Powerhouse of Beauty Pageants

If America favors and supports the Super Bowl and the World Cup, Filipinos are going gaga about other horse races — the 3 B's
-Beauty Pageants, Basketball and Boxing. In America beauty pageants are are slowly slumping and fading out into oblivion with
major stations like ABS, NBC and Fox relegating it in a sideline but Filipinos remained faithful and a staunch supporters of
pageantry and Miss Universe for that matter. And with the country’s “beauty queens” raking in international accolade left and
right, The Philippines is as seasoned a candidate as a nation can get.

And with their annual pageant successes, came the moniker: Powerhouse of Beauty Pageants!

I chanced to see a pageant blogger who attached POWERHOUSE to Philippines in a different slant and flexure, something
that could not be said to the self proclaimed pretenders to the title like Thailand or Indonesia. Watch the video if you
agree with her.

The Pinoys have always been loyal to beauty pageants. In the past there was the Miss Tourism International contest(which has now disappeared) and although there have been seasons when interest has waned, the planet remains faithful to the Miss Universe pageant

The Philippines needs the Beauty Pageants because we are always winning nowadays. Our country is always battered with calamities and with these wins, it gives us hope and it brings happiness to Filipinos especially in the middle of any disasters. That was also the case of Olivia Culpo for the US. MUO let her win the competition despite of her luckster performance with the gown and interview. The US was in the midis of awful incident that her win can overshadow it.

Never mind the superficial. Watching pageants brings a respite from the harsh realities of what might be lacking in daily life. Pinoys are allergic to ugliness, that is almost assured, and love to watch spectacles that represent the fantasy world of what is true, good and beautiful.

I watched the video that you posted ... and another one of that video blogger .
And I agree with her .
Manila became the pageant capital of the world .
And it’s very evident in the recent Miss Universe pageant .
Many Filipinos trained some delegates .. and of course the big revelation that so many Filipino fashion designers are lending their gowns for free .

It’s ironic really .

So many pageant fans are attacking the Philippines ... yet national directors are looking for pinoy trainers and fashion designers.

I don’t see it that way .

Pageant fans like me essentially don’t know what really going on ... I’m just an outsider looking in .
The inner circle of pageant industry apparently there’s so much going on .

If they are looking for Pinoy trainers and fashion designers. they must have seen something good about us.
But if their intention is to USE them and have their gowns for free ... and the Pinoy agreed because he wants to
have a crack at stardom ... that's another story.

Not only them, they are looking for judges from the Philippines.

Mababaw lang kasi ang kaligayahan nating mga Pinoy at ang maraming third world Countries. Masaya na tayo na may mapatunayan tayo sa mga patimpalak na Yan kahit magkanda leche leche na sa lahat.

USA has the most Miss Universe winners but no one cares about them in America. Katwiran Nila wala namang mangyayari sa kanila if a woman wins a crown. Anong pride meron dun?

Venezuela has the second most number of winners and it's a big deal because ganon lang din sila kababaw. It allows them to escape their problems but then, kahit madaming diyosa Doon e Wala namang gustong pumunta ng Venezuela. Wala namang naiambag sa estado ng bansa Nila ang pagka panalo kasi corrupt pa rin sila Gaya natin sa Pinas.

Latinas and Asians are fascinated about the Caucasian anesthetic kasi Yan ang sinet ng first world countries. Kaya Sina Pina, Catriona and Megan diyosa dito pero sobrang common lang Nila sa USA at Europe. Tayo naman sa Pinas common na ang native Asian looks and as always racist din tayo sa Africans kasi nga feelingerong Amerikano ang peg natin since the early 1900s.

I've realized what's being hyped about by the TS is pageantry in general which is larger in scope than the average presentation of beauty of face, of form and substance. That pageants demand skillful organizational talent paired with a robust mix of flamboyance, opulence and image building that make these events grandiose or extravagant to a certain degree. That, the Philippines is never wanting in and hugely capable of never mind the constraints of an open budget often resulting to a scaling down, hence, the absence of flair in staging the event of such magnitude.

Beautywatchnyc, the scale of your thoughts whenever you write an articles after articles are too vague and too much to handle with my own comprehensions. I can't read between the lines no matter how hard I keep trying. If you can scale down or level off with the words you're putting out, at least we would be at the same page and the line of communications are equated. Please don't get offended, we are just squaring things out.

The report is just coming in that a Pinay will represent Miss USA in December. Her portfolio is great being a pageant veteran and finishing to be a Vet Med. She's the first runner to the current Miss USA Asya. She will be appointed soon being the first runner up and it's so tight already to hold a pageant for another Miss USA edition for Miss U in December. She's another factor that MUP Org should consider if we want to win. For Philippines, they should send a strong candidate with a great portfolio like her.

esperasave, problem is yours not mine. why should i satisfy your cravings if you're unable to read my thoughts? i don't understand why you have to square off with me if you can't be in my league? I write to express, not to impress you. there's a better solution. concentrate on the stuff you want said as i do mine. fair enough? thank you for taking the time to read. quite frankly, i don't need to hunger up nor chase you for what else you want to say in these pages!

without straying too far, you've bragged repeatedly in recent comments how much you earn monthly in dollar units not knowing probably how much one earns is a very personal matter no one else need to know nor be announced for the world to what, appreciate? and you've also told us quite too often about the wonders of what you trained for for your bread and butter but i leave that to you if that makes you feel complete as a person. squaring off?, there, have a load!

I'm not bragging about my monthly salary. I am telling you what I am worthy about because you seemed to disrespect my views and so on. However, I told you before hand not to be offended if i have asked to scale down your writings where everybody could understand your messages. It is because personally, i couldn't read between the lines. It is too self absorb and vague most of the time. We are herë to empower people in a positive way, not the other way around so I write my views where everybody could reach out my messages with full understanding. Not just to impress or express but to reach out to people with connection of your opinions and thoughts.

Is that so? Did you ever learn professional ethics in school? No one seemed to be asking nor interested to find out. It's not quite decent telling people about how much your emolument package equates to in dollar or sterling units particularly in a public fora such as this. I didn't have to lecture you on this -- perhaps it's something that is not part of a Nursing school curricula. But because you volunteered the information, go ahead. Make your day.

You seemed to disrespect my profession which is nursing and the whole people employed as a nurse. In your statement before, you've said that we clean up butts and toilets. But you have wrong conceptions about it. I explained it to you that our clients clean up their own butt and if in case that we have to clean up a patients, it's because they are too critical and ill that they can't do it themselves. It's our own little way that in the midst of their sufferings, we are to help in a compassionate, respectful and dignified way specifically in that circumstance. In our day to day job, we never spread hate, negativity and toxicities because we were trained in nursing schools all kinds of loveliness. Just like the beauty queens, before they goes to the venues to compete, they would have to be trained with intelligence as well as personality development and all those loveliness months and sometimes years. If in case youre still doubtful, ask Venus and the rest of the women who competed to bring the continuous streak of the Philippines since 2010.

I already know about that esperasave. There's no absolute need for a lecture. Saddle your horses and stay grounded. Peeps who've been there, done what exactly, do not go around telling everyone in the fora what they've achieved in both their professional or personal life. One doesn't peddle nor boast his achievements unnecessarily particularly if no one seems interested nor wants to take notice. If you still don't get it, I don't find any thing wrong with people cleaning butts, peoples' homes and toilets. it's a job that needs done professionally or with technical expertise. Who says it doesn't deserve respect it is due? But to be candid, what I find off and irreconcilable is when someone starts telling everyone how much he's earning weekly or monthly because for me that leaves a bad taste and ill construed as something alienating. It's my personal take. We can agree to disagree.

People should understand that never underestimate someone's worth or else they might be worth more than you do in terms of personal or financial security. Agree with that? Just like the beauty queens, some people judged them in a very negative and toxic way. But look at them, how far and beyond they have achieved both personally and financially as compared to others? Go to your çore and see how far yourself can you go or you've been.
