Mutya winners visit Cebu
By Earl D.C. Bracamonte
Winners of the recently
concluded Mutya ng Pilipinas 2013 pageant started their tour of duty in
promoting their “Beauty Tourism” campaign by exploring one of the most
beautiful tourist spots of the country, the Queen City of the South, Cebu City,
as well as other interesting hideaways around the province.
“As one of the newly-crowned Mutya ng Pilipinas queens, my main
advocacy is to promote anything that is beautiful in the Philippines, from
nature’s bounty to friendly and hospitable people unto superb native cuisines
and I guess I have to start right within my own native place, which is Cebu,“ said Mutya ng Piilipinas – Tourism International and proud Cebuana, Angeli
Dione Gomez, during a recent visit to the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Lahug
district.
The 20-year-old
lass from the Queen City of the South also won the same title won by another
Cebuana last year, Rizzini Alexis Gomez, who ultimately won the Miss Tourism
International in December 2012. Dione is optimistic she can duplicate
Rizzini’s victory, being a Gomez herself! She’ll fly to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
towards the end of the year to compete in the said pageant.
Angeli, together with pageant
winners Mutya ng Pilipinas 2013-Overseas Communities Asdis Liza Karlsdottir of
Iceland and 1st Runner-up Maureen Ann Montagne of Arizona ((USA) together with
Ms. Jacqueline Tan, Mutya ng Pilipinas president, were warmly welcomed personally
by the hotel’s resident manager, Mr. Carlo Marcelo Sainz, the girls' host during their stay in
Cebu City.
The 2013 Mutya winners will soon be embarking
on a nationwide tour of key cities around the country to promote its advocacy
of “Beauty Tourism” and participate in various festivals and charity events in
and around the archipelago.
The
Mutya ng Pilipinas organization promotes ‘beauty tourism’ within the greater
Asia Pacific with the direct participation of the overseas Filipino
communities; this being a distinct component of the national pageant for years
now. The organization is motivated and inspired by its guiding thrust to assist
in promoting tourism, social responsibility, fashion, and beauty pageantry.
