during a send-off party for the beauty queen held at the
Araneta Coliseum Wednesday night.

Pamela Bianca Manalo left Wednesday night for the Bahamas
where she will compete in the 2009 Miss Universe Beauty
Pageant on August 23.

At the send-off party at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon
City, Manalo, 22, said she is ready and challenged to bring
the title once again to the Philippines.

“I believe that if you really want something, you have to
give it your 101 percent,’’ said the former flight
attendant, who stands 5’10’’.

In preparing for the pageant, Manalo said she took language
courses, reviewed Philippine history, geography, economics,
and arts and culture, and brushed up on her knowledge about
the Bahamas.

The beauty queen has also undergone on-cam training, like
hosting and angles, plus hair and make-up lessons since she
will have to do her own hair and make-up during the Miss
Universe pageant.

Manalo is a sister of Miss World semifinalist Katherine
Manalo-Hernandez.

Their aunt is former Miss Philippines International Nini
Ramos Licaros.

She has been taking part in humanitarian missions to uplift
the plight of poor Filipinos, and improving the morale of
the country’s wounded soldiers.

She also finds time to take part in community-based
projects. “I am very thankful that my family has always
been blessed but I’m also concerned about the plight of the
poor families in our community.”

“Before I joined Bb. Pilipinas, I’ve always been happy to
volunteer for Gawad Kalinga in building houses for the
poor, joining medical missions and participating in our
community’s feeding programs,’’ Manalo said.

When she competed in the 2009 Bb. Pilipinas pageant, Manalo
also won special awards such as the Manila Bulletin
Reader’s Choice Award, Miss Natasha, Miss Philippine
Airlines, and Best in Swimsuit.

Prior to the competition, Manalo stood out in cheerleading
during high school and college. She also dabbled in
modeling when she was 14 and also tried her hand at TV
hosting. During her safety training as a flight attendant,
she graduated first honorable mention among 75 cabin crew
members.

If she wins the Miss Universe pageant, Manalo will be the
third Filipina to win the title. The past winners were
Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran.
