Congratulations to Miss Eco-Tourism 2013, Bernadette Aguirre...
Ms PH Earth Santa Maria: Bernadette Mae Aguirre BY RAPPLER.COM POSTED ON 04/28/2013 4:58 PM | UPDATED 05/04/2013 7:40 PM
MANILA, Philippines - In line with the Miss Philippines Earth 2013 pageant's water conservation theme, this 20-year-old registered nurse says, "Filipinos should learn to use water wisely. One should be aware that there are still parts of our country where clean water is scarce or non -existent. I believe that if using water wisely is done collectively, it would help greatly in water cooperation."
Describe your childhood/growing-up years (8-13 years old):
I had a very challenging childhood. When I was 8 years old, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus. This meant that I was insulin dependent forever; I have to inject myself with insulin twice a day every day. I didn’t consider it a burden that will pull me down; rather, I took it as a special gift and challenge.
Most memorable moment:
I consider winning my first crown to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
What is your environmental advocacy and why did you choose this ?
As Miss Philippines Earth, it would be my advocacy to encourage our lawmakers to create and implement ordinances to prohibit the use of plastic bags in business establishments. I will also educate the public about the importance of minimizing the use of plastic bags and its great effect on our environment.

Beauty queen attributes win to UST
By JUAN CARLOS D. MORENO
BEING a beauty queen was just a childhood dream. Years later, Thomasian Joanna Cindy Miranda is now a pageant winner, having been picked Bb. Pilipinas-Tourism at the Big Dome last April 14.
“I knew I could do it, that’s why I joined. I would not have given up my hosting career if I thought I was not yet ready. I told myself, 'This is it,'" said Miranda, a former host of Wil Time, Big Time at TV5.
The 23-year-old Miranda, who was among the four winners in the annual pageant, was no stranger to beauty pageants. A 5'9" stunner, she was the first runner-up in the Miss Thomasian Ideal Personality in 2010. It was the same competition that produced Miss Universe runner-up Janine Tugonon, who bagged the UST title last year.
While her hosting job clearly helped in terms of on-cam projection, her UST pageant experience was just as valuable, given its focus on personality, not just beauty. She has the brains as well, having earned her Tourism degree cum laude in 2011.
“[The] Thomasians’ key to every success is their personality. We are very Christ-centered and we are compassionate, committed and competent,” she said. “We won’t win in such pageants based on beauty alone."
More than a ‘queen’
Since she was young, Cindy said she had always aspired to become a beauty queen.
“Holding a title was my childhood dream. The path I was going through while growing up was led on becoming a beauty queen. Even when I was still studying, I was already being prim and proper,” she said.
“I maintained a fit and a healthy body, and I learned how to put on make-up. No one forced me, it was my own choice and will,” she added.
The Nueva Ecija-born lass said she drew inspiration from former beauty queens such as Gloria Diaz and Tugonon.
“Whenever I watched TV and saw some past crown winners, I was really awed. When I learned that Janine won 1st runner-up in Ms. Universe, I told myself I could do it,” said the former housemate of ABS-CBN’s reality show Pinoy Big Brother (PBB).
Cindy finally had her big break on national television when she became part of the ninth series of PBB in 2011.
“After graduating, I was hired by Emirates [Airlines] and they were waiting for me to train for Dubai. But my friend asked me to audition [for PBB] that time. Luckily, I became one of the three guest housemates,” she said.
While inside the Big Brother house, Cindy entered the slum-themed half of the pack where she gained a lot of life lessons.
“I experienced how it was to live in the slums. You really need to show there who you are. Hindi iyon scripted. Everything that happened there was true. For me, it was really a test of personality and you just need to be yourself,” she said.
After spending a year in Saint Louis University-Baguio, Cindy transferred to UST where she sought to develop a “disciplined personality.”
“When I was in college, I really focused on what I wanted to become. I put too much discipline in everything I do. I did my responsibilities in school and see to it that every work is done,” she said. “After class, I always go home immediately. I don’t stay late in school and I rarely go to clubs with my friends.”
‘I am prepared’
Cindy was not fazed in facing other Filipino beauties in the pageant because she “was prepared” to follow her dreams to become a crowned queen.
“There were a lot of celebrities in our batch who are equally beautiful. But what you really need to have [in this competition] is confidence,” said Cindy, who holds 33-22-35 body curves.
If she were to be asked again what personal quality people would remember about her, Cindy said she would “answer exactly” the same question with more confidence than what she did in the pageant.
“I got nervous and I blocked out. I stopped in the middle of my answer and at that moment I thought I would not be able to continue it. But thank God I was able to finish my answer,” she said.
The confidence she had during the beauty contest was her key, together with her wit and charm, to be one of the top winners of the country’s most prestigious beauty pageant.
“You could tell that the judges like you when you face them. You could feel that the people like you, too. There are a lot of beautiful contestants, but your personality is what makes you shine above the others,” she said.
Cindy feels pressured in being one of the young Filipinas to continue the winning streak of the Philippines in the world stadium.
“Even though I didn’t win Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, the pressure is still very high. Pinays are known in the pageant industry and the people’s expectations on the Philippines are really high,” she said.
She added that she prayed to God to allow her to win the Miss Universe crown next time after her name was called Miss Tourism.
“Maybe He has a reason of not giving me what I wanted. And probably He knows I could not handle the pressure of holding the Bb. Pilipinas-Universe title,” said Cindy, who will compete in the Miss Tourism Queen International pageant.
Through it all, Cindy, who only once dreamt of becoming a beauty queen had finally reached the star that marks the “beginning” of a blooming career.
“Take hold of your dreams. Don’t stop making your dreams a reality. ‘Wag mo lang pangarapin ang isang bagay, isabuhay mo ito,” she said.

Beauty queens of the Faculty of Engineering
By Catalina Ricci S. Madarang and Josiah Darren G. Saynes
FEMALE Thomasians from the Faculty of Engineering proved there’s more to them than dealing with numbers.
Jodilly Pendre, a 20-year-old Information Systems graduate of UST, bagged first runner-up honors in the recently concluded Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 2.
Though Pendre did not take home the crown, she inspired three other Thomasian beauties, Patricia De Jesus, Arriane Marasigan and Christine Rodriguez, to try their luck in the modeling industry.
“Female engineering students usually have this strong personality. Maybe it's because of the male-dominated atmosphere that we become strong and learn to cope with somehow twice the effort as the usual female student would do,” Rodriguez said.
Veteran queen
Of the four aspiring models, De Jesus, Information Systems alumna, has been joining pageants, including small-time contests in grade school, in the last nine years.
“Seeing their [audience] faces and hearing them shout my name or my faculty is priceless,” she said.
It was her mom who first encouraged De Jesus to join pageants, with her relatives urging her to go pro or take it to the next level, like joining the Binibining Pilipinas pageant.
“It's my mom's dream that I become a beauty queen. That’s why I know I truly make her happy whenever I go up the stage even though it’s not really what I want,” said De Jesus, who previously represented Engineering in the university-wide The Search for the Ideal Thomasian Personalities (TSITP), now called Thomasian Youth Ambassador and Ambassadress (TYAA).
Femme fatale
While De Jesus is experienced in the field, modeling and joining pageants were unheard of for Rodriguez in college.
The Electronics Engineering alumna was still juggling being a student and council president when her modelling career began in 2011. Rodriguez was referred by a friend of a local business owner to be a print model.
Since then, she has been joining pageants such as the Student Organizations Coordinating Council’s university-wide pageant Pintig, pageants within Engineering, and a local pageant off campus.
“I’m actually not that into it. It was more of just gaining the experience for me than really pursuing this career,” Rodriguez said.
Marasigan’s modeling career dates back to December 2012 when her handler, who she met when she started joining university-wide pageants, offered her stints for SM Malls.
The Chemical Engineering student said if it were up to her, she would end her part-time career and focus on her studies.
“When I began modelling, I think my experience in pageants taught me that I should always remember that people in the audience don’t really know me. So whenever I go up the stage, I am doing it for the company that I represent,” said the incoming fifth year student, who’s also a talent of Ayala Malls and other small fashion shows.
Unfamiliar territory
Both Marasigan and De Jesus had to toughen up to fit in the male-dominated world of Engineering. But the challenges are different in modeling.
“It was really a culture shock for me because I get to deal with a lot of girls with different personalities in modeling. But in time, I was able to get along with them,” said Marasigan, an aspiring engineer-lawyer.
“It’s hard because it’s as if you’re carrying the brand name of the company you are working for. It’s like you also carry the weight of their sales.”
An incoming fifth year student, Marasigan admitted that Engineering was not her first choice. She wanted to pursue a medicine-related course, but did not qualify.
“I realized that Engineering is something different and you get to apply what you learn in real life,” said the former student-model, who took a break from her modeling career to focus on her fifth and final year.
Rodriguez and De Jesus are thankful for the opportunities that are coming their way, but are more keen on preparing for the upcoming board exams.
“I strongly believe that UST female Engineering students are more than competent to compete in beauty contests and pageants,” De Jesus said.
