-


Four successful married women, incuding two showbiz personalities, who through their professions and personal efforts are making extraordinary differences in the lives of others or the community, will represent the Philippines in international beauty pageants.

These beauty queens are: actress Patricia Javier, who will be the country's delegate to Noble Queen of the Universe 2019 in December; actress Charo Laude, Mrs Universe 2019, China; Cheryl Fordan Villanueva, Mrs Tourism 2019, October; and Ching delos Reyes, Mrs Plus-Size contest, 2020.

Under the auspices of Mrs Universe Finest Woman (MUFW), these honorable women were presented to the press by its national director Marilou Tolico-Villanueva during meet-and-greet at Dulcinea Restaurant in Quezon City Wednesday.

Marilou has represented the Philippines in Mrs Universe 2017 in Durban; and Mrs World 2017 in Johannesburg, both in South Africa. She is currently the Face of Dermcare Skin Center


The pageants under MUFW are organized by the Philippines Honorable Queens (PGQ) which recognizes the role of women in society by giving awards to women in their chosen field.

"We support various programs that include anti-violence on women and kids, anti-depression campaign, livelihood and seminar programs, anti-bullying, micro-entrepreneurs, among others," said Marilou.

Javier and Laude have switched pageants for personal reasons.

"Gusto ko pong makasama ang pamilya ko sa Pasko kaya hindi na ako sumali sa Mrs. Universe. Inuna ko talaga ang family ko bago ito. Masasagasaan talaga ng pageant yung Christmas," Javier said.

Laude, who currently stars in the top-rating Kapamilya teleserye "Kadenang Ginto," said that it is okay for her to spend the holidays abroad.

Both Javier and Laude were batchmates in Binibining Pilipinas in their younger days.

They were also groupmates in the now defunct "That's Entertainment" on GMA-7.

Said Laude: "We were the last batch before 'That's' finally bid goodbye on air." 

Delos Reyes, businesswoman; and Cheryl, a teacher in Makati, said that they are excited to join their respective pageants so that they can share their advocacies to the world. (Robert R. 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

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.
