Alyssa Muhlach Alvarez safe in Bolivia after flight delay

-


Pageant fans missed out on Alyssa Muhlach Alvarez of the Philippines when the official candidates for this year's Reina Hispanoamericana 2018 pageant on-going in Bolivia were presented to the press.

During the special show broadcast live on social media last Monday (Tuesday in Manila), pageant fans noticed that Alvarez was not among the 30 official candidates presented to the international media.

Alvarez, 22, daughter of actress Almira Muhlach and basketball star Paul Alvarez, says that she skipped the press presentation because her flight was delayed due to bad weather.


On Instagram, the acoustic singer says: "32 hours of traveling from Manila to Vancouver to New York to Panama and finally to Santa Cruz, Bolivia! Although I didn’t make it to the Press Presentation earlier because my flight was delayed (due to the bad weather in Panama), I am still so honored and excited to represent the Philippines/Filipinas in Reina Hispanoamericana 2018!" She has arrived in Bolivia safely.

Although not a basis in choosing the winner, the press presentation of a beauty pageant serves as an opportunity for the members of media to get to know the candidates up-close through interviews.

The niece of actor Aga Muhlach has also called on pageant fans to support her in her journey to the Latina-dominated beauty pageant.


"I am Alyssa Muhlach Alvarez and I am your Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2018. I am humbly asking for your support in my Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas journey. Kindly help me with the RHA 2018 Voting by liking my photo in the Reina Hispanoamericana Instagram account (@rhispanaoficial);

"The RHA 2018 candidate with the most likes on her photo will automatically be a finalist for Reina Hispanoamericana 2018. I am praying that I can bring home the RHA crown again so we can have a back to back win. Thank you so much!," Alvarez says.


Kapuso actress Teresita Ssen "Winwyn" Marquez is the reigning Reina Hispanoamericana.

Alvarez, niece of actor Aga Muhlach, admits there is pressure to duplicate the victory of Marquez because there was only little time to prepare as she leaves for the contest on Tuesday, Oct. 23. So far, Marquez is the only Filipino and Asian to win in the 27-year-old international pageant.


Asked about the meaningful advice Marquez ever gave her, Alvarez says: "I've talked to win win multiple times na po. In Reina Hispanoamericana, it's super competitive and puro tarayan daw po. But she told me to be myself and be nice to all the people."

The grand finals of Reina Hispanoamericana 2018 beauty contest will be held on Nov. 3. - 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.

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.
