Armi Oliver Farinas vies for Mrs. Int'l Global Classic

-


A Filipino realtor who is based in Hawaii will represent the Philippines in the Mrs. International Global Classic pageant which will be held in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia on January 26.

Armi Oliver Farinas, 52, of Pangasinan, will compete for the title along with 30 other women from around the world in a pageant for empowered married women.

Farinas and her husband Nestor have three children. She is currently completing her doctorate degree in business administration at the Liberty University in Virginia, USA. She said that she will finish her doctorate degree in two years.


Farinas is no stranger to the world of beauty and fashion having engaged herself on similar projects when she was younger.

Asked about the reaction of her family when she decided to compete in an international pageant, Farinas said: "They are very supportive, although at first I have to explain a lot of things. I told them that the pageant would be a wonderful platform to promote our business with
the other candidates."

"Age is just a number. At any age, you can be what you want to be as long as your heart is in it. You can be what you want as long as you have the faith and determination," she added.


Ovette Ricalde, national director of Mrs. International Global Classic Philippines contest, said that Farinas holds a dual citizenship. She is an American and a Filipino.

But Ricalde said that Farinas is qualified to join the pageant and represent the Philippines because she also owns a Philippine passport.

When she was asked a theoretical question on which citizenship she would choose, Farinas said: "I'm a proud Filipina. I would choose the Filipino citizenship. I'm closer to the Philippines. My relatives
are here." - ROBERT REQUINTINA

"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

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.
