Search for next Megan Young on via first Miss World PHL franchise in East Coast
A newly established Filipino-led production company in the US is set to launch the first-ever Miss World Philippines' franchise in the East Coast by way of the 2014 Miss Philippines Quest USA pageant.
The pageant will be held on July 12 at Symphony Space in Broadway, New York, according to a press statement from the Synergy Production & Marketing Inc., the company behind the event.
Synergy Production is the same company behind the recently concluded concert “An Evening of Original Philippine Music with Cecile Azarcon, Lorrie Ilustre, and Fil-Am Artists in New York and New Jersey,” also held at the Symphony Space.
The company will hold the 2014 Miss Philippines Quest USA pageant “with its eyes firmly set on the promotion of Filipino-American talents in the East Coast,” the statement read.
“We’re truly grateful to Fil-Am organizations, colleagues, friends, and family members who came out to support Synergy Production’s tribute concert to Original Philippine Music (OPM) and legendary Filipino songwriter Cecile Azarcon held last month,” said Synergy Production’s Grace Labaguis, who also serves as marketing consultant for GMA Pinoy TV and GMA Life TV, international channels of GMA Network Inc.
“With the outpouring love and support that we got, we now feel more inspired to do our best at promoting deserving Fil-Am talents,” she added. “Without missing a beat, and with the blessing of Ms. Cory Quirino, the franchise owner of Miss World Philippines, our search for the East Coast’s official representative to the prestigious Miss World pageant—through our very own Miss Philippines Quest USA—is our next platform.”
Quirino, for her part, shared her enthusiasm for collaborating with Synergy Production.
“Because of the success of Megan Young, Miss World 2013, we are encouraged to widen our search in order to give every eligible Filipina a chance to make her Beauty Queen dreams come true. We are confident that our partnership with Synergy Production will lead to a deserving winner who will ably represent the Filipino community in the US,” she said.
Miss World is a highly reputable international beauty pageant, which originated in the United Kingdom in 1951. Its "Beauty with a Purpose" campaign, in particular, has raised hundreds of millions of pounds, which have been donated to various organizations in aid of disadvantaged children across the globe.
Apparently, Fil-Ams in the New York Tri-State area have recently been reacquainted with Miss World’s charity projects through the shining example set by its reigning Filipina Miss World Megan Young, who globetrotted London, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Jakarta in less than two weeks to raise funds for the victims of super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in the Visayas.
Rey Yumang, a beauty pageant connoisseur, said, “Single Filipinas in the East Coast should join Miss Philippines Quest USA to chase their dreams and make a difference in the lives of many. This first-ever franchise of Miss World Philippines pageant will definitely be a springboard for many modern-day Filipina beauty queens to promote and support worthy causes and advocacies.”
“Be a part of the Miss World Philippines’ family and know what the true purpose and role of a Beauty Queen is: one who truly uses her beauty and intelligence to raise the Filipino flag proudly before all the world to see,” said Quirino.
Synergy Production, together with Izzajaye Dungca of One10 Collection and Mabel Sigmon of MS Event Solutions, will conduct screenings of prospective Miss Philippines Quest USA pageant contestants on May 17 and 24, 1 to 6 p.m., at 71 West 23rd St., Suite 1628, New York, NY. 17-24 year-old single Filipinas, 5’6” or taller, may apply.
