Fourteen lovely candidates vied for this year's Miss Aviation title and the finalists include Maria Gianne Beatrice Itaralde, Catherine Cubinar, Katrine Gabriola, Cherry Rose Fernandez, Zandra Magsino, Katelene Joy Basco, Maricris Aldanese, Carina Aguinaldo, Airish Mae Apostol, Justine Anne Embate, Casey Ann Austria, Kristine Malicsi, Trizia Abaya, and Reichelieu Emory Santos.
Asia's longest-running sports aviation event, the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta (PIHABF), has been supporting Miss Aviation since its launch last year, 2015.
"We are honored to be part of Miss Aviation Philippines. We believe in its commitment to empower women in the field of aviation and aeronautics. We hope that the competition will help Filipinos better appreciate the aviation industry and understand its important role in fostering the country's social and economic development," says PIHABF event director Capt. Joy Roa.
The candidates come from diverse aviation careers, including flight attendants, student pilots, air frame and avionics technicians, and students taking up degrees in aviation, tourism and related fields.
"We are excited to present another batch of beautiful and smart women in Philippine aviation and tourism sectors this year. Aside from encouraging young people to pursue careers in aviation and tourism, this competition is also a great way to recognize the women's immense role in the industry. Women in aviation are not merely defined by good looks, they also have the brain and heart to succeed and shape the future of aviation and aeronautics," says pageant director Morena Carla Cabrera Quimpo.
This year's Miss Aviation winners are: Trizia Abaya (2nd place), Reichelieu Emory Santos (1st place), and Kristine Malicsi (Miss Aviation 2016).
