The Philippines will play host to Face of Beauty International 2019 this coming November 9-18 with the Grand Finals to happen at Royce Hotel and Casino inside Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga.

At the Press Launch held at El Calle Music and Food Hall inside Newport Mall of Resorts World Manila, the CEO/Founder of the international pageant – Mila Manuel – presided over the event along with Francis Antonio and Rosantonette Mendoza (Managing Director and Public Relations Manager of EMPRO respectively), reigning titleholder Myint Mo May of Myanmar and 2017 winner Pai Tanisa.


This year’s edition will be a big one as the organizers have decided to focus on the Central Luzon region for all its pre-pageant activities and finals. The move will allow the anticipated fifty (50) candidates to enjoy the warm hospitality of Pampanga for a change. On top of this, the ladies will continue with the “I AM ME” campaign – a workshop and charity program – which is the heart of the organization’s mission centered on fighting violence against women around the world.

The Philippine representative to the international competition is the beautiful Samantha Coloso (left photo) who was also introduced during the Presscon.

From all of us at normannorman.com, kudos to the entire organizing and production team of Face of Beauty International 2019. Looking forward to a successful staging here in the country.

The Binibinis, Valentine’s Day and I

I don’t deny my developing friendships and fondness for the forty Binibinis of Bb. Pilipinas 2018. After all, this was the same scenario in the last two years when I really went out of my way to be close to all the candidates so I can size them up better in terms of personality and Queen-worthiness.

During the Store Tour last week at Ali Mall, my colleague Mario Dumaual (of ABS-CBN) was teasing me to no end. When his crew was filming the arrival of the Binibinis at Pizza Hut, they were able to capture every single one of them giving me a buss on the cheek while in line according to number. Perhaps, it is something that I treasure in the coverage. They have started to trust me in a way that I would always spin positivity about them instead of posting unpleasant thoughts of divisiveness. I know that this is still a tough competition first and foremost. But I want all forty to enjoy the journey and collect good memories all throughout. Every minute I spend with them is very much appreciated. I will just worry about separating the potential winners from the rest once the date of the Coronation Night is just 2-3 days away.

For now, Happy Valentine’s Day to all the Binibinis and to you, my dear readers!

Earlier today, the Binibinis of Bb. Pilipinas 2018 visited the Headquarters of the AFP Health Service Command at V. Luna Hospital to bring gifts and cheer to the soldier-patients. BPCI Chair Madame Stella Marquez de Araneta accompanied them. This is the first charity event of the 2018 batch.

The confined soldiers enjoyed seeing the visiting beautiful ladies. Photo ops followed. Below are some of the shots.

The Binibinis visited Dale Carnegie Training – Philippines yesterday as part of their Sponsors’ Tour.

The eventual titleholders for 2018 (including the two runners-up) will definitely be guided by this center in improving their Communication and Public Relations skills for their missions abroad.

Who could be the ones among them to get full Dale Carnegie immersion by April?

In the Spotlight: Your Binibini 18 Rosantonette Mendoza

#BilbilinToBinibini

That is the hashtag your Binibini 18 Rosantonette I. Mendoza is attaching to her Bb. Pilipinas 2018 bid. And I can clearly see why. She used to be tall and overweight (left photo), but with willful determination and discipline, she lost a lot of pounds and gained much self-esteem. Look at her now.

At any rate, Rosan is from Mandaluyong City but considers Bacoor, Cavite her hometown. She is a BS International Relations major in International Trade at the Lyceum of the Philippines University – a budding entrepreneur and aspiring Diplomat.

Let’s hear from Binibini 18 herself after the jump.

“I would have to say that becoming a Binibini is initially to fulfill a childhood dream. But later on, I realized that my intentions should be far deeper than that. A Binibini is more than just a beacon of beauty. Being one – or a potential Queen for that matter – gives her a national platform to voice out opinions to a broader audience. It gives opportunities to spark positive changes, specifically on society’s views about beauty and health. It’s also a chance to be a leader and a representative of the modern Filipina in relevant and intelligent dialogues. We get to advance our advocacies and help encourage fellow Filipinos to go for the things that they’re passionate about. Knowing that you are there to inspire other people, not just women, gives significance to a Binibining Pilipinas crown.”

As far as her personal advocacy goes, Rosan adds:

“Sadly, discussions on mental health and depression is not as common here in the Philippines compared to other countries. In our society, there’s still the stigma that prevents people from getting access to professional help. Also, in this age of social media, cyber bullying continues to corrupt our mindsets that it’s easier to get “likes” and “followers” when you spread hate and intolerance. Having experienced these challenges first hand, I plan to continue spreading optimism and acceptance. I will continue to encourage discussions about the impact and consequences of cyber bullying and depression.
With or without a crown, I know that I’ll still have the drive, commitment and passion. We must understand that a Queen is identified not by the piece of bedazzled metal on her head, but by her actions, intelligence, and eagerness to help others.”

Rosantonette I. Mendoza is now a part of Aces & Queens.
