Allow me to share with you a blog entry about the recent GMA-7 “I-Witness” documentary presented by Howie Severino on “Ang Unang Reyna” (or “The First Queen”) who happens to be Purificacion Garcia Villanueva of Arevalo, Iloilo City. At the age of 22, she was crowned as the very first “Queen of the Manila Carnival” back in 1908. She is a writer responsible for several books that ranged in subjects from cooking, women’s cooperative, women’s suffrage and more.

Do watch the interesting docu below with special cameos of Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and my friend, UP Professor Wendell Capili.

Ready for a fresh new learning approach about one of our favorite subject matters? Well then, join the beeline to Room 207 of Palma Hall inside University of the Philippines-Diliman this coming Thursday, March 31 from 1-4pm. Here’s the pitch:

Faces and Spaces: An Alternative Classroom Learning Experience (ACLE) about The Geography of Beauty Pageants, a geographic forum organized by the Geographic Society of the University of the Philippines (GSUP). The event will be on March 31, 2015 (Thursday) from 1-4 pm at Palma Hall (PH) Room 207, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City. Open to the public.

My friend and long-time pageant “fellow”, Professor Wendell Capili Ph.D. of the UP Department of English and Comparative Literature, will lead the learning forum discussions along with Jonas Gaffud of Aces & Queens, designer Bessie Besana also of Aces & Queens and Miss Global Philippines 2015 Candice Ramos.

This should be very interesting. Thanks to the Geographic Society of the University of the Philippines (GSUP) for organizing.

Attend if you’re available. It’s open to the public. 🙂
