More exciting Miss World 2017

The 35 official candidates to the Miss World 2017 pageant were presented recently to the media at New World Hotel.

The ladies revealed their statuesque figures wearing their swimsuits and evening gowns. They also gave a glimpse of their interesting personalities during the profile interviews.

Some of the hopefuls include an international pageant runner-up, a sportscaster, a daughter of an actor and a commercial model, a forensic practitioner from the U.S., two half-Germans, a professional singer with a recording contract, a national titleholder, provincial level titleholders, a sister of a Miss World Philippines (from the ’90s), and an orphan who turned into competitions to gain experience and friends.

Miss World Philippines National Director Arnold Vegafria is optimistic about the quality and diversity of this year’s bumper crop of aspirants.

He said, “It’s remarkable how today’s young Filipina beauties are obviously more confident, principled, outspoken, but more importantly, driven with a bigger and nobler purpose.

“Now that we’ve leveled the playing field, we can only wish them luck in their quest for the title and make pageant history once more.”

Miss World Philippines General Manager Bessie Besana is ecstatic about the unprecedented turnout.

“This is definitely a record-breaking feat!” he exclaimed. “Based on the numbers alone, we’ve never seen this kind of enthusiasm and interest during the past years. With these ladies, we are confident that we can keep up the country’s winning streak in the global pageant arena.”

The Miss World 2017 pageant will be held on Sept. 3 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Aside from the Miss World Philippines title, 3 other crowns – Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2017, Miss Multinational 2017, and Miss Eco Philippines 2017 are also at stake.
