11/03/2011 Miles away in the cold, foggy streets of London, a Filipina is making waves.
Miss World Philippines Gwendoline Ruais has been winning left and right in the competitions leading up to the Miss World 2011 pageant.
Ruais is a finalist of the Miss World’s “Top 20 Beach Beauty," “Beauty With A Purpose," and “Top Model" fast-track competitions. The other fast-track competitions are for Sports and Talent.
The winners of the competitions will be announced on November 6 (November 7 in the Philippines), guaranteeing them a slot in the semifinal round of the pageant.
The "Top 20 Beach Beauty" is the pageant’s swimsuit fast-track competition while the "Top Model" is a modeling fast-track competition.
The “Beauty With A Purpose" competition, meanwhile, focuses on the charities from all over the world and selects finalists based on causes the contestants have supported. The name of the competition takes from the pageant’s overall theme.
According to her profile on the Miss World website, the 5’11" Ruais is part of the Model United Nations Assembly, an academic simulation of the United Nations. Ruais subsequently chose to join the Human Rights Council, where she was elected best debater.
She is 15th in pageant-ranking site Missosology’s “Hot Picks" for the week of October 20.
