ANILA, Philippines — What defines Filipina beauty?
It’s more than the exotic facial features and piercing eyes, although Filipinas are definitely known for it. True beauty comes with grace, intelligence, and purpose — just ask our slew of local beauty queens.
In their mission
to promote and celebrate different kinds of beauty, Silka, the flagship
brand of Cosmetique Asia Corporation, holds a yearly search for Miss
Silka Philippines. Regional competitions are held in provinces from
Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. 26 candidates are ultimately picked to
compete in the nationwide pageant.
Miss Silka Philippines culminated its tenth
anniversary with the coronation night, held last November 17 at the
Market! Market! Activity Center.
The event was hosted by Mikael Daez and former Binibining Pilipinas MJ Lastimosa.
Judges included actors Empoy Marquez and Gil Cuerva, Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 Kris Tiffany Janson, stylist Ica Villanueva, and Silka Marketing Manager Jane Co.
This year’s winners are as follows:
Best in casual wear: Ashanti Shaine Ervas, Quezon
Best in talent: Aijeleth Myrizza Borja, Zamboanga
Best in swimwear: Dannielle Nichole Jabanero, Caraga
Best in evening wear: Andrea Fe Gomez, Baguio
Popular choice award: Aijeleth Myrizza Borja, Zamboanga
Miss Congeniality: Spring Ann Nagle, Dumaguete
Miss Juicy Cologne: Sheena Marie Francesca Licong, Bohol
Miss Photogenic: Nicole Borromeo, Cebu
3rd runner up: Nikita Pearl Teichmuller, Cagayan Valley
2nd runner up: Nicole Borromeo, Cebu
1st runner-up: Ashanti Shaine Ervas, Quezon
Nineteen-year-old Baguio native Andrea Fe Gomez won
the crown and was declared this year’s Miss Silka Philippines. The
fourth-year psychology major admitted that the win was unexpected, given
that she was unable to prepare properly for the pageant because of
school.

But this shows how confidence can pull you through.
Andrea said, “I think I won because I was just being myself. I wasn’t
really thinking of it as a competition because I didn’t want to let it
get to me.”
Aside from the P150,000 cash prize, Andrea also gets
to donate P100,000 to her chosen charity. She picked Helping Hands,
Healing Hearts, an organization which provides medical aid to children
and their families.
“These kids are victims of abuse. They were abandoned. Since I’m a psychology major, I know I can help them,” she said.
Proving that beauty isn’t skin-deep, Andrea added, “I
think what makes a Filipina beautiful are her personality and
characteristics. Filipinos are very unique and you can really see that
when you go to other countries.” — Rappler.com
