ANOTHER Filipina won in an international beauty pageant, less than a month after Catriona Gray was crowned Miss Universe 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Maria Francesca Taruc, from Angeles City, Pampanga, was crowned Miss Tourism World 2019 Intercontinental at Nanjing, China on Tuesday night.
Taruc is the first international beauty pageant titleholder for 2019.
Tatarstan (Russia) and Ukraine were first and second runners up respectively.
Taruc wore a red “three stars and a sun” dress designed by Benj Leguiab 4th.
According to her Facebook profile, Taruc was a youth ambassadress to Mutya ng Angeles and a titleholder to “Ms. Freedom of the World-Philippines”. She also serves as a brand ambassador.
“My felicitations to our very own, Francesca Taruc of Angeles City who has been crowned as the new Ms. Tourism World Intercontinental! Fran, you’re deserving as I’ve told you,” Angeles City Mayor Ed Pamintuan was quoted as saying.
Gray became the fourth Filipina to wear the Miss Universe crown, after Pia Wurtzbach in 2015, Margie Moran in 1973, and Gloria Diaz in 1969. ARIC JOHN SY CUA
