Miss World Philippines candidates experience holistic devt from RWM

By Joee Guilas - October 18, 2018

A beautiful face, a well-proportioned figure and a sharp mind are what usually make an ordinary girl fulfill her beauty queen dreams.

For the many aspirants to achieve all these three is simple: some medical and makeup enhancements for facial beauty; diet and exercise for the figure; and memorize some quotes for their wit. However, what most of them fail to realize is that all of these traits can actually be attained with just two things: a healthy body and a positive self-image.

The Resorts World Manila (RWM), in cooperation with the Philippine Chapter of the Association of Image Consultants International, the leading and largest professional association of personal and corporate image consultant worldwide, recently treated the 40 candidates of the Miss World Philippines search to a free tutorial on personality development.

The afternoon long session was held at the Maxims Hotel’s Impressions Restaurant, right in the heart of RWM.

The highly educational program was divided into three parts: the first segment, which focused on relaxation techniques during the all-important question and answer portion as well as basic dining and social etiquette; the second, highlighted the importance of appropriate makeup and dressing; while the third and final segment of the training zeroed in on what lies ahead for the ladies after the pageant is over.

AICI President Miselle Bergonia taught the girls how to immerse themselves into a state of relaxation right before they step out on stage to give their minds the clarity it needs when answering tough questions. She also showed them basic dining manners, from the way they should take a seat to the way they must hold and press their lips with the dining napkin, among other things.

Tati Fortuna, an acclaimed figure in the image branding industry and managing partner of Escario and Fortuna, underscored the importance of having a clear and healthy skin during the entire duration of the competition. The ladies were glued to their seats and took down some very important notes as Fortuna gave them tips in keeping a healthy glow all the time.

For her part, former Binibining Pilipinas Universe Abbygale Arenas-de Leon spoke from experience and emphasized the ladies’ potentials in other fields “just in case, the pageant doesn’t work for them.” The statuesque beauty queen is now the owner and managing director of Personi-Fi Image Studio Inc.

The candidates truly enjoyed their training and brought home with them lessons that they obviously applied during the recent coronation night of the Miss World Philippines. A crown-winner or not, they obviously expanded their knowledge and are now more conscious of the need for a holistic development of their well-being that should serve them good in their future forays—be it in pageantry or in the real world.
