Finally after several months since she bagged the local
crown, it’s Janine’s time to shine.
With the Miss Universe 2012
pageant just a few weeks away, sponsors, Bb. Pilipinas queens and media gave
Miss Universe Philippines Janine Mari Tugonon a rousing send off during the
Official Presentation held at the Gateway Cinema, Araneta Center. It was in
April of this year when Janine bagged the much-coveted crown before a mammoth
crowd at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. In the months that ensued, Janine would be
deluged by questions about pressure after back-to-back impressive finishes by
her predecessors, the policy changes of Miss Universe and several rumors about
the time and venue of the staging of this year’s Miss Universe pageant. But instead of letting all these distractions
affect her negatively, Janine simply focused her energies and attention in
preparing for what could be the most important event so far in her young life.
This is the reason for her grace and composure despite the distractions. “When I won the Miss Universe Philippines
2012 title, I felt really pressured. Now that the actual competition is fast
approaching, emotions are much more intense, but I also feel calm and confident
knowing that I can and that I will give my best. I’m 100 percent ready,”
shares Janine.
Her pre-pageant trainings are not
to be taken lightly. Janine’s trips to the gym have been frequent and rigorous.
Her love for ballet has become useful in terms of weight loss – she dances at
home to help shed the unnecessary pounds. Together with her fellow Binibining
Pilipinas 2012 winners, she practices the pasarela
or the beauty queen’s way of walking, undergoes language and personality development
trainings, takes crash courses in sociology and philosophy, and of course, she
also tries to perfect the way she projects herself in front of the
camera. She has even developed her own “walk” now popularly called as “the
cobra”. Apart from these, Janine has even fulfilled commitments as product
endorser and official representative of the Araneta Group. In between all
these, she even manages to do television guest appearances and media visits to
help her interact with different audiences and situations. Janine has
definitely been one busy beauty queen.
The months of training has also
pulled Janine out of her shell. Fine tuning her personality, according to her,
was one of the most drastic changes she had to go through. “I used to be the silent type who wasn’t used to mingling with
different sorts of people. That had to change. I’ve learned to be a
people-person and socially engage myself by becoming genuinely more interested
in others,” the BS Pharmacy Cum Laude from the University of Sto. Tomas revealed.
Janine disclosed how there were
lots of individuals who wanted her to change her thoughts and beliefs aside
from her numbers on the weighing scale, but she says she always keeps Miss
Universe 2011 3rd Runner Up Shamcey Supsup’s words in mind – to stay
true to herself no matter what.
But Janine has always been a girl
who would persevere once she is convinced of what she wanted. This she proved
when she joined the pageant again after placing first runner during the Bb.
Pilipinas 2011, despite mixed reactions and advice from friends and family. Her
perseverance and gut feel paid off, “I
believe this is where I’m really meant to be. God let me join the pageant once
again, and he even gave me the Miss Universe-Philippines crown. This time,
losing is not an option. I have to set my mind on winning,” Janine asserts.
Predecessors Venus Raj who placed 4th runner up in 2010 and Shamcey
Supsup, 3rd runner up last year are also convinced that Janine has
got what it takes to shine at this year’s tilt.
The 61st Miss Universe
Pageant will be telecast live from Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino,Las
Vegas, Nevada on December 19, (December 20 Philippine Time). It will be aired on
ABS-CBN. Andy Cohen and E! News co-anchor Giuliana Rancic will host the widely
viewed event.
Janine leaves for the pageant on
December 2. Janine is also hoping that pageant-crazy Filipinos all over the
world will support her via online voting and by watching the pageant. She is
enjoining all to log on to www.missuniverse.com
for further information. The winner of the online voting secures a place in the
semifinals. Voting started last November 15 and ends on Tuesday, December 18 at
6:00 pm. A person can vote up to 10 times per day per account or valid email
address.
After a second try, several
months of waiting and preparing, Janine is ready to be the Philippines’ newest
global source of pride. “I will give it
my all, but I can’t win the crown on my own. I need your prayers and support,”
she says.
