is the perfect package with the beauty of a Margie Moran combined with the elegance of Miriam, the appeal of Ruffa Gutierrez and the mestiza profile of Charlene Gonzales. Pageant fans who have seen her compete say: " Tina moves like a Venezuelan and talks like an American with the eloquence of an Indian." Is this enough?
Christina is also a Broadcast Journalism major at the San Diego State Univer- sity and a pageant veteran who has competed in both local & international ti- tles. Add to that, sheer determination to win and the competitive spirit that transforms ordinary people from whiners to winners! To top it all, our gal has already submitted her credentials to the Binibining Pilipinas and quietly assures everyone that she is indeed a Filipino citizen. What awaits Christina? Who knows? She just might be IT !

IS SHE THE ONE TO BEAT?
day owning her own fashion magazine. Fashion has always been one of her passions and she is striving very hard to prove that modelling is not all about glamour alone, but also about giving people a vision and presenting an image that affects everyone in a positive way. Beauty queen material? Judge for yourselves!

1999 was a Halston, and it worked for her! Why not for Kathy? After the Hal- ston gowns appeared in the 'Send in the Evening
Gowns' Section of 'Miss
Philippines Beyond 2000,'
what better way to bring reality to the big screen than with a few tricks of the trade? Both of these gowns are exquisite and expensive. Not surprising, quality does not come cheap! Honestly, with Kathy's good looks, the gown is secondary, but worth spending for. Give her the best & she'll do
the rest!

aged to land in the semi-finals? Gloria, Margie, Gemma, Aurora, Melanie, Chat, Desiree, Miriam, and Evangeline are all Filipinas by birth with no american upbringing whatsoever and yet they were winners in their own right! Nothing against Filipinas born and raised abroad, but it's disheartening to know that those that were brought nothing but shame and embarassment to the name of Miss Philippines. Homegrown beauties make more sense to be the true representatives of Philippine culture! Preview magazine's recent cover of some of the country's most beautiful native women attest to the fact that these ladies exist and they are right in our own backyard! Binibining Pilipinas should go back to their roots!

were to compete today in the Binibining Pilipinas, she could easily win the Miss Philippines Universe title with her exotic looks and give even Miss Venezuela a run for her money.
Too bad the pageant world just ignored her!

rent face of Calvin Kelin's CK One perfume, Valerie, like Anna Bayle, has appeared in countless covers and shows in both sides of the Atlantic. Very Filipina in looks, the 5'8" model has the ethnic 'flavor' that makes her stand out from an industry partial to fair skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes! If she were to be-
come Miss Philippines, just think of where she might eventually end up.

tesy call to First Lady Imelda Marcos at the Malacanang Palace. With her are from left, Miss Colombia, Cecilia Escandon, 3rd Runner-Up; Miss Wales, Helen Morgan, 1st Runner-Up, Miss Aruba, Maureen Ava Viera, 4th Runner-Up, and Miss Finland, Johanna Raunio, 2nd Runner-Up. What makes this interesting is that Imelda herself was a for-
mer beauty queen. Before her whirlwind romance with Mr. Ferdinand Marcos, 'Meldy' was chosen Miss Manila.
Politics aside, Imelda Marcos is one of the true icons of Philippine beauty and fashion. Always elegant in the Terno and anything Philippine made, Imelda knew exactly what worked and what did not. LIFE magazine in the late 1960's once featured Imelda on it's cover with the description :
'The Philippines Fabulous First Lady.' What an appropriate way to summarize the beauty of Asia's 'Iron Butterfly.'

nang Palace to the present, it's still the same bouffant, well coiffed hairstyle that miracu-
lously remains in place no matter what. . . come hell, high water, revolution, election or what have! Let's face it, the hairstyle is u- nique and elegant at the same time, and pa-
geant fans are wondering whether Miss
World Philippines Kathy De Guzman should opt for the same packaging. Judge for your- selves. I think it just might work!
nic gown that Desiree wore would suit Kathy (above right). Personally, it is perfect! Imelda's hairstyle, Desiree's ethnic multi-colored evening gown plus Kathy's dark looks is one winning combination.

sent the country. Chiqui was smart, exotic and very Filipina in her looks!
Come pageant night, she makes it to the semi-final and final rounds. Causes a stir with her jaw drop-
ping evening gown with a cape that made her look as if she was flying. Almost wins the crown if not for her simple answer to the final question: "Who would you thank tonight if you win the crown?"
Chiqui's simple-I-did-not-think-about-it answer was: "I'll thank the judges." Beautiful Chiqui ends up as 4th Runner-Up to Finland's Anne Pohtamo.
