CONGRATULATIONS GWENDOLYN RUAIS: MISS WORLD 1ST RUNNER-UP 2011

The wave of success in the Philippines beauty landscape just keep on coming this year. After Shamcey Supsup got 3rd runner-up in the prestigious Miss Universe 2011, another Pinay beauty queen made us proud. Gwendolyn Ruais made history as she became the highest placing Filipina in the history of Miss World pageant. Not an early favorite, she strutted her best in the finals night where we saw her ranking climb from as low as 9th and eventually finishing runner-up to Miss Venezuela.

Great job Gwendolyn! Here's one pic of our beauty queen with my best friend. :) Wow, she's tall!!!
