PHILIPPINES IS AIMING FOR A BACK TO BACK AT THE MRS. TOURISM PAGEANT 2018
By Noli A. Berioso
The Philippines is all set to make a record at the 2018 edition of the Mrs. Tourism pageant slated on October 28 to be held at the historic Dapitan City, Zamboanga Del Norte.
The country’s representative to the annual beauty pageant for married women is Mrs. Myla Villagonzalo Tsutaicihi, a 44 year old mother, wife and entrepreneur. Myla is very optimistic that she will duplicate the performance of Dr. Risa Caldoza who bagged the Mrs. Tourism International title last year in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. Myla is a native of Baliuag, Bulacan. She has 3 children (2 girls and a boy) and married to Japanese engineer Fumio Tsutaicihi. She will be wearing a Muslim inspired national costume designed by Edwin Uy. Myla is not new in the pageant’s world, she already competed at the Mrs. International Global in Malaysia last January.
A special send-off press conference was held last October 12 at Bless Las Paellas Restaurant in Greenhills, San Juan owned by another beauty queen, Manila Best Dressed awardee and philanthropist Jessie Maloles. The Spanish inspired fine dining restaurant with Filipino fusion is fast becoming a favorite of diners in the metropolis.
Present during the event is no less than the organizer of the pageant Mr. Ovette Ricalde who is expressed his gratitude to all the sponsors and supporters of Mrs. Tourism pageant especially the City of Dapitan headed by their Mayor, Rosalina “Nene” Jalosjos. Close to thirty international beauties will converge in the City for the second edition of the pageant.
There will be 5 titles at stake this year, Mrs. Tourism Globe, Mrs. Tourism Earth, Mrs. Tourism International, Mrs. Tourism World and Mrs. Tourism Universe. The winners will be the voice of the Mrs. Tourism advocacy which is to stop discrimination and at the same time to promote their own personal social platform.
