THE Queen of Hearts Foundation Inc., together with Lumiere International Pageantry, has handpicked Sheenary Tamagos as Miss Philippines Lumiere International World 2021.
Due to the immediacy of the request for an official candidate, the organization decided to handpick her for the pageant. The international pageant will be held virtually next month.
Five winners will be selected and will travel to Singapore for the crowning of the new Miss Lumiere International World.
Tamagos, 22, was previously one of the candidates of Miss Queen of Hearts Philippines 2021 before she was pulled out of the roster for the international pageant.
Sheenary is a graduate of Bachelor of Industrial Engineering Major in Electronics Technology at Cavite State University and currently working at Gateway Business Park in Cavite.
Sheenary is also an Enlisted Reservist Officer of the 402nd Cavite READY Reserve Infantry Battalion, 402nd CDC and 4th RCDG Arescom.
Tamagos is currently doing the required photo and video shoots for the international virtual competition with the Queen of Hearts production team composed of: Andrew Duma-up, director; Ferdinand Abejon, overall coordinator; Kenny Filarca, technical director/photographer; Ohnie, HMUA and Josephus Ople Canabuan, producer.
For the national costume, Sheenary will be wearing a spectacular Mindanao-inspired national costume by Dave John Basilio. Her evening gown will be an elegant creation by Benj Leguiab IV.
Meanwhile, the Miss Queen of Hearts Philippines 2021 pageant commenced its virtual competitions with the national costume presentation last May 15 where the contestants showcased the diverse culture, heritage and traditions of their respective provinces and localities.
The head-to-head challenge has also been done with a few more competitions up for livestreaming (intro video and adcocacy, swimsuit and evening gown) before the live finals scheduled for June 11, 2021.
The winners will represent the country in various international pageants this year and next, and will automatically become members of the Queen of Hearts Foundation Family, headed by its founder and Mrs. Asia Pacific Tourism 2018; they will participate in the year-round charity missions of the foundation to help underprivileged families, especially their children, throughout the country.
