DUBAI: People, especially Filipinos, will recognize household names such as Megan Young, Janine Tugonon, and Shamcey Supsup as they are just few of the Philippines’ beauty queens. All three, and more beauty queens than you can ever imagine, all went under the tutelage of “Queenmaker” Jonas Gaffud.
Gaffud is part of a group called “Aces and Queens” – which trains young Filipinas in the fields of posture, make-up, Q&A, fitness and the entire package to mold them into becoming beauty queens.
In an exclusive interview with The Filipino Times, Gaffud shared a few names which he believes might take the crown. “Well, yung mga girls ng Aces and Queens, syempre yun ang mga bets ko for the Binibining Pilipinas pageant which will culminate on March 18.”
Here are the names that popped up during the interview (in no particular order):
Maria Andrea Verdadero Abesamis
Michele Theresa Gumabao
Jehza Mae Huelar
Sandra Lemonon
Kayesha Chua
Wynonah Van Joy Buot
and
Catriona Gray
, who Gaffud said is now independent but has been part of Aces and Queens.
Binibining Pilipinas 2018 will culminate with a Coronation Night happening on March 18, Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines
