages in the background, a glimpse into one of the themes for 2021 can be seen now.

Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo, Bella Ysmael, Michelle Gumabao, Pauline Amelinckx and Billie Hakenson lead the way!
