Philippine Pageantry Welcomes A New Mover


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Now officially joining the ranks of pageant organizers in the Philippines is the husband and wife team of Carlo and Irene Montemayor of ICSM Infinity Pageants, a new organization consisting of professionals from the posh pageant industry and other businesses. Irene will hold the position of National Director for Operations and Corporate Development, while her husband Carlos takes the role of Managing Director.

At an intimate gathering on May 24. 2019 with members of the media at one of the luxurious pavilion rooms of Shangri-La at the Fort in Bonifacio Global City of Taguig, Irene and her husband formally announced the newest organization to now belong among the groups handling beauty pageants in the country, and sending their winners to compete in corresponding international counterparts.

The other members of the organizations are Ton Lao as Director for Creative Affairs, Jace Chiong as Director for Corporate Communication and Norman Tinio as Director for Media Relations and Publicity.

Everyone was also treated to a Peruvian cuisine lunch personally attended to by resident head Chef Carlo Huerta of Samba, one of the restaurants that are part of the Shangri-La the Fort. It was an amazing array of specialty dishes of the restaurant which also included their various cocktails creatively presented in eye-catching containers.

Philippine Global Queens, the title of the new pageant was formally launched last May 24 at the same venue where six US-based international titles were revealed namely, Miss Cosmos International, Miss Regency International, Miss Global United, Miss Continents and Miss United International. Aside from the six titles, there will be two runners-up. Fabulous prizes and opportunities will await the winners.

The nationwide search is said to begin on the latter part of June, while the pre-pageant events will start sometime August. The grand coronation will be happening on October at the Grand Ballroom of Shangri-La The Fort, also announced as among the brands who are partnering with ICSM Infinity Pageants. For the inaugural year, the organization is expecting fifty (50) qualified applicants to be named as official candidates.

ICSM is also holding a pageant for bonafide college and university students, the Mr. and Miss College University. If initial plan will push thru, the pageant will be held in the last quarter of the year or early next year.

The Montemayors acquired franchises from Cosmos and Regency International Pageants, a US based firms producing and organizing pageants for Miss, Teens, Pre-Teens and Married Women. But for their initial venture, ICSM is focusing on pageants for single women. The eventual winners of the inaugural search will be competing next year in their respective international pageants.

Congratulations and Best of luck to the endeavors of Irene and Carlo!
