Former beauty queen-actress Daisy Reyes vies for Mrs. World title in Vietnam

November 16, 2009 | By admin |

Hindi alam ni Daisy Reyes na siya na pala ang maging official representative ng Pilipinas sa international peagent Mrs. World 2009. “That was still surprised Daisy when the local franchisee of Mrs. World approached the former Bb. Pilipinas.

The first choice was backed off because of personal and family problems. She’s in America right now. That’s why at the last minute, they have to look for a replacement,” says Daisy’s manager and publicist, Ma. Linda Celestial. She will left the country on November 6.

“So when the opportunity was offered to Daisy she didn’t have second thought in accepting it. Kulang man sa preparasyon, Daisy had to accept the challenge. After all, she was crowned Bb. Pilipinas-World in 1996. She still maintains that regal stance onstage and she still has the face and figure of a beauty queen.

Daisy is now happily married to an Indian national at may isa na siyang anak, si Lauren Reyes, five years old.

Short bio:

At fifteen, Daisy Reyes won Mod Cerinas de Manila pageant, her first taste of pageantry. A year after, she tried her luck at Eat Bulaga’s Beautiful Girl but failed to make it to the finals. While in college at Arellano University, a talent scout spotted the statuesque beauty and prod her to join Miss Manila pageant placing second runner-up.

In 1995, she joined Mutya ng Pilipinas pageant winning second runner-up to Maricel Morales and Faith Amigo. The title Mutya ng Pilipinas Expo-International gave her the opportunity to represent the country in Miss Expo-International pageant in Ecuador that year where she landed in the top five.

She joined Bb. Pilipinas a year after. In spite of the insurmountable pressure, she stood her ground and was finally crowned Bb. Pilipinas-World and was also awarded the Best in Long Gown. She went on to compete in Miss World pageant in India representing the Philippines. Though she failed to make it to the top ten, she was adjudged Miss Personality in a bevy of 89 world beauties.
