ALETHEA Ambrosio was all business and fun as she embarked on her quest to score the Philippines’ second Miss Supranational victory in Poland where the 15th edition of the international pageant will be held on July 6 (July 7 in Manila).
Wearing a three-piece ensemble consisting of matching turquoise tweed long-sleeved cropped suit top and wide-legged pants, and a shimmery chartreuse bra top that bared her midriff, the Bulakenya model headed to Europe where she hopes to exceed Pauline Amelinckx’s first runner-up finish in the Miss Supranational competition last year.
Ambrosio earned her ticket to the Miss Supranational pageant after her appointment was made official in February, during a press conference announcing the respective global assignments of the finalists of The Miss Philippines Culture and Heritage Celebration.
She won the crown at the inaugural staging of the sister search of the Miss Universe Philippines pageant held in October last year, but her international pageant assignment as well as the other finalists’ were not disclosed that time.
Aside from the 2024 Miss Supranational pageant, The Miss Philippines search last year also chose the country’s representatives to this year’s editions of the Miss Eco International, Miss Asia Pacific International, Miss Aura International, and Miss Eco Teen International pageants.
But just three months after receiving the Miss Supranational Philippines title, Ambrosio had already relinquished it to her successor, Miss Universe Philippines third runner-up Tarah Valencia, after last month’s national competition. The new queen will compete in next year’s edition of the international pageant. (Armin P. Adina © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
