OPMBWorldwide latest Top 15 picks for Miss World Philippines 2017
For the 4 crowns at stake Miss World Philippines, Miss Hispanica Americana Filipinas, Miss Multinational and Miss Eco Philippines these 4 ladies in ramdom order are upfront
Cynthia Thomalla
Growing up an athletic girl, Cynthia’s mother steered her to pageants to be more “feminine”. She has now grown to be quite the renaissance woman and even goes beyond the norms of modern femininity. With the heart for service, she’s done public service in Cebu and has taught children about life and how they can give back to the community. With strong feelings against suicide, she pushes for awareness of its prevention.
Zara Carbonell
Zara uses her voice to uplift. Through her hosting, she becomes a lively spirit of events. Also growing up playing football, muay thai, and cheerleading, all these contribute to her being a “ball of sunshine”. She dreams to share this attitude by using her voice to counsel—focusing on personality development—for young Filipina women, eventually wanting to hold focus group discussions to help girls all over the Philippines.
Teresita Ssen Marquez
In Winwyn’s words, “it’s empty to walk around in heels without meaning.” She loves walking in her runway-worthy shoes, but would not think twice to trade them for a more comfortable pair of a teacher’s. Coming from a family of celebrities, she is paving her own path in humble service. She’s currently earning her teaching certificate and volunteering for Southville International School and Colleges.
Janela Joy Cuaton
Janela thrives in her interests. A girl raised in Qatar, she has the love for reading, swimming, cooking, and baking. Living with fulfilling passions pushes her to inspire others to find their own. This is her advocacy—called Fashion meets Passion, wherein different types of workshops are given to children, and which proceeds pour over to different groups in need in the Philippines.
Closing in are:
Laura Lehmann -
Aside from being sporty, Laura’s life revolves around traveling. Having found her fondness for the islands of the Philippines—specifically her favorite, Batanes—she’s currently hosting for a travel show in Asia. This eventually translated to advocating for PREP (Promoting Rural Education in the Philippines), in which she spends a day with elementary kids in different parts of the country to prepare lessons and build libraries for them.
Jeanyifer Ozbot -
Jeanyfer uses positivity as her power. A fitness enthusiast and dog-lover from Iloilo, she joined Miss World to represent her city and help charities. She’s always inspired by her mom who’s raising her single-handedly and challenged by living with the absence of her father. Her advocacy is dedicated to abandoned senior citizens who reside in elderly homes, to help them feel that they are not forgotten.
The remaining 9 ladies are:
Glyssa Perez
Rose Flores
Jona Sweet
Gabriela Ortega
Cristina Coloma
Jellie Escandon
Sheila Reyes
KC Cajandig
Noelle Uy - Tuazon
The final prediction with rankings will be on September 3.
