Joycelyn Agsaway, a 28-year-old mother and manager of Edsa Shangri-La’s Horizon Club was recently crowned as the winner of their first-ever Mrs. Philippines-Globe. Tallest among the group, Agsaway literally stood out and bested 14 other finalists who gave their all for the coveted crown.
A wife, a mother of one, and daughter, Agsaway proved that she best embodies that rare combination of beauty and substance. Aside from being a family-oriented woman, she also makes time for helping others as a volunteer teacher at University of the Philippines’ Ugnayan ng Pahinungod.
During the coronation night held at Harbour Garden Tent, Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila, Agsaway together with the other candidates proved to themselves, as well as to all the guests, that being married is not a limitation but more of an advantage on their part.
The contenders showed off their sexy figures in swimsuits designed by Ricky Abad. They also looked stunning and elegant in their evening gowns created by top designers Ronald Enrico, Pablo Cabahug, Jonti Martinez, Barge Ramos and Edwin Uy, who also crafted the crowns for the winners.
Making the pageant even more glamorous was the elite panel of judges which was composed of beauty queens and key people in the modeling industry. The judges were National Pageant Director Morena Carla Cabrera-Quimpo, Tweetie De Leon-Gonzales, Patty Betita, Mrs. Malaysia-Globe 2011 Melinda Yap, Mrs. Singapore-Globe 2011 Melinda Chong, Olen Lim and Mrs. Philippines-World 2008 Eimee Cragun. Imus Vice Mayor Many Ilano and Phillip Underwood were also among those who helped decide the pageant winners.
At the end of the night, Agsaway was hailed as this year’s Mrs. Philippines-Globe and brought home up to P700,000 worth of prizes. She will also be the Philippines’ official representative to the Mrs. Globe World Finals on August 11-19 in Rancho Mirage, California, USA.
