It was a sweet victory for Moll, 21, who was appointed last-minute by Stella Marquez Araneta, Chair of the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI), to represent the country in Europe’s most popular beauty contest.
Araneta lauded Moll’s winning in the beauty pageant.“Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. warmly congratulates Ms. Elaine Kay Moll for placing 3rd Runner Up in the just concluded Miss Supranational
2012 held in Warsaw, Poland. Kay’s impressive finish in a formidable field of more than fifty of the most captivating women from all over the world is a continuing testament to Filipina beauty, intelligence, talent and substance. The Filipino people and your BPCI family are so proud of you, Kay!” She added: “Elaine Kay Moll’s remarkable showing at the Miss Supranational 2012 further enhances the standing of the Philippines as a force to contend with in the global pageant circuit.” Yesterday was the fourth staging of the Miss Supranational beauty contest, a pageant founded by the World Beauty Association, which aims to “unite our world with beauty.’’ Moll said that she is happy to represent the Philippines in the pageant. “It has always been my dream to represent our country.
I really worked hard for this, endured very strenuous trainings and cold weather in Poland, but I am glad that I was able to bring home honor to the Filipinos.” Moll is expected to arrive in the country anytime this week, the same week when another beauty queen 2012 Bb. Pilipinas-International Nicole Schmitz leaves for the Miss International 2012 pageant which will be held on October 21 in Okinawa, Japan. At the Miss Supranational beauty contest, there was no final Q&A for the Top 5 finalists. All the semifinalists competed again in evening gown and swimsuit.
Moll, who stands 5’11, is no stranger to international competitions, having competed in the Asia Model Awards in South Korea just last January prior to her Binibining Pilipinas stint. She is also a student athlete, from Catarman, Samar.
Before she left for Poland, Moll said: “I wasn’t expecting [that I will be sent to the Miss Supranational pageant]. But I’m excited, at the same time nervous. Excited because this will be my first time in
Europe, in Poland—and for a competition pa! Nervous because this time, I know na mas mabigat yung competition. Before kasi, it was just modeling, and it was within Asia. Now, it’s global, kaya nag-p-prepare talaga ako.” Her idols include Miss Universe 1999 1st Runner-Up Miriam Quiambao, Miss Universe 2010 4th Runner-Up Venus Raj, and Miss Universe 2011 3rd RunnerUp Shamcey Supsup.
Aside from the Miss Supranational beauty pageant, the BPCI also sends delegates to the Miss Universe, Miss International, and Miss Tourism Queen Inter national.
After Moll and Schmitz, other Philippine representatives expected to do well in international pageants are Katrina Dimaranan, who will compete in the Miss Tourism Queen International in China, and Janine Tugonon, who will vie for the Miss Universe title. Both delegates will compete in December.
