Danica Magpantay - first FILIPINA Super Model of the Year!
Woke up today with my head in a cloud; had a Sunday assignment for RPN Newswatch and was not looking forward to spending my family day in a Chinese temple doing a report on the coming Chinese New Year. But when I got a text from fellow beauty queen Duday Mandanas that our very own Danica Magpantay HAD JUST WON THE SUPERMODEL OF THE WORLD 2011 title, I flipped like the craziest pancake on earth and started squealing for joy!
I quickly confirmed Duday’s report by calling up Allan of Calcarrie’s Models who picked up my call NOT by saying hello, but by saying CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations indeed, to DANICA MAGPANTAY, to her Mom Lala Flores Magpantay (who was Super Model of the Philippines in 1990) and to all Filipino beauty fans. We’ve got ANOTHER international winner we can be proud of!!!

Wow it seems that the Philippine- franchise holder of this contest know exactly what to give Ford!!! Charo then Chat and now Danica-the big winner (not to mention almost always a spot in the finals)
I hope Bb would learn how to respond to their franchises like this
Big hug and congratulations to DAnica- I have always supported this girl when she won! Well, it helps that the organizer of the local contest have a high credibility in their choices
Hay, so happy too! At least we have our FIRST Super Model Grand Prize winner na! All we need to get now is Ms WORLD!!!!!
Agree Ms Joyce- we need Ms World and we need it badly
I remember Peachy Veneracion saying she put a curse in all the Filipina joining Ms World so that they will never win hehehehe becoz of her whole experience which we are all familiar with 
I guess, you can interview her? and maybe request to officially undo that curse hehehehe
yes- finally we have a Super Model and the pedigree of those who came before her is SUPERRRR Impressive!!! there are actual global super models that came from that competition
AH, we must UNDO that curse! I will try to track Peachy down when Miss Earth starts up again this year! That is a great idea jay… I just hope I find time to interview her and write about it

Wow…Congratulations Danica Magpantay! Indeed, the Philippines is the land of Supermodels in the like of Charo Ronquillo, Charlene Almarvez and now, Danica Magpantay! Yipee… To GOD be the glory!
YES! Glory to God for blessing our nation with so many beauties!
No surprise to me that a beauty from the Philippines won this. I married a gorgeous Filipina 11 years ago, and we moved to the Philippines from America last year. Now I’m surrounded by beautiful Pinays everywhere!
Dave! I’m half American and you can see it on the outside. But my heart is almost totally Pinay. I was made, born and bred in the Philippines!!!! You are blessed to be living here
thanks for dropping me a note, hello to your gorgeous Filipina!
Danica brings pride to all Filipinos here and abroad. Congratulations to her and to all Filipinas!
Miss Joyce, I put a link to this post on my blog, I hope it’s alright… Thanks…
Arnel, you have to talk to my lawyers first… JUST KIDDING! I’m in such a good mood with Danica’s victory!!! Thanks for the link, bless you!
Oh, you scared me there… Thanks a lot, God bless you too!
Hi Joyce! I just read about Danica and while researching, I came to your blogsite. May I first say that I like the way you write and has gotten me interested in many of your articles. Sign of a good writer is when you can hold your readers’ attention. Kudos on that!
I am not really a beauty queen-watcher, but was updated due to my mom being an avid follower of beauty pageants. Hence I remember seeing you win your titles. My bestfriend in college also went to your HS, maybe younger by a couple of years or three.
Like Arnel, I am sharing the link to this post of yours to proudly show the Filipina beauty and her successes, this time via Danica. I may even add some of your other posts that would mention Charo and Chat (honestly, I only knew about their achievements today as I am out-of-the-country). Thanks to you, I will stay a follower and will definitely be updated about your “side of the world.”
Alvs, tell your Mom I said Hello! And thanks much for your comment
and for sharing my post. You must miss the Philippines a lot but thank God for the internet and social networks we can somehow stay in touch
