Aspiring actress-entrepreneur wins pageant title in Malaysia
MICHELLE Vitug Encarnacion brought home the country’s first Elite Mrs. International crown after bagging the title during finals held recently at Thistle Hotel in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
A successful businesswoman and aspiring actress, Encarnacion also won Best in Interview, Social Media, and International Costume (designed by Axel Que) special awards. Other winners named were Mrs. Mexico-Mrs. International 2023; Mrs. Singapore-Mrs. Asia Pacific 2023; Mrs. Thailand-International ASEAN 2023 and Mrs. Malaysia-Mrs. South East Asia 2023.
“It’s still a long way to go as I continue my reign as Elite Mrs. International and I would love to be with you all in this,” Encarnacion said in a message as she thanked Mrs. Philippines International, headed by national director Maan Aris and CEO Aries Concepcion, KF’s Gilbert Flores, who trained her for the contest and all her supporters. Morena beauty named Miss Supermodel Philippines Brown is beautiful after Shyrla Nuñez bested 14 other candidates to bag the first Miss Supermodel Philippines 2023 title, during recent finals held at Manila Hotel.
A graduate of Doctor of Dental Medicine, the 25-year-old native of Caloocan also won Best in Filipiniana. Her runners-up were Aileen Joyce Santiago (first), Querubin Gonzalez (second), Imogene Belles (third), and Floriane Lajara (fourth).
“Our first venture was never easy, but with God’s grace and hardworking production staff, we made it happen. I think that Shyrla is the best candidate who can win the Miss Supermodel Worldwide back-to-back after Alexandta Rosales, reigning Miss Supermodel Worldwide 2022,” said May Evelyn Maghirang, national director of Miss Supermodel Philippines.
