 The
Fiesta Filipina Dance Troupe once again presents the
candidates for Miss Manila 2010, who will act as our
ambassador to all the activities of the Filipino
community this summer.
Two years ago, when we joined forces with Filipinos.ca to
further enhance our pageant, we received a very good
response. This we think has inspired and helped in
increasing the self-esteem of our candidates. As a
pageant organizer, we also feel that we succeeded in
making the pageant experience more fun and
unforgettable.
This year we have 11 candidates. They have been together
for four weeks preparing for their big night on May 29,
2010 at the Korean Cultural Centre. We invite everyone
to vote and be part of the experience. The winner of
this online voting will carry the title “Miss People’s
Choice” and will receive a trophy from Filipinos.ca.
WE also invite you to see them on May 29,2010 at 7:30,
the big night promises a very enjoyable evening as our
candidates compete for the main title, Miss Manila 2010.
Thank you,
Tess Cusipag

Miss Manila
By Dan Miguel
Every year to kick-off the start of a festive summer, 10
to 20 young ladies vie tfor the prestigious title of
Miss Manila. They come from all over Ontario. They could
still be in high school or already in the university,
all wanting to represent the Filipino community and show
its values and culture. At start of the competition,
some lack the confidence, but as they progress in the
month and a half of preparation and training, walking,
dressing-up, speaking in public, handling interviews,
they all grow to become a rightful Filipina ambassador.
Yet only one lucky beautiful young lady can win the
title of Miss Manila. After she is crowned, she starts a
year long career of showcasing the Filipina in all
community functions. She becomes a role model to younger
girls, as she travels and embraces more the Filipino
uniqueness.
The Miss Manila started as "Filipina Princess" hosting
thousands of guests to Manila Pavilion at then 9-day
Metro Toronto International Caravan. Now at the annual
Brampton Caravan (Carabram), she is the most admired
host embodying the modern Filipina as she gives on stage
an overview of the Philippines and its culture, while
flaunting the famous Maria Clara Terno.
Having gained the experience, several former Miss Manila
and runner-ups have gone farther to join major beauty
pageants in the Philippines. We should be proud of these
ladies. |
