Cory Quirino: No-ill feelings towards Miss World

-




Television host and wellness guru Cory Quirino has said that she has no-ill feelings towards Miss World Organization adding that she has moved on from handling the local franchise of the prestigious beauty pageant.

"No. I can't have ill-feelings with Miss World because this is the brand that I built here. It's like your baby. You created it, you have to nurture it," said Quirino when asked if she had any resentment against the popular international pageant, during an exclusive interview at the launch of the revolutionary anti-aging food supplement Novuskin Lift at a hotel in Makati City recently.

Quirino is the brand ambassador of Novuskin Lift which she said "provides not only skin protection but also skin restoration and rejuvenation." She explained: "It is more than just a beauty prod
uct, it also offers health benefits to one's well-being by delaying the early signs of aging visible to the skin."

Quirino also wished talent manager Arnold Vegafria good luck after he was awarded the local franchise of Miss World Philippines (MWP) contest. She groomed Megan Lynne Young, the first Miss World titleholder from the Philippines, who won in Bali, Indonesia in 2013. 

"I just hope that Arnold will give it as much love and passion and energy and focus the way I did. I'm sure he can do a good job," she said.

When she left MWP, Quirino said that she did not consult anyone except the Lord. "I just consulted the Lord. I just felt it was time to go because if you will look historically at the gap between winning crowns for the Philippines, except for Miss International and Miss Earth, but Miss Universe and Miss World are two major titles in beauty pageants, look at the gap. How long it takes to win a crown?"

Quirino admitted that she was really expecting Miss Philippines Catriona Gray to win at the 66th Miss World contest in Maryland, USA. But she only placed fourth.

"The truth is we really expected her to win the crown. Many national directors told me that they surrender the Miss World crown to the Philippines. So my expectations then were very high. We did well, comparatively speaking, but we didn't do extremely well which was my goal," she said.

After the Miss World contest in USA, she has not heard from the Bicolano beauty queen who just arrived in Manila recently.

"I haven't heard from Catriona. I didn't know that she was back. We're planning our appreciation with all our friends in media, sponsors. I'm just trying to get everyone together, including the past queens," Quirino said.

Fans of Gray encouraged her to try her luck in Binibining Pilipinas pageant next year. 

Asked to comment on the wish of Gray's followers, Quirino said: "I would advise her to try again. That kind of beauty and talent is not your ordinary package, no ordinary combination. She's actually quite unique. She should try again."

Quirino said that she will now focus on her wellness campaign now that she is no longer connected with MWP.

"I will now continue full blast promoting wellness nationwide and this I will include my TV show in ANC 'Graceful Living.' I take my advocacy in  DZMM every Sunday," she added. - Robert Requintina/TEMPO

And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family. "Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding. It’s just that we have been told over and over for about a year already that it would take “just one more month or two na la
