November 30. 2025 - Taytay, Rizal, Philippines

Taytay, Rizal turned into a vibrant hub of excitement as the screening of Ginoo at Binibining Taytay brought together beauty icons, industry leaders, and local champions for an unforgettable day of discovery and inspiration.

Front and center was Ms. Ellen Montehermoso Stokes, the empowering founder of Ms. Fabulous Vegas, whose arrival instantly energized the room. Candidates straightened up, eyes widened, and the atmosphere shifted from nervous anticipation to eager enthusiasm. Her presence didn’t just inspire—it sparked curiosity, confidence, and connection.

But the event became even more dynamic with the arrival of two key industry figures:
Mr. Noubikko Ulanday, Owner and CEO of RPConnect, known for his forward-thinking leadership and global reach; and
Capt. Allen Jacinto, MM, MPA, President of Phil-Ace International Management Corporation, a respected figure with a passion for nurturing new talent.

Their participation signaled one thing: something big and meaningful is brewing in Taytay.

Adding heart and hometown pride to the gathering were the municipality’s creative pillars:
Cristina “Chin” Gonzales of the Local Economic Development and Investment Promotion Office (LEDIPO), whose commitment to local industries continues to open opportunities for Taytayeños;
And fashion artist Nhoy Tenerife, of Nhoy Tenerife Couturier, who will be crafting the gowns—already a detail that had candidates buzzing with excitement.

And at the heart of all this momentum is Mayor Allan De Leon, whose support makes events like this not just possible, but full of purpose. His dedication to uplifting Taytay’s youth, culture, and creative spirit gives the community the confidence to dream bigger.

One of the most engaging moments came when Ms. Stokes gathered the candidates and spoke directly to them. Instead of a typical talk, it felt like a genuine conversation—filled with laughter, honest insights, relatable stories, and empowering reminders. Candidates weren’t just listening; they were responding, interacting, soaking in every piece of advice. The room felt alive with shared energy and a sense of “We’re really doing this.”

What made the day truly memorable was the connection—between mentors and candidates, between leaders and the community, between dreams and opportunities. It wasn’t just a screening; it was a spark. A stepping stone. A moment that made everyone excited for what comes next.

With this much enthusiasm and support, Ginoo at Binibining Taytay is shaping up to be a transformative pageant season—one that lifts voices, builds confidence, and celebrates the vibrant spirit of Taytay in the most engaging way possible.
