2012 Miss Lions Club Int'l Philippines crowned May 24

MANILA, Philippines - The Lions Club International, in cooperation with Miss World Philippines, Miss Earth Philippines and Mutya ng Pilipinas, Inc., will hold the coronation night of the Miss Lions Club International Philippines 2012 on May 24 at the Centennial Hall of the Manila Hotel.

Nineteen lovely, talented and upstanding contestants, who come from different Lions districts across the country, will vie for the title, cash, other prizes and the chance to represent the organization.

The Miss Lions Club International Philippines was conceived by the Lions of Multiple District 301 Philippines, through the incumbent Council of Governors, under the chairmanship of first lady Marlan Manguba, multi-awarded Lions leader and wife of District Governor Alexander Manguba of District 301-A2, among many others. This is to promote and develop the youth, nurture their talents, and to leave a mark in the history of the Philippine Lions not only through community services but also through this fun activity that involves people from all walks of life working together to achieve a common goal. The activity will generate awareness of the Multiple District tree planting project dubbed as the Lions Sanctuary in Taal Volcano Island, San Nicolas, Batangas, an on-going reforestation project.

A pre-pageant program was held last April 21 at the Aqua Lounge Poolside and Café Passion of the Sulo Riviera Hotel at Matalino St., Diliman, Quezon City, where Lions MD 301 council chairman Robert Roque said that the winner will be the “ambassadress of goodwill to spread social awareness to what the Lions is all about and what we Lions do for the world.” More than a battle of beauty, the Miss Lions Club International Philippines is a way to express community service particularly caring for the environment, he added.

Contestants include Amanda Arbitrario, Pristine Joy Cunanan, Merocel Loreta, Ge Ann Pilapil, Zoj Daphne Usita, Kumi Miyamae, Darlene Hipolito, Jaymarose Marasigan, Maretony Baldoza, Mikki Sachiko Flores, Gabrielle Tilokani, Mae Angeline Cajucom, Jessica Arqueza, Jennyline Malpaya, Ethel Jane Catchuela, Paula Camille Marciano, Ria delos Santos, Rufaida Babudin and Larah Grace Lacap.
