Miss Tourism PHL 2018 pageant turns dreams into reality

-


Amelia "Amy" Sunio-Abarquez, philanthropist and organizer of the Miss Tourism Philippines beauty pageant, has called on other beauty contest organizers to prove the people that they are for real and not just for show.

"There’s so many pageant these days and it’s so hard to gain the trust of people. Sana dapat tayong mga involve sa pageants, hindi lang tayo dapat kumikita. Let us show them that our advocacy is for real," said Abarquez in an exclusive interview in Pasig City recently. Joining Abarquez in the team is Antonio "Tony" Abarquez, an entrepreneur and civic leader.


Amelia also said: "Critics have the right to bash us but we really need to show them that we are for real. Heto kami. Hopefully, in the near future, we will gain the trust and confidence of the people. We really have to earn our stars."

She added: "Pageants are here to help translate the dreams of candidates into reality."


Amelia said that the Miss Tourism Philippines pageant hopes to produce a winner "who can talk much about our culture, tradition, tourist spots in the Philippines."

"She has to be a good Philippine ambassador. Not more on the physical but then I want someone who can really promote the Philippines and be a good role model. Be loyal, be confident and be supportive to the advocacy of the Miss Tourism Philippines pageants," she added.


The Miss Tourism Philippines pageant has also tied up with several groups that will push for the promotion of Philippine tourism.

"Through this pageant, I expect more exposure in Philippine tourism, more partnerships with the local government units and more cooperation with other corporate sponsors. We have partnered with the Department of Tourism and Department of Interior and Local Government. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont
