Lucky Number 13 Wins Miss Aviation Philippines 2016

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I keep telling people that the number 13 is not unlucky. Well, it was indeed a lucky number for candidate number 13 of the Miss Aviations Philippines 2016 competition on February 9, 2016 at the Manila Peninsula hotel in Makati.

The new muse of aviators is now Kristine Malicsi, followed by Reichelieu Santos as 1st runner up and Trizia Abaya as second runner up. Congratulations to the girls for a well deserving win.

Coincidentally, all their numbers were in a series as the other two were candidates number 15 and 14 respectively. Also, from what was revealed during the swimsuit competition proper at Camaya Coast, the leading candidates were also the three who also won awards during that part of the competition.

I pretty much like everything that happened on the grand coronation night as the girls were all splendid on stage. From the different attires they wore up to the Question and Answer portion where they all answered the judges questions very intellectually.

Capt. Joy Roa and Carla Cabrera Quimpo couldn't be any prouder for the candidates who were all spectacular that night. Cleo Margaret Brown also gave his last walk as Miss Aviation Philippines 2015 to make way for the new Aviation beauty.

14 lovely candidates vied for the Miss Aviation Philippines 2016 crown. The ladies come from diverse aviation careers, including flight attendants, student pilots, air frame and avionics technicians, and students taking up degrees in aviation, tourism and related fields.

The candidates also include Maria Gianne Beatrice Itaralde, Catherine Cubinar, Katrine Gabriola, Cherry Rose Fernandez, Zandra Magsino, Katelene Joy Basco, Maricris Aldanese, Carina Aguinaldo, Airish Mae Apostol, Justine Anne Embate, and Casey Ann Austria.

Supporting the advocacy of Miss Aviation Philippines is the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta (PIHABF), one of Asia’s longest-running sports aviation events, that gathers aviators from the local and international scene. The annual Weekend of Everything That Flies is led by Capt. Joy Roa of Ad Asia.

The night was also an opportunity to announce Aviator awards for participants and supporters of the hot air balloon fiesta, as well as the introduction of this year's hot air balloon owners who will be flying their babies up into the Clark, Pampanga air from February 11 to 14.
