Miss Resorts World 2010 Coronation Night

Miss Resorts World: A dynasty in the making?

Last night, the first ever Miss Resorts World Manila coronation took place at Newport Performing Arts Theater. Twenty-nine gorgeous women vied for the title and the opportunity to be the spokesperson of Resorts World Manila, the first integrated tourism destination.

The swimsuit competition is one of the most
anticipated segment of the evening's event

We got sweet VIP tickets that got us right in front of the stage for an up-close look at the lovely candidates. Ex-beaus, Borgy Manotoc & Sarah Meier hosted the momentous event. The candidates dazzled the audiences with their elegant evening dresses, sexy two-piece swimwear, and stunning evening gowns designed by prominent fashion designers, Jun Escario, Patrice Ramos-Diaz and Randy Ortiz. Several performances from the casts of KAOS and Magic Polo made the event varied and more entertaining. The Q&A portion commenced with the top twelve candidates who made the initial cut. The candidates faced another elimination round which saw the top five candidates. All of the five lovely candidates were asked the same question, “What is your best asset that makes you an effective spokesperson for Resorts World Manila and Philippine tourism?”
