All eyes
are in Filipino-British Rachel Peters this month as she starts to showcase on
the Miss Universe stage her confidently beautiful charm. She is expected to
continue the winning streak of her predecessors since Venus Raj in 2010 at the world’s
most anticipated beauty pageant.
Peters, who
just turned 26 on October 20, hails from Camarines Sur and has a Bachelor’s
degree in Business, Tourism and Events at La Trobe University in Australia and
completed her International Baccalaureate at the British School in Phuket,
Thailand. The 5-foot-8 model was at the
center of the triple send-off party with fellow Bb. Pilipinas queens Chanel
Olive Thomas and Katarina Rodriguez tendered by the Binibining Pilipinas
Charities, Inc. (BPCI), led by BPCI chairman Stella Marquez-Araneta, at the
Monet Ballroom of Novotel Manila-Araneta Center on November 6.
While the
66th Miss Universe will be held in Las Vegas on November 26, the Miss
Supranational where Thomas will compete is in Poland on December 1 and
Rodriguez at the Miss Intercontinental in Sri Lanka on December 21. Bb.
Pilipinas-International Mariel de Leon is presently in Japan aiming to retain the
Miss International crown, currently held by Kylie Versoza, during the finals
set on November 14.
The four
Philippine representatives are buoyed up with the recent strong finishes of Elizabeth
Clenci and Nelda Ibe, 2nd runner-up at the Miss Grand International 2017 held
in Vietnam and 1st runner-up in Miss Globe 2017 in Albania, respectively.
Chanel, a
26-year-old Filipino-Australian model, grew up in Cairns, Australia and traces
her roots in San Antonio, Nueva Ecija, her mother’s home province. With a
Certificate III in Business Administration and Certificate III and IV in
Fitness, the motivational speaker could become the country’s second Miss Supranational
winner after Mutya Datul in 2013.
The
24-year-old, 5-foot-6, Rodriguez, from Antipolo, Rizal, is a graduate of
Business Management and Philosophy from De La Salle University. The Asia's Next
Top Model season 2 runner-up aims to become the first Filipina Miss
Intercontinental. Words by Eton Concepcion/ Photos by Binibining Pilipinas Official Fb
