Filipina Miss Asia Carolinas Candidate Monique Tuzon

Lest I'd be charged of being biased towards Filipinas with mixed ethnicity particularly those with Caucasian blood, I present to you Miss Monique Tuzon. 

As you could see my posts usually feature celebrities who are mostly “mixed” (some call them Eurasians, but here in the islands we lovingly call them "mestizas"). I think, their dominance in Philippine showbiz is caused by a Westernized concept of beauty promoted by our local media.  

Now to unburden me of guilt, I am featuring: Ms. Monique Tuzon. Here she is, dressed in traditional "Filipiniana" wear (national costume).

Monique Tuzon is Miss Philippines candidate for Miss Asia Carolinas, a pageant organized by a non-profit organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

She is Asian-American but her looks are more Filipina; I believe her parents are Pinoys who migrated to the US because she is a real pure Pinay beauty. I encourage all our kababayan (countrymen) to support her! 

Oh I almost forgot. A meaningful Labor Day to all the workers of the world! Never forget the cause! In union, there is strength!

Gorgeous Welsh-Filipina Rhian Ramos | Video

Pinay Commercial model, singer and actress Rhian Ramos has Welsh and Filipino blood. A controversial celebrity who made the headlines after her much publicized break-up with Mo Twister (amidst rumors of an abortion scandal), she was born on October 3, 1990 in Makati City (the Philippines’ commercial, business and financial district).

Rhian is the youngest daughter of Welsh Gareth Howell and Filipina Clara Ramos, and niece of Ida Henares, an executive of GMA Network.

She first starred in the TV series Captain Barbell and Stairway to Heaven, which open doors for her to star in various commercials. She was then casted in several GMA network productions such as Lupin, My Only Love and Zorro.

Rhian made her film debut in 2007 with "The Promise". In 2009, she made the dance-music album Audition Dance Battle under Universal Records. She was also casted in the fastasy flick Ang Panday.

In 2010, the gorgeous Miss Ramos ranked #17 in FHM Philippines Sexiest Women of the World.

In late 2011, she made the headlines after a video by her ex-boyfriend radio personality Mo Twister went viral. In said video, a tearful Mo Twister alleged she had an abortion. Photos of the couple, showing them torridly kissing each other, soon proliferated in the web after their break-up. (If you ask me, I think this dude is a total jerk! He should be brought to the courts, or better yet, to a mental asylum).

The said viral video and controversial photo below:

Soon after, the pretty Filipina star soon disappeared from the public spotlight (I hope this is just temporary as longingly await for her comeback).
