Beauty pageant both male and female is a very popular event in the Philippines even more popular sometimes than sports. The Philippines excels far more better in beauty contests than in sports because its obvious that there's so many pretty men and women in the country thus we can conclude that Filipinos are beautiful people. Beauty contests is so massive and widespread in the country from all corners of the islands that countless of women who aspires to be a beauty queen joins from the smallest local barangay or community pageants to the biggest national pageants such as Binibining Pilipinas, Miss Philippines World, Miss Philippines Earth, Mutya Ng Pilipinas among others. One of the reasons why women or even men join beauty contests is because it is their avenue to greater opportunities that may come their way in the future after a good performance in beauty contests or if organizers or other talent scouts or producers see potentials in them they can even be a model, actors, endorsers and many other opportunities in the entertainment industry. They also want to be a good role model and inspire a lot of people from their lifestyle, the way they act, speak and think and their back stories to their advocacy and other worthwhile projects. Events such as this is a good platform to realize advocacy, charities, dreams and other projects so it is a beautiful idea to organize and create beauty contests for its impact, effect and the good outcome or things it brings.
The biggest national beauty pageants in the country like Binibining Pilipinas, Miss World Philippines, Miss Earth Philippines, Mutya Ng Pilipinas not only produces spectacular winners and contestants who excelled in different fields beyond beauty pageants but also started and yields a lot of worthwhile causes and projects that benefits a lot of people, the community, the environment and the nation and its global impact.
