Team Red is (L-R) Diana, Leslie, Keena, me, Jane and Pia
I finally got to spend some time with the Red Team – the 5 pageant-hopefuls that I’m mentoring in Pinay Beauty Queen Academy. The photo above was our very first meeting as a group, during the reality show’s press launching at Fishermall a couple weeks back.
It so happens that I’ve worked with Pia Pialago in the past. We worked together at RPN Newswatch. She continues to work as a reporter for PTV 4. But she’s put that career on ice for Pinay Beauty Queen Academy. Pia’s best asset is her sensual beauty specially when photographed.
Then Dianna Qeblawi – altho we never formally met until the press launch, I had already seen her compete in a tourism pageant which I also judged. Diana is a gorgeous Mideast-Pinay model and one of the prettiest girls in the entire batch.
Leslie Ramos is one of the shyest girls in Team Red but she’s fabulous when she crawls out of shell! For me, her gorgeous milky skin and expressive eyes are her best features.
The one with the best catwalk in my team would have to be Keena Togher. Keena works as a model and has some experience in pageant competition. I love the sexy way she negotiates the stage… like a mermaid on legs!
Now if I could award the Best in Swimsuit this early, I’d give it to Jane Sotomayor for her 22-inch waistline and loooong sinuous legs! She is also great on the catwalk and her Pinay beauty suits the academy well.
PINAY BEAUTY QUEEN ACADEMY starts airing this Saturday, October 4, 2014 on GMA News TV Channel 11. It will run every Saturday night at 9:45 until December 2014. See more photos of Team Red as well as the other lovely pageant students of the academy on their Facebook, just click HERE.
