Miss Tourism Philippines 2016 Candidates Flaunt Filipiniana Gowns at Tourism Lifestyle and Business Expo

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Santacruzan is the pageant on the last day of Flores de Mayo (Flowers of May), a festival held in the Philippines in the month of May. It is one of the May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary and lasts for the entire month. Thus the month of May is filled with many festivities involving lovely ladies adorned in their elegant and sophisticated Filipiniana attires.

The Tourism and Lifestyle Expo recognizes the tradition and incorporates the Santacruzan theme as among the attractions that you can find at the second run of the event which was very successful that it had to do another run just a few days after the first. 

We've seen the Miss Tourism Philippines 2016 candidates last time on a fashion show for the event, and this time they now flaunt again their beauty at the 2nd Tourism and Lifestyle Expo on May 10 at the Glorietta Activity Center.

Lot's of spectators were at awe with the magnificence of both the ladies and their outfits. They really stood out and truly deserve their spot as candidates for a prestigious beauty pageant, As everyone knows that the Santaruzan is considered to be the "Queen of Filipino Festivals," it seems very appropriate that one of these ladies will soon be crowned and become queen.

I would have been equally thrilled if I knew who the designers were so I can commend them for their wonderful creations. All I know is that these gowns were designed by fellow Filipinos that undoubtedly have world-class talent comparable to other foreign fashion designers. Kudos to all teh designers and we salute you all.

Boracay and Miss Global Philippines 2016 Candidates

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We all love seeing beautiful women flaunt their assets and this is very evident why many beauty pageants are prime hits during grand coronation nights and our women often win a title, if not the highest, or get a place among the top 10 or 5 chosen ones.

One way to see the women and all their splendor is by seeing them wear their swimsuit so we could see how flawless and well-sculpt their bodies are. A lot of women now are conscious in maintaining their physique because the world usually relates beautiful with being slim and sexy.

The Swimsuit Competition of Miss Global Philippines 2016 is just one of the many competitions that aims to discover who among the candidates are rightful to become the grand winner. The competition was held on May 6, 2016 in Boracay island of Aklan, specifically at the Wave Bar and Lounge, and out of the 23 candidates who all showcased their beauty and physique, three stood out among the rest for best in swimsuit this year.

Congratulations to #23 Perlyn Ocampo for being the Best in Swimsuit this year. Candidate #12 Anne Antonio got the 2nd runner up and #11 Kristine Cruz is the 1st runner up.

But this story is not just to announce the winners of the Swimsuit competition because we also took the opportunity to have some fun shots with the girls during some of the breaks aside from the reguar photo-shoots at the Puka Beach, at Crown Regency Resort and Convention Center, and at Boracay West Cove... We even had shots while onboard the boat of Montenegro lines. The beauty of these girls is just so alluring that photographers couldn't stop themselves from clicking their cameras. We all love to capture these beauties and make them among pour prized possessions.

Puka Beach located at Barangay Yapak is one of the most pristine beaches in Boracay. It's hardly a hidden gem anymore since we obviously have known of it and now used it as one of the beautiful site for our photo-shoot with the candidates. Aside from its powdery white sand, the different hues of blue, green, and cyan shows how clean the water is.

ArtBGC Festival Makes a Comeback!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Most of us who frequent the Bonifacio Global City have seen the more than a dozen works of art spread all over the area surrounding all those business establishments and buildings. These include the murals that vibrantly fill an otherwise dull sight of certain areas especially the firewalls of buildings.

I love the astronaut mural which can be seen painted on the firewall of the Icon Plaza building somewhere at The Fort area, and very near is another masterpiece showing a lady comfortably chilling on a sofa with her cat and some other stuff that makes the mural a lot more interesting, and of course, they also have a huge mural of Andres Bonifacio himself done in a way that even Bonifacio will be proud of. There's a lot more smaller paintings all over BGC that will sure catch our attention, and I am glad that the people behind this project are at it again.

The artists who painted all those masterpieces or "obra" are indeed full of creative and imagination thus some of them will be coming back again to showcase once more their magnificent visions of various colors, shapes and sizes.

Splashes of color are ready to fill the walls of BGC as Bonifacio Art Foundation, Inc. (BAFI) celebrates ArtBGC Mural Festival 2016. A press briefing was held on May 10 at Seda Hotel BGC to officially introduce the festival.
