She was born in the pristine-beach surrounded town of Panglao in the island province of Bohol, central Philippines on April 7, 1987 to Allan and Ma. Socorro Igpit. Anna has an elder sister and a younger brother. When she was still months old, the family relocated to Cebu city where Anna grew up.
She spent her early schooling years, from prep to high school, at St. Theresa’ College og the ICM sisters where as early in senior high the young Anna immersed herself in a community outreach program of teaching catechism to the children. in the slum areas and interacting with the lonely men and women in the city’s home for the aged. Anna’s concern for others truly started at a very young age.
No wonder then that Anna has turned into a positive, determined and committed young lady. Nonetheless, she still finds time to enjoy playing with her pet Shitzu dogs.
Like most young girls of her age, Anna loves chocolates, R n B music and love songs. This BS Tourism sophomore student at Southwestern University in Cebu city also prefers reading inspirational books.
Before Bb. Pilipinas, anna enjoyed being the toast of her provincemates. she was Ms. Mandaue, Miss Bohol, and Ms. Talisay among other beauty titles she garnered.
She is into modeling as part time job, but looks forward to becoming an international flight attendant to fulfill her dream of traveling around the world and visiting all exotic places she has only read about.
Her motto in life is, “Live each day as if its last…: and this has inspired her to cherish every moment of her young life and has “become a better woman from experience…” she frankly confesses.
Anna will be off on September 1st to compete for the Miss world title on September 30th in Warsaw, Poland. We wish her our best.
BPCI Press Release
From MISS WORLD Website:
More than 100 beautiful young girls arrived in Warsaw, today, for the commencement of Miss World 2006. Sunshine chased away the rain clouds to provide a glorious backdrop to the arrival of the contestants at the city’s Okacie airport.
The world’s media and Miss World fans flocked to the arrivals hall as flight after flight brought contestants from around the globe for the start of the four-week spectacular that will take in the sites of Poland.
What to pack is always a consideration when travelling. But when one is spending a month in a foreign country with a schedule of events, galas and TV specials, this dilemma is multiplied to colossal proportions. For many contestants, the solution is simple – take more luggage, with the average number of bags being five. “I tried to
keep my packing to a minimum but it was impossible to chose,’ said Catherine, representing Northern Ireland. “I only brought three suitcases – which is pretty good going, I think!”
Australia was one of the first to arrive, today, after a journey of more than 20 hours. “It was a long flight but now that I am here it seems so exciting,’ she said. “It is good to meet the other contestants and hear about our plans. We have a fantastic month ahead.”
Excitement levels are rising as more girls arrive. Philippines could not contain her enthusiasm,
commenting: “I have been looking forward to this for months, I am so excited.” Guatemala was very happy to arrive after a 16 hour flight and was determined to “have the best time of her life in the coming month.”
El Salvador agreed: “After travelling for over two days I am looking forward to making many new friends and learn about the Polish people and their rich history.” Finland already feels at home in Poland with the weather being similar to where she left from this morning: “It is only a short flight and it feels like it is all happening now. I am so excited to be here.” Venezuela agreed: “I wouldn’t want to miss this for anything in the world. This is going to be the most exciting time of my life. I cannot wait.”
Today the contestants spent time getting to know each other and coming up to speed on their packed program for the month. On Saturday they will see some of the splendour of Warsaw’s old town, enjoy a Chopin concert in a park, before a grand fireworks extravaganza and light show at the Congress Hall. The highlight of the weekend will be The Miss World Welcome Gala at Warsaw Technical College, when the contestants will be officially introduced to Poland in a two-hour live TV special.
After spending three days in Warsaw, the contestants will fly to Gdansk for a week beside the Baltic sea to film the Miss World Beachwear final.
