Mutya ng Palawan is one of the highlights at Baragatan sa PalawanFestival 2017. Where almost every municipalitysends their candidate and hoping to bring home that golden crown embellished with authentic south sea pearls. That crown will surely look glamorously grand to anyone who'll win the title.


Mutya ng Palawan 2015 - Sharla Santillan

Presenting the Mutya ng Palawan Candidates
In no particular order. Let's hear what each candidate has to say about the municipality they represent.


Mutya ng Araceli - Mary Honelene Gorosin 

Mutya ng Taytay -  Marie Victoria Torres

Mutya ng El Nido - Cherry Mae Distal 
 Mutya ng Palawan fascinates me so much, maybe because I'm a fan of folk dances and she dances so well. Plus she is charming too.
Mutya ng Aborlan - Venus Johnson 
Mutya ng Aborlan looks like Marian Rivera to me.
Mutya ng Busuanga - Roxanne Jay Amit 
Mutya ng Busuanga is the only one who presented and acting talent during the Talent Night. All I can remember is... Leo :)
Mutya ng Bataraza - Vanessa Yap 

Mutya ng Culion - Chister Jem Quimzon 
 Mutya ng Culion dances well too. I think she presented a ballroom like talent. And her custome is pretty cute too. Purple.
Mutya ng Coron - Joanna Lyla De Guia 
Mutya ng Coron is Pretty but a bit shy. She just graduated from high school. 
BTW her talent? weight lifting. Awesome!!!

Mutya ng Brooke's Point - Reah Sadang 
Mutya ng Brooke's point looks like Mirriam Quiambao to me. At first, she wasn't that stunning at all. But later that night, She conquered it all.

Mutya ng Cuyo - Kathreen Grace Ahorro 
 Mutya ng Cuyo is one of the crowds favorite. She's pretty and charming too with that sophisticated and classic glances, She can go along way.
Mutya ng Kalayaan - Mary Justine Anne Lucero 

Mutya ng Kalayaan is my top choice. She carried herself well, having a nice smile and beautiful eyes and of course the not to be missed gorgeous body. Shocks! am I on a girl crushing mode on?

Mutya ng Quezon - Mirah Cornelia 
Mutya ng Quezon, there is something about this girl.. There's this moment that she just popped and instantly became noticeable. For me she can be a model material. 

Mutya ng Magsaysay - Rachel Lee Aniar 
 Mutya ng Magsaysay is one of the pretty faces there is. Slighty, hawig nya si Queen P,
Mutya ng Rizal - Arjane Junio Cafugauan 
Mutya ng Rizal has stage presence. And she walks tall.

Mutya ng Roxas - Analey Tansiongco 
Mutya ng Roxas, looks like Maja Salvador in some angles.

Mutya ng Puerto Princesa - Phillline Louisse Ivy Dimla 

Mutya ng Puerto Princesa, looks like shaina magdayao for me.

On this point, I was like, "What's with Palawan? Maybe they have the best oxygen, the perfect grain of rice or was it the genes? That all of the candidates has its own unique beauty in it. And honestly, I it was sooo hard to pick just one to go or side for?

Then comes the talent night with the usual and unusual talent that some got my jaws dropped and eyes pop. Also, there's one talent that I kinda felt meh' and also one where felt worried if she's ok after her stunt. See it for yourself.
Talent Night























Now, this part is what Gabby Concepcion is been waiting for. Kidding aside, or maybe not I didn't like the jokes he throws in :P And seems like Venus Raj can't stand it either :P But hey I'm not hating G, also not lovin it.

Jollibee's biggest milestone ever!!! 
Jollibee opens 1,000th store in BGC
The grand opening of its 1,000th store in the Philippines located at BGC Triangle Drive in Taguig City. 


Jollibee's 1000th Store is the 6th store in BGC and 16th in Taguig City




Creative murals also give the milestone store engaging and contemporary feel, starting with a 27-foot long drive-thru Jollibee Pinoy Art containing images of the Philippine Eagle, the carabao, and the sarimanok grabbing some Chickenjoy to bring home, while another artwork welcomes visitors to “a world of joy” at the parking entrance. Indeed, from the exterior down to the details, the 1,000th store is set to enhance the overall dining experience of customers. 

Jollibee, Proudly Pinoy. 
The well-loved "Jabee" and the brand has come full bloom, The moment that it opened its first store way back in 1970’s as a modest ice cream parlor in Cubao, to becoming one of the most successful and reputable Filipino brands, and to date, Asia’s number one QSR brand.

Jollibee 1000th Store in Modern Tropical feel.

Jollibee’s 1,000th branch in BGC Triangle Drive has the latest modern tropical design concept that’s expected to appeal to customers of all ages. With a seating capacity of 350 people, and two (2) spacious and beautifully-decorated party areas that give off a hip and refreshing vibe with colorful sets of furniture.




Being the grandest and most anticipated events in Jollibee history, the 1,000th milestone store opening is a month-long celebration packed with exciting activities for loyal Jollibee fans. From the Libreng Sakay around BGC to the grand store reveal and promos on opening day, patrons can look forward to enjoying new experiences in the days to come.


A Thousand Reasons To Be Thankful 

To kick-off the celebration, Jollibee hosted a store blessing ceremony attended by valued business partners, government officials, and other special guests. Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) Chairman Tony Tan Caktiong, JFC Chief Executive Officer Ernesto Tanmantiong, JFC Philippines Country Head Joseph Tanbuntiong, and Chief Global Real Estate Officer William Tan Untiong unveiled the 1,000th store commemorative marker. 


This was followed by the ribbon-cutting ceremony and official store blessing led by Jollibee Philippines President JJ Alano with Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano, Department of Trade and Industry Undersecretary Nora Terrado, Ms. Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, and Jollibee BGC Triangle Drive Restaurant Manager Sharon Morendo.



“Many say that Jollibee is more than just a fastfood company. Yes, it is the home of the famous Chickenjoy and other great-tasting products. But more than that, it has been a part of Filipinos’ lives for generations,” said JJ Alano. “It has become synonymous to joy, family and cherished traditions.”

The store blessing program culminated in Jollibee’s well-loved tradition. 


“Here’s a toast to celebrate Jollibee Philippines’ 1,000th store milestone! May we continue to make Jollibee a source of pride, hope and joy for our fellow Filipinos here and across the globe!” said JFC CEO Ernesto Tanmantiong as he led the Chickenjoy Toast.

As the doors of the 1,000th store finally opened to the public, celebrity guest and Jollibee endorser, Anne Curtis, graced the event arriving in a red car and explore the drive-thru having an artsy wall mural. Then Anne had a cutesy-kilig breakfast with Jollibee and Jollibee Food Corporation Executives.


Jollibee and Anne #BeedaAnneSaya

Also, a Heads-Up for a star-studded surprise awaits unsuspecting customers as more Jollibee endorsers, including James Reid and Nadine Lustre, Bailey and Ylona, Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto, Jasmine Curtis, Jodi Sta. Maria and the Legaspi family are scheduled to visit the Jollibee BGC Triangle Drive branch during the month-long celebration.



Limited edition travel mugs, designed by TeamManila Graphics Design Studio, are also up for grabs, as well as a special Chickenjoy bucket-inspired tissue holder. Jollibee dolls will also be given to the first 1,000 customers for every purchase of a Chickenjoy Bucket, while 10 lucky diners—one for every 100th milestone store—will get a whopping one-year supply of Chickenjoy. Jollibee customers can also enjoy the exciting line-up of promos and giveaways. From July 4 to 6, Grab riders heading to the 1,000th store can get a P100 off on Grab car or Grab share fares by using the promo code “JB1KSTORES”.

“Reaching 1,000 stores is a special milestone especially in an industry as competitive as ours. Jollibee’s growth and success over the years is largely due to the fruitful partnerships we’ve made and nurtured with our franchisees, and the support of the local government units where we operate, as well as our various business partners. These, together with the patronage of our loyal customers, are among the reasons why Jollibee is where it is now—the number one and most loved fast-food chain in the country,” said JJ Alano.   

Prior to the #Jollibee1000Stores milestone celebration, the brand began its journey across the nation to set the stage for this momentous day. From Davao City to Guagua and Mexico in Pampanga, Binangonan in Rizal, Manila’s North Harbor, Bauang in La Union, Mandaue City in Cebu, Boracay Island in Aklan, and Atimonan in Quezon, culminating with the opening of store number 1,000—Jollibee BGC Triangle Drive.
