Turismo
Filipina 2018, the newest addition to the ever growing beauty pageants, was launched
recently with the presentation of the 25 official candidates representing the
various regions in the country, held at West Avenue Suites, Quezon City.
Turismo
Filipina 2018, a tourism-oriented national pageant, organized by Rex Rubio, aims
to help promote the different local festivals held annually throughout the
country. The winner of Turismo Filipina 2018 will earn the right to represent
the Philippines at the first edition of the Turismo Filipina International
2018, with candidates from various Filipino communities abroad coming over in
Manila to compete in December 2018.
Turismo
Filipina 2018 will have her court of honor which will include Turismo Filipina
Luzon, Turismo Filipina Visayas and Turismo Filipina Mindanao. Turismo Filipina
Agri-Eco special award will also be at stake.
“Let us help
bring back a vibrant domestic tourism through this pageant,” said Rubio, also
the national pageant director, at the launching of the pageant. “We would give
equal opportunity to all levels of local festivals, not just the major tourist
festivals in the country. We want to help local government expose and promote to
the international community other festivals as potential tourism attraction, to
boost their products as well,” Rubio said.
Aiming to
establish a name in the roster of national beauty pageants, Turismo Filipina
2018 hopes to play an important role in the country’s domestic campaign for
rural tourism, tourism sports, environmental conservation, sustainable eco-tourism,
religion tourism as well as women empowerment. The grant coronation of Turismo
Filipinas 2018 will be held on June 9, 2018. (Words and Photos by Eton
