    ANGELES CITY – Fashion designer Renée Salud, national organizer of the Mutya ng Pilipinas 2012, paid paeans to the “inherent beauty” of women in Pampanga and other provinces in Central Luzon.

    Salud, who graced the recent Mutya ning Pilipinas-Central Luzon leg at the Lewis Grand Hotel here, said they had decided to conduct a search in the region because of “the preponderance of beautiful women in these provinces, notably in Pampanga.”

    Salud’s assessment came before Emma Tiglao of Mabalacat, Pampanga was adjudged grand winner of the leg participated in by 12 contestants.

    Tiglao was also named Miss Copycat Digital Photogenic. Her all-Pampanga court included Charmaine Ann Guinto and Lilibeth Morta of Mabalacat, Cherry Joy Demate of Magalang and Camille Guevarra of Porac.

    Salud disclosed that the search in Central Luzon had not been done in other regions, “primarily because we don’t have reliable organizers yet in these areas.”

    Salud, who is dubbed Philippines’ Fashion Ambassador, expressed gratitude to Avel Antonio, coordinator of the search in Region III for the past two years, and his team, including choreographer Joebee Henson and set designers Lucas Tan.

    “I thought the search will just be in a basketball court or open area. The venue at Lewis Grand in Angeles City is perfect,” said Salud, who has been national organizer of one of the two major annual pageants in the country for five years.

    Salud said the grand coronation night will be in August in a yet-to-be-announced venue in Metro Manila.

    For his part, Avelino thanked all the minor and major sponsors of the Central Luzon leg, including Punto Central Luzon.

    The winners of the special awards are: Elegance Anna Marie Querubin, Lewis Grand Hotel Queen; Demate, Bodyshade Scents Fresh Face; Jane Serrano, Medi Spa Award; Roxanne Diata, E-Derm Beauty; Sarah Camille De Leon, Be Lite Body Beautiful; and Camille Guevarra, ACLC Award.
