Miss United Continents Philippines Joanna Camelle Mercado was given a sendoff press con at Limbaga 77 Cafe Restaurant in Quezon City yesterday before she flies to Guayaquil, Ecuador to represent the Philippines at this year’s edition of the annual Miss United Continents.
The Miss United Continents Philippines Organization is under a new management that is led by its owner and national director, Jeslyn Santos who won as Miss United Continents 2016.
With her is Jean Lacsina Tumang, Miss Tourism Philippines Model of the Universe 2016 as the general manager and Andy Cayna, international media photographer as the organization’s public relations director.
The organization aims to help and support aspiring beauty queens to showcase the true meaning of “Uniquely Beautiful” Filipina.
Looking back, Miss United Continents Philippines has produced its international queen, National Director Jeslyn Santos. The team then was headed by the late John de la Vega. He was the one who first brought the Miss United Continents here in the Philippines.
The year 2016 was when the first Filipina — and first Asian — was crowned as Miss United Continents in Guayaquil, Ecuador. It happened during De La Vega’s supervision. That early, he already made a mark in the international scene.
With that being said, the organization will work towards the success of this year’s edition.
Camelle has a degree in Secondary Education and is a teacher by profession. She is 26 years old and hails from Floridablanca, Pampanga.
She is set to compete in the Miss United Continents 2022 to be held in Portoviejo, Ecuador.
The pageant’s activities will start on July 21, and the coronation night is on August 6.
“The Miss United Continents Philippines Organization is determined to prove that Filipinas are worth the crown, an international crown,” Jeslyn Santos said.
