INVITING
ALL FILIPINOS TO FOLLOW MY JOURNEY IN MISS WORLD
Mabuhay!
Ni Hao!
Hello Philippines, Hello World!!!
I, Hillarie Danielle Ang Parungao, a 24 year old Nursing graduate and a
professional model from Solano, Nueva Vizcaya was chosen as Miss World
Philippines 2015 and won the right to represent the Philippines in the 65th
edition of the Miss World pageant LIVE in December 19th from the
Beauty Crown Grand Theatre, Sanya, People’s Republic of China.
In
2015, I founded “Katuwang (Partner in
English)” a program aimed at alleviating childhood mortality. Through this
initiative, I aim to create awareness on the issues and challenges affecting
families from getting access to quality and affordable healthcare in my
province and hopefully in the entire country. Using my platform as a
titleholder, I plan to lobby members of local government units to jumpstart a
campaign that would save countless numbers of young lives and enable them to
live a full healthy life.
And
as I embark on this journey, I would like to encourage the Filipino media and
all of my countrymen to have another look on what Miss World is truly all about
so we can rally all the troops and get everyone to support Miss World and
Beauty with a Purpose.
About miss world
This
year, Miss World turns 65 as it remains the world’s premiere beauty pageant in
search of the brightest and the most beautiful. Founded by Eric Morley in 1951,
when it commenced as a bikini competition in London, to the extravaganza it is
today in the hands of Julia Morley, Miss World has grown in
size and stature to what it is today- the biggest, most prestigious pageant in
the world.
About beauty with a purpose
Beyond
the glitz and glamour, the Miss World Organization has prided itself for its
‘Beauty With A Purpose’ program, which has raised close to half a billion
dollars for charity, placing it on the forefront of social responsibility.
Every year, the Miss World winner travels thousands of miles to locations like
Haiti, where a clean water initiative has been mobilized. In Ethiopia, for
instance, the pageant pioneered the move to alleviate maternal mortality. In
the Philippines, Megan Young, first Filipina winner, have helped fund millions
of Typhoon Haiyan victims. Please visit: www.missworld.com.
About miss world winners
Over
the past 64 years, former Miss World titleholders’ and contestants’ careers
have spanned from show business, media, to entrepreneurship, among others. One
of the biggest names it has
produced was Academy Award winner Halle Berry who represented the United
States in 1986. Others who followed similar paths include Lynda Carter (United
States, 1972) best remembered for her role as ‘Wonder Woman’, Claudine Auger
(France, 1958), Aishwarya Rai (India, 1994), Priyanka Chopra (India, 2000),
Maggie Cheung (Hong Kong, 1983), and Michelle Yeoh (Malaysia, 1983).

CQ
Global Quest Incorporated, the official license holder of Miss World in the
Philippines was established in 2011. Led by its chairwoman Cory Quirino, the
organization now on its fifth year has maintained strong relationships with the
Tuloy Foundation and the Philippine General Hospital. Through this partnership,
it aims to provide awareness of the plight of street children in the country
and help provide affordable healthcare especially to the less fortunate. In
2015, the organization led by Cory Quirino together with Rolene Strauss, Miss
World 2014 and Mrs. Julia Morley inaugurated the
new pediatric ward named "Miss World Beauty with a Purpose" for terminally
ill cancer patients at the said hospital aimed at
providing more people access to quality and affordable treatment.
About the host city
This
year’s Miss World is hosted by the island resort of Sanya in the People’s
Republic of China. Often regarded as the Hawaii of China, Sanya is a picture of
pristine natural beauty. From miles and miles of uninterrupted shoreline of
Yalong Bay to the exclusive enclaves of Haitang and Dadonghai, Sanya is
definitely the place to relax and unwind.
About the venue & hotel
In
front of an audience of over a billion, Miss World will take place at the
3,500-seat Beauty Crown Grand Theatre, which has previously hosted five (5)
past editions of the pageant. Over 120 delegates from all continents are
expected to take part in this year’s contest. The Beauty Crown Sanya, China
will be the official residence of the contestants.
