Grendel Alvarado, 27, said that she will actively promote Philippine fashion abroad, apart from the popular destinations here. “I want to bring the Philippine fashion to the world. It’s so interesting and I want to share it to them.”

Asked if she is pressured, Alvarado said: “No, I don’t feel pressured at all. If I let the pressure get in the way, I will gain nothing but fear and other emotional drawbacks. For me, it’s just an idea to keep me from hitting the mark. It’s really a big honor for me to be chosen as the country’s official candidate because I have never joined any international beauty pageant.”
No beauty contest was staged to choose this year’s representative to the pageant. Instead, she was appointed by project coordinator Egay Cubelo to represent the country in the international beauty contest. “I went to the final screening and was interviewed by a panel of MAWP local organizers. After several weeks, I was told by my agent that I got the part.”
More than 80 candidates will take part in the pageant that focuses on beauty and talent. “Aside from searching for the most beautiful woman in the world, we give huge emphasis on girl’s innate talents in dancing and singing. The major titleholder, along with the Top Seven finalists, will be given an international career not only in modeling but in showbiz as well.”
Alvarado, who won “Philippines Next Top Model” in 2007, said that she will dance during the competition which will also be held in China and Japan. A certified vegan, the model uses only natural and organic products on the body as her beauty regimen. She sees to it that she removes her make-up before going to sleep and drink at least eight glasses of water a day. “I only put make up when needed to. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables.”
