Jewel of the Philippines, a multi-titled beauty competition led by events and pageant director and beauty queen maker John de la Vega, has signed a partnership with KIF Travel and Leisure, a company that ventures into property development and applications, during ceremonies held at the Resorts World Manila in Pasay City recently.

De la Vega said that the special partnership with KIF owner and CEO Tu Yu Han will boost the wonderful friendship between the Philippines and China.

"The rich culture and friendly people make the Philippines a perfect destination for both business and leisure. And the partnership with Jewel of the Philippines is a good start which might extend all the way to the staging of a new Philippine-based international contest - Jewel of the World - next year. It is also our way of showing our love and appreciation for the wonderful friendship the two countries enjoy," said Mr. Tu Yu Han, during welcome remarks for the launch of the pageant.

De la Vega said that the partnership aims to introduce non-traditional "cultural experience" by way of a beauty pageant.


Tu Yu Han believes the Philippines makes a strategic regional hub for the company as it boosts of many scenic spots, colorful traditions and exciting adventures.

"My goal is for the pageant to be come an avenue to showcase the rich Filipino culture and its truly magnificent artistic expressions through a spectacle of beauty. One that is always overlooked is the promotion of our own culture and heritage," said de la Vega.

"With the re-branding of Jewel of the Philippines to a 'cultural pageant,' young Filipinas are expected to be made our culturally aware eventually becoming 'advocates of Philippine culture and the arts,' " de la Vega also said.
