Another Filipina shines in the international scene, as Precious Lara Quigaman becomes the country's fourth Miss International in the recent 45th Miss International beauty pageant held in Tokyo, Japan.
Precious Lara Quigaman had shown her innate talent in school, performing in school plays and other presentations. She also joined a contest in a popular noontime show, and in 2001 at 18, joined the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant. She wasn't lucky that time.
This year, at 22, Precious Lara tried her luck once more with Binibining Pilipinas and won the title Binibining Pilipinas International. She represented the country in the 45th Miss International beauty competition in Tokyo, and as all of us know by now, won the title, besting 51 other contestants from all over the world.
Miss Dominican Republic Yadira Geara Cury was first runner-up while Miss Finland Susanna Laine was second runner-up.
The finalists were asked to write an essay about their advocacies and plans to help the less fortunate. Lara wrote about street children. She said she would like to be a missionary doctor to be able to help the poor and the needy.
As beauty contestant, Precious Lara was asked about the true essence of a woman. Her answer was something like this: that a woman's true essence comes to fore when she is able to care and give and make sacrifices for other people; a real woman is a friend to everyone.
Lara's only regret in light is that her father did not live long enough to be with her in her hour of glory. Her dad who truly believed his beauty and brains daughter would win the competition passed away last May.
On her arrival on October 3, she was accorded a thicker tape parade along Ayala Ave. in Makati's Central Business District. She paid a courtesy call on President Arroyo later on.
Lara's grandfather Armando de San Agustin described his granddaughter as simple and quiet while she was growing up in Ususan, Taguig. She spends her teenage days in Biqan, Laguna, where she attended high school at La Consolacion College Biqan. Later Lara went to London and studied at Filton College.
In her portfolio, Lara is listed as a freelance web writer before concentrating in modeling at 5-5 tall the beauty titlist weight 100 lbs. and measures 33-23-34.
A local news program said Lara impressed the judges with her answer on kids welfare. Lara said she hopes to raise funds for children and give them free education, not only in the Philippines but also around the world. She said that her plans will promote friendship among nation.
The three other Filipina beauty queens who won the Miss International title were Gemma Cruz (1965), Aurora Pijuan (1970), and Melanie Marquez (1979).
We congratulate Precious Lara Quigaman for bringing honor to our country as 2005 Miss International.
