3 Pinay beauties: Good luck!

Manila, Philippines – JPD UPDATE — Beauty expert Jay P. Delgado updates Highspeed on the international scene where three Pinays are competing.

Here’s JPD’s report: Saturday (Nov. 5) and Sunday (Nov. 6), three Filipinas will vie for world beauty crowns in the United Kingdom and China hoping to continue the lucky streak begun by Venus Raj and Shamcey Supsup who both entered the Miss Universe finals last year and this.

Saturday, Glennifer Perido will vie alongside 51 other contestants for the 2011 Miss Tourism Queen of the Year International crown in Yingtan, China. Glennifer, a native of San Pablo City, Laguna, was 1st runner-up at the recent Miss Casino Filipino finals and a Bb. Pilipinas contestant last April. She hopes to duplicate the feats of Sherylle Santarin and Racquel Uy, the two Filipinas, who have worn the Queen of the Year International crown in 1996 and 1999, respectively.

Sunday night, 2011 Bb. Pilipinas-International Diane Samar Necio and 2011 Miss World-Philippines Gwendoline Ramos Ruais will vie for their respective pageants (about 8 hours apart because of the international dateline) hoping to make beauty pageant history.

Diane, 18, from Polangui, Albay, will compete along with 64 other international delegates for the 51st Miss International Pageant at the Sichuan Opera House in Chengdu, China. Pageant aficionados are pinning high hopes on Diane to bring home our fifth Miss International crown after Gemma Cruz (1964), Aurora Pijuan (1970), Melanie Marquez (1979), and Precious Lara Quigaman (2005).

Gwendoline, 21, of Muntinlupa City will vie with 113 others delegates worldwide for the coveted crown currently held by Alexandra Mills of the USA. The 6-feet tall Filipino-French beauty is hoping to become the first Filipina Miss World champion after hearth-breaking runner-up finishes in the last four decades. The coronation night unfolds at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre 2 in London, UK with GMA Network airing the event live via satellite (early Monday morning).

“Bonne chance,” Gwendoline! “Hao yuin,” Diane and Glennifer! May Lady Luck smile on you as you proudly carry the Philippine colors in the world beauty arena!

All three beauties are Bb. Pilipinas alumnae, Diane and Gwen were “batchmates” in 2010 with Diane finishing as 1st runner-up and Gwen as top ten finalist Glennifer was a Bb. Pilipinas contestant last April.
