The Philippines has its second Miss Supranational! ✨🇵🇭

 Ma. Katrina "Kat" Llegado is a Filipina beauty queen, Philippine Air Force reservist, and Financial Management graduate from De La Salle University. Her pageant journey is a testament to perseverance and determination—from being crowned Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2019 in Miss World Philippines and finishing as 5th Runner-Up at Reina Hispanoamericana 2019, to placing 2nd Runner-Up at Miss Universe Philippines 2022 and reaching the Top 6 in 2025, she earned the Miss Supranational Philippines title, setting the stage for the biggest achievement of her career.

The Philippines has its second Miss
Supranational! 

Ma. Katrina Llegado has been crowned Miss Supranational 2026, making history as the Philippines' second titleholder and the first-ever Supra Queen to wear the iconic Fioletowa Crown.

This remarkable victory further strengthens the Philippines' legacy in international pageantry and marks a proud moment that Filipinos around the world will celebrate for years to come.

During the SupraModel she received a lot of bashing when she did not enter the top 2 per continent but she emerged victorious when she won the crown in the finale night so it is a learning lesson not to underestimate the Filipina queen.

Congratulations, Kat! Maraming salamat sa napakagandang laban at sa muling pagtaas ng bandila ng Pilipinas. 

Your triumph is an inspiration to the nation!

Ibit's Farm Leads Gakakan Tree Conservation Project Through Seed Donations

  

City of San Fernando, La Union — Ibit's Farm, led by Mr. Manuel Gurion Acosta, has launched a Gakakan Tree Conservation Project by donating Gakakan tree seeds to government agencies, schools, tourism stakeholders, and environmental advocates in La Union and other parts of the Philippines.

The project aims to protect and preserve the Gakakan tree, a native species that is becoming harder to find in many areas. By growing and planting more Gakakan trees today, the project hopes to prevent the species from disappearing and ensure that future generations can still enjoy its many environmental benefits.

This initiative is Mr. Acosta's personal contribution in support of the environmental programs of the Association of Tourism Industries and Networks in La Union (ATINLU) and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of La Union (CCILU). It also encourages everyone—from government agencies and schools to businesses and local communities—to work together in protecting the environment.

The donated seeds will be grown by the recipient organizations before being planted in forests, watersheds, schools, parks, farms, and other suitable areas. As the trees grow, they will help improve biodiversity, prevent soil erosion, absorb carbon dioxide, and make communities more resilient to climate change.

Mr. Acosta believes that protecting native trees is everyone's responsibility.

"Every Gakakan tree we plant today helps protect our environment and gives future generations the chance to enjoy this valuable native tree. Conservation starts with each one of us."

ATINLU and CCILU welcomed the project, saying it is a great example of how the agriculture, tourism, business, education, and government sectors can work together to care for the environment.

Before judging Gwendoline Meliz Soriano, know the facts.

 Toxicity in Pageantry:

Before judging Gwendoline Meliz Soriano, know the facts.

Long before she became Bb. Pilipinas International 2026, she had already founded Project Beloved PH, empowering the youth through outreach and volunteerism. She never needed a crown to serve her community because service has always been part of who she is.

Saying she is not using her platform for the country ignores the work she has already been doing even before winning a title.

Gwendoline is a beauty queen, not a political activist. No title obliges someone to speak on every issue. She has already expressed her stand against corruption, and she has every right to choose how and when to use her voice.

Instead of attacking someone who has just achieved a remarkable milestone, why not celebrate her success? We don't have to agree on everything, but we should at least be fair. Judge people based on facts—not assumptions. Sometimes, the best way to honor someone's victory is to let them enjoy it.
