MANILA MAIL COMMUNITY

2011 Miss World-Canada Riza Santos will arrive this Sunday at SFO to model for BAY AREA FASHION WEEK.

Will she be our 3rd Miss Universe? By the time this paper comes out, a new Miss Universe would have been crowned. But that will not diminish Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup's latest accomplishments - graduating Magna Cum Laude from UP, topping the Architectural Board Examinations & topping the internet voting of Miss Universe 2011 88 candidates (an automatic semi-finals slot awaits her). Good luck, Miss Philippines Shacey Supsup!

Coco Martin, in the hottest news today for punching another actor, Matteo Guidicelli in the face during last week's Star Magic Ball, will be performing live at 'One Kapamilya Go' this Sunday at Universal Studios-Hollywood.

Vice Ganda asks for Leo Reyes' whereabouts at her Cache Creek Casino penthouse private suite after her mega-hit Sept 3rd comedy show.

The one man Vice Ganda wants & can't have is San Jose's Leo Reyes.

2011 Miss World-Canada

Riza Santos to arrive Sunday

(Half-Filipina Beauty Queen will model at the BayArea Fashion Week)

TO-BE-SEEN IN THE CITY

To give way to our corporate sponsors ads, this week’s column piece will be short. So, on with the community news! Half-Filipina Riza Santos, the reigning Miss World Canada arrives in San Francisco Airport this Sunday from Calgary. She is here for a week to rehearse, promote & participate in San Jose’s biggest fashion event ever – the BayArea Fashion Week happening on Saturday, September 24, 2011 at the San Jose State University’s Barrett Ballroom at 8PM. The Ballroom is located at One Washington Square, San Jose, CA 95192. She will headline several jaw-dropping segments in a fashion show, including a special one showcasing other beauty queens like her (including 2011 Miss Teen California Jordan Fowler, 2010 Miss Philippines Earth-USA Melissa Sokukawa of Union City, CA, 2006 Little Miss Philippines-USA Kerlyn Horn from San Jose, among others).

This Columnist had the good fortune of meeting Riza in person when she appeared as a guest at the Vancouver Pinoy Fiesta last month. We got into talking, exchanged emails and we invited her to join the San Jose BayArea Fashion Week.

While here in the US, Riza will undergo formal trainings and workshops in make –up under the mentorship of Hollywood-trained Christine Paul of San Jose (who will pick her up directly from the San Francisco Airport), Q&A, Outfit & Accessories, as well as ramp & runway impressions (under Roger Francisco, the overall Chairman & Director of BAFW). Riza will also be selecting her pageant competition wardrobe from the US from a long list of highly-interested mainstream fashion designers & supporters.

Riza will compete in the 61st Miss World pageant at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre on November 6, 2011 in London. Alexandria Mills of the United States is the reigning Miss World.

SEEN IN THE CITY

Vice Ganda left her heart in San Francisco

Vice Ganda just had a very successful comedy concert at Cache Creek Casino last Saturday night, September 3^rd, all punchlines delivered, tasks accomplished, except for one thing – she’s still looking for San Jose’s CA Licensed Physical Therapist & part-time model Leo Reyes.

The 2 had seen each other up-close when Leo joined Vice Ganda and her co-stars in a VIP photo op after the show.

It is when this Columnist went up to her Penthouse private suite at Cache Creek to post-interview her for her latest successful show and we showed her the latest issue of Manila Mail Newspaper that she again saw Leo, in an article photo that she looked for him again. When informed that Leo left for the night to meet his visiting brother, she didn’t hide her disappointment in front of everyone in the room, including this Columnist and rumored boyfriend Jon Avila right beside her. Furthermore, she asked us if she can keep the Manila Mail newspaper copy with Leo’s photo and take it with her.

When asked about it, Leo said he is flattered but said it ain’t gonna happen. “Kuya, can I be linked with a girl, instead?” he asked further.

Incidentally, Leo Reyes will be one of 60 models that will model about 700 collections from 50 mainstream Designers at the BayArea Fashion Week happening on Saturday, September 24, 2011 at the San Jose State University’s Barrett Ballroom at 8PM. Call (925) 389-1382 to reserve your $45 regular or $60 VIP (with sponsor gift basket) tickets.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“There was never a love triangle, Maja is a very, very professional person. I’m sorry for all the troubles. I assure you that everything will be okay.” – by Cebuano actor, Matteo Guidicelli after facts were sorted out about the Star Magic Ball physical altercation with Coco Martin last weekend. He got jealous when Coco kissed now-admitted girlfriend Maja Salvador on a mall tour promo. Miscommunication led to more miscommunication, hence, the fight. And that is his public version of the story and we’re sticking to that.
