That's right, UNICA HIJA Y AMIGAS!
And here's the PROOF that the 2004 MS. MAJA INT'L was staged in COLOMBIA (SOUTH AMERICA) LAST YEAR on ARIL 11, 2004.
The following MS. MAJA INT'L NEWS ARTICLE was taken from the FRONT PAGE of the MANILA BULLETIN NEWSPAPER (APRIL 13, 2004 ISSUE)...
THE 2004 MISS MAJA INTERNATIONAL PAGEANT IN COLOMBIA, SOUTH AMERICA (PHILIPPINES NARROWLY MISSED THE MS. MAJA INT'L CROWN!)
MARGARET ANN "MAAN" BAYOT, the 2004 BB. PILIPINAS-INTERNATIONAL, narrowly missed bringing home the 2004 MISS MAJA INTERNATIONAL CROWN from Colombia!
Bayot, who became an instant crowd favorite with her strong showing during the pageant (April 11, 2004), finished second (1st Runner-up) to MS. COLOMBIA and now MISS MAJA INTERNATIONAL SANDRA SANCHEZ. MS. CANADA NATALIE GLEBOVA placed 2nd runner-up in the unique international beauty pageant that pays tribute to world-renowned Spanish painter DON FRANCISCO DE GOYA, most noted for his masterpieces, the DRESSED MAJA and the NAKED MAJA. Other winners were MS. PARAGUAY TANIA DOMANIZKI, 3rd runner-up; and MS. BOLIVIA PATRICIA ESCOBAR URIBE, 4th runner-up.
Historically, the MS. MAJA INTERNATIONAL (or LA MAJA INTERNACIONAL) PAGEANT was organized in 1965 in Madrid, Spain. The Spanish word "MAJA" is the ultimate compliment to women in Zaragoza and all over Spain. To be called MAJA is to be recognized in beauty, brains and charm and since 1965, the ASSOCIATION GOYA INTERNATIONAL, a non-profit organization, has formed what is known today as THE MOST EDUCATIONALLY SLANTED PAGEANT IN THE WORLD and THE ONLY GLOBAL HISPANIC-INSPIRED PRESTIGIOUS BEAUTY PAGEANT.
Other Latin or Hispanic-inspired pageants are regional (only Spanish-speaking countries--only South America, Spain & parts of Europe are involved) but the MS. MAJA INTERNATIONAL is GLOBAL--joined by nations of ALL CONTINENTS in the world.
The Association Goya International has made a point TO PROMOTE TOURISM IN THE HOST COUNTRY as well as TO ESTABLISH BRIDGES AMONG CANDIDATES THAT MAY LEAD TO BETTER DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.
Maan joined the list of NOTED FILIPINAS who have fared well in the previous Ms. Maja International Pageants, Filipinas who brought honors to the Philippines and made the country proud.
