The Philippine franchise for Miss Supranational was reportedly acquired by BPCI prior to its holding this year's pageant. However, the Bb. Pilipinas-Supranational crown was not given. Elaine Kay Moll, the first runner up of Bb. Pilipinas 2012 was handpicked by the organizers to participate in Miss Supranational.
Elaine is the first Bb. Pilipinas 2012 beauty to be fielded in an international pageant and this is quite a good start for the country. The Philippine representative to Miss World, Queenierich Rehman also did well, landing in the Top 15 and making world headlines with her beatboxing skills.
Kudos to Elaine Kay Moll. Going up there without much preparations and landing in the top 5 out of 53 candidates is a great achievement. You make us all proud!
