FUNFARE By Ricardo F. Lo - The Philippine Star 12/19/2006
April Love Antolo Jordan, 18, is the last (but not the least) Filipina this year to compete in an international contest. The Pamantasan ng Maynila HRM junior, a consistent dean’s lister, is representing the country at the 13th Miss Tourism Queen of the Year International contest in Kuala Lumpur. Finals are set for Dec. 30.
Here’s a brief report from Funfare’s "beauty experts" Felix Manuel, Joey Cezeare, Gery Yumping and Francis Calubaquib:
It’s interesting to note that two Filipinas have won the title, Sheryl Capili Santarin in 1995 and Racquel Tentoco Uy in 1999.
The pageant’s objective is to promote tourism around the world, friendship and world peace, and to honor exceptional women of today.
April Love, who stands 5’8.5" and measures 34-25-35, has a string of beauty titles to her name – Miss Sophomore, Miss Quezon National High School and Miss Calabarzon 2005. She was a semi-finalist in this year’s Miss Philippines-Earth pageant held last May (she won the Miss Crowne Plaza Galleria and Gandang Ricky Reyes special awards) and, last June, was named Mutya ng Pilipinas second runner-up.
April Love is the eldest child of Eugene Jordan and Imelda Antolo. Her siblings are Mary June, 16; Zosimo II, eight; and Earli David, three. She finished elementary school at the King and Savior International School and high school at the Quezon National High School as a scholar of the Department of Science and Technology.
She’s competing with 50 other beauties for the Miss Tourism Queen International title.
Among her sponsors are Manila Mayor Lito Atienza, Lucena Mayor Ramon Talaga, Quezon Gov. Wilfrido Enverga, Dr. Albert and Joan Carbonel and Sergio Valencia (chairman of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, PCSO).
