Mrs Tourism 2017 bets share views on domestic violence

-


Several candidates to the Mrs. Tourism 2017 beauty pageant gave their unsolicited advice to women who are victims of domestic violence.

During press presentation for the candidates of Mrs. Tourism 2017 pageant held at the West Avenue Suites in Quezon City last Saturday, Mrs. Philippines Dr. Riza Caldoza de Leon said that battered wives should be empowered by keeping themselves busy.

"As a doctor, I had patients who are battered especially the younger ones. Kasi s'yempre wala pang voice yan eh. They are under the thumbs of their husbands. So I would tell them that they have to empower themselves. The No. 1 thing that they can do is work because if they are not working, lahat hihingiin sa asawa.


"But if they have money of their own, they can stand for their rights. And they have earning of their own. They will have the power to buy their own things, and gain that much needed self-confidence. For battered women, the confidence is very low. So I advise them to get work  earn money and try to stand up for themselves. It's hard but at the end of the day, they can do it," said de Leon.


Mrs. New Zealand Marivic Murray said: "Being a mother, it's really hard to balance being a mom and a working mom and having kids. In New Zealand, we have this place called 'Women Refuge' where we take battered women so that they can have a better chance in life. If you're a battered woman, it doesn't mean that you don't have a chance in life anymore. So you have to be really on your toes and make the best you can. Have the courage to get out there and present yourself.


Mrs. South Africa Sashqia Boshoff said: "Be yourself and make time to be a woman. And then spend your time in helping everyone. Also help yourself. Make time for doing what you love. If you love cooking, then cook! Cook with all of your heart but also, don't forget to take care of yourself."


Mrs. Singapore Krati Agrawal said: "First of all, you yourself should feel encouraged and then it is the best platform to collect your own confidence. So to educate the people about the advocacy or issues you feel strongly about, you can spread awareness, educate the people about them and also tell them how to handle the various issues our earth is facing."


The Mrs. Tourism 2017 beauty pageant will crown three queens: Mrs. Tourism Earth, Mrs. Tourism International and Mrs. Tourism Universe at the Star Mall in San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan on Oct. 28.


Pageant organizer Ovette Ricalde said that the winners will be the faces and voices of the pageant's advocacy to stop racial discrimination and promote her own social platform.


Prior to the finals, the candidates will travel to Lucena and Tayabas, Quezon for pre-pageant activities on national costume, talent and fun shoot. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. 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
