Hiyas ng Pilipinas Media Launch

Let us all welcome Hiyas ng Pilipinas  into the Philippine pageant world!

#HiyasNgPilipinas is the first Cebu-based national pageant. It wants to empower young Filipina women through Leadership and Community Service. As leaders and role models within their communities, the participants work to effect positive change through volunteering, fund raising and advocacy. During their reign, the winners will be given the tools to personally and professionally enrich others by dedicating themselves to raising awareness and much needed funds for philanthropic endeavors.

During the media launch held at the Golden Peak Hotel & Suites in Cebu City earlier, the members of the Board of Directors were introduced. Led by National Director Eva Patalinjug, she is in good company with Chairman Ronald Elpa, Vice President Jesselle Saniel, Operations Director Roy Erwin Tizon, PR Director Maria Alma Maria, Director of Communications Auguste Izhar Pepito, Finance Director Sugar Borja Sagarino, Director of Legal Affairs Christian Tolo Bacus and Director of Charity Karla Tandoy.

Initially, the group acquired three (3) international pageant franchises where the winners will compete in:

MISS ELITE WORLD

Is an annual international beauty pageant based in Egypt. The 2021 competition will be held at the Fairmont Nile City & the boot camp at Somabay, a luxurious modern town.

MISS TOURISM QUEEN INTERNATIONAL

A homegrown title initiated by Tan Sri Datuk Danny Ooi, and to date the Title is franchised to more than 90 countries. This prestigious World had been the participation of more than 1000 Miss Tourism Delegates from around the world since 1993.

MISS TOURISM WORLD

Founded in Great Britain, the core emphasis of the Miss Tourism beauty pageant has always been to promote the host country of each year’s final. We work very closely with the government and tourist boards of our partner countries with the common goal of highlighting the region’s tourism profile and therefore benefiting the country.

Thirty (30) Official Candidates will be announced later this year and they will compete for the crowns by the first quarter of 2022. The top winners will receive a cash prize of P500,000.00 and other gift packages.

About the Organization:

Hiyas ng Turismo Pilipinas Foundation, Inc. is a beauty pageant organization to be located in Unit 5 Lightsite Parc, AS Fortuna, Banilad, Mandaue City, Cebu 6014. We are a organization driven by excellence and backed by the experience of a competent team of experts. This is led by Ms. Eva Psychee Patalinjug, a former beauty queen. Having over nearly a decade working experience in the beauty pageant industry, her expertise will enable Hiyas ng Turismo Pilipinas Foundation, Inc. compete favorably in an industry driven by intense competition.

Hiyas is a Tagalog term for “JEWEL” a precious object like a pearl.

She is the Queen coming out from a giant clam and bearing the crown and the pearl itself.

The CLAM RAYS behind the queen represents the eight first provinces of the Philippines that fought against the conqueror for our freedom.

GOLD represents energy in which that Philippines is very known for because of our warm climate and hospitality. It also represents confidence, success and elegance. It symbolizes one where people from all different cultures will be unified. This makes us think of how gold never tarnishes or rusts, and how that should also be a quality of unity. True unity should withstand the test of exposure and time.
