THE "MUTIA TI LA UNION 2013" BEAUTY WATCH (Series 2 of 4)

Caba, Luna, Rosario, San Fernando City and San Juan

By Jetset Alejandro

CABA’S Ella Avena Ramos is a student at the University of Cordilleras and is a very competitive candidate among local and regional pageants. She is a known habitué in bikini competitions and as such she has that body to flaunt during the swimsuit competition. She was simply overpowering in their school competition at the College of Technology Olympics at DMMSU-MLUC. She was a hit among pageant watchers in the San Benito Sur and San Simon East Bikini Opens and she competed head on collision with other beauties in an invitational beauty pageant in Baroro, Bacnotan, La Union. Her utmost personal characteristics are being hardworking and independent. Added to those characteristics, she considers herself pretty and smart enough. It is no wonder that when it was the time to compete for the title of her hometown she was ready to show her killer moves and the aura of a winner emanated from her from the start of the pageant till she was crowned Miss Caba 2012. Here’s wishing her good luck to the Mutia ti La Union 2013. 

LUNA’s JEWEL is Michell R. De Guzman. And from some personal accounts of those who have watched the pageant, she stomped the pageant with her commanding presence and answer to the final question. She would therefore typify the adage that what separates the chaff from the grains is wisdom. And she exudes that wisdom coming from the young. With her innate charms and chic presentation Michell will surely slug it out with the other hopefuls for the Mutia ti La Union 2013 crown. 

ROSARIO’s bet for this year is CHRISTINE JOY PICARDAL who had been Agoo’s representative in 2011. She was semifinalist in that edition and she hopes to comeback with a bang! Christine is a medical technology student at St. Louis University and is in her senior year. She is also turned into a volleyball coach for their team on account of her outstanding capability as a player and tactician. If by any standards, she is said to be crossover candidate like Miss Aringay, Bauang and Agoo. Will her star shine brightest this time? Will she make it to a Top 5 position? Well, here’s wishing her the best of luck.

SAN FERNANDO CITY’s representative KASHMIR HERNAEZ is a student of Lorma Colleges is a multi-awarded beauty pageant participant. She has joined Miss Magic 2009, Miss Virginia Tobacco 2009, La Union Surfing Bodies 2011 and Baggak ti Begnas 2011 for which she had been a major winner if not the title holder. It is no surprise therefore that she won the title of Miss San Fernando City 2012 over the other contenders. With a very famed history in beauty pageants, I will not doubt if she will be one of the front-runners in this La Union pageant edition.

SAN JUAN’s KRYSTEL MENGOTE is a student of the University of the Cordilleras taking up BS Tourism Management. She is a known homebody. But mind you, she is of fun and high spirit because when she gets to be with people she shows how bubbly her personality is. She loves listening to music and on occasion she watches mostly American TV series in the boobtube. She speaks fondly of the triumph Miss USA Olivia Culpo as the new Miss Universe because not so tall girls are given the chance to shine and be crowned as winners in the beauty pageant arena.
