Time is long over due to have this Topic covered here on the Forum, after all Philippines is considered to be one of most popular Countries that adorns Pageantry as a regular happening. Most recent was the Miss Silliman Beauty Pageant August 25th 2024. Here is a playlist on this event. This thread is created to highlight and show pageantry in a positive light and is not to digress into controversial. Enjoy. Link is to Playlist "Miss Silliman 2024" Thank you to "Angel Saga" Head of the Pageant Committee for subject Matter permissions!
I would group the pageants in with the festivals as far as popularity within the Philippines. Asawa's youngest brother makes a living from the popularity. They keep gown makers and makeup artists in demand.
