Here is Batch 3 of the Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Candidates and their Passions that never fade for Downy Philippines.
They encapsulate in ten seconds what I have been individually blogging about them for the past two months.
Miss Surigao del Norte Carissa Quiza was unfortunately in the Province during the filming of this campaign
During this quarantine period, Miss Universe Philippines 2020 candidate Trizha Ocampo of La Union has focused on self-healing and spending time with her family. She lives with her sister – who is a doctor intern in a government hospital in Baguio – so she is very strict when it comes to going out and getting in contact with others since their clan has a medical history of pneumonia and asthma. Ever since their mother passed away, everyone has been busy with schoolwork and careers.
With her siblings
When it comes to La Union, she has been participating in Online Fundraising Concerts of the La Union Events Suppliers. The aim is to raise funds for basic needs of those who have no income because of the no-work-no-pay salary arrangement. She may not be staying in LU right now, but she uses whatever influence she has on social media to be of valued help.
Like the time the local hospital in Agoo was in dire need of PPEs. The frontliners there have been DIY-ing their own. So I reached out to whoever could help in a fundraising to provide PPEs. It was a blessing that my fellow candidate Ericka Evangelista saw her post, hence, getting precious donation from their Barya Ni Juan project.
Now that Baguio is under the less restricted GCQ, the services in their clinics will resume with strict precautions and in compliance to the government’s guidelines.

Having personally met and talked to the 35 Official Candidates of Miss World Philippines 2017, I am sharing my early choices but tweaking the presentation just a little bit. There are four (4) titles at stake, so I decided to come up with four (4) potential winners for each one of them. Of course, it would be possible for four choices for the highest title to grab all crowns in the end. But that would be spoiling the chances of the rest who will definitely make the all-important first cut of the pageant. But in essence, these are the sixteen (16) contenders I am shortlising for now.
For Miss Eco Philippines where the winner will travel to Egypt for her competition, I have placed (from top photo clockwise) Ella Eiveren Lubag, Chelsea Manalo, Rose Flores and Nikki Deveza. This is such a diverse quartet with a Chinese-looking, a half-American, a half-Indian and a full Filipina in the mix. The competition and varied preference in the host country could favor one of them.
For Miss Multinational Philippines who will fly to New Delhi, India in December, I have set aside (from top clockwise) Sheila Marie Reyes, Trizha Ocampo, Jeanyfer Ozbot and Jona Sweett. Methinks that the host country would love to see either a sweet-looking lady (Sheila or Jeanyfer) or a fiery Pinay with Latina-ish vibe (Trizha or Jona) representing the Philippines.
Now it gets more interesting for Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas who will visit Bolivia in South America for the first time. Do we favor a Spanish-speaking Barcelona-raised Gabriela Ortega as shoo-in? Or do we go for the exotic and statuesque Ethel Abellanosa? How about world traveler Zara Carbonell? Or maybe the Australia-raised Boholana Glyssa Perez? It’s supposed to be free for all, but this is one title that Gabriela should have in the bag at the onset. Unless she allows the other comers to nose her out.
And the biggest title of them all? There are four in the hunt for Miss World Philippines who will fly to Sanya, China for Miss World 2017. And they are – without a doubt – the solid front-runners this year. Heck, they might even be the four eventual titlists! Consider Cynthia Thomalla, Janela Joy Cuaton, Teresita Ssen Marquez and Laura Lehmann. One of them is very likely to succeed Catriona Gray, in my opinion.
Your thoughts, dear readers? 🙂
