The Manhunt International Event is a joint partnership with our Australian partner, Procon Leisure International Pty Ltd, headed by Mr. Rosko Dickinson.
     The pageant saw one of its most successful years in November 1995 when 35 contestants came to Sentosa Island, Singapore to compete for the prestigious title. The cash award and prizes for 1995's winner alone exceeded $100,000.00.

Beauty Pageants Questions and Suggested Answers

 (This question was asked by television personality Dean Cain to Kosovo's Marigona Dragusha for Miss Universe 2010)


Q: Justin Timberlake once said "The worst thing about being famous is invading your privacy," but what about being famous that people are craving for?


Suggested Answer: Being famous is what most people desires. The things about fame that most people aspire for is that first, is the advantage and opportunity to push through your plans and platforms by championing your causes, the power to influence other people's lives and last the opportunity to empower the powerless, the less privilege, the unfortunate and the low in self-esteem

Beauty Pageants Questions

         Miss Universe, the most prestigious and glamorous beauty pageant on Earth, has been part already of our culture. It is customarily for us to tune in and watch as more than 80 of the most beautiful woman of the planet vie for one chance, one opportunity of a lifetime for that coveted title as the most beautiful woman of the universe. No matter how difficult to choose among them because they are all equally stunning in one way or the other however there is only one winner to be chosen who could deliver the best. After the intense selection of the semifinalist, cut one after another is taking place on the finals night as they compete for categories such as swimsuit and evening gown and the top finishers will go to the next round. On the final round, the most excruciating and nerve wracking part of the competition as well as the most watched part is answering that final question. The final question sometimes tackle different issues affecting the world but sometimes amuses and surprises not only the finalist delegates who are required to answer but also the spectators who are avid fan or beauty watchers. This is the most desirable way of calibrating and choosing the well fated lady who is destined for the crown and title.
         On the other hand, Miss Earth the second most prestigious and glamorous beauty pageant on Earth has a different approach of unraveling the wisdom, opinions and sensibility of the ladies on different timely global environmental issues affecting our mother Earth today. Each of the top eight ladies shall be seeing images or they will be watching video clips of various environmental issues around the world and after that they will respond or give statements to what they have seen or watched. In this case, people will know how aware and skillful they are in resolving these issues because this is the main factor of an effective ambassador of goodwill for the environment.
         However, sometimes the watchers are not satisfied and happy by the ladies response on the question based on its substance, content, delivery and quality of the message which effectively resonate them. So sometimes after the question has been answered by the ladies or after the pageant itself, some beauty lovers, fans and pundits come up with suggested response, advice and opinions on what had transpired. It has become a fun way of dealing with that part of beauty pageant as some fans and pundits are brainstorming on the final question and the outcome of the pageant. As a pageant lover myself, I have created some of the suggested response to some of the Miss Universe and Miss Earth questions and how should the ladies handle such pressure. I will post later and in the future articles, my responses to some of the questions.

Reality Game Show For Television

     I am conceptualizing two reality competition show and a game show for television network interested to create it and show it worldwide. The two reality show has a slight resemblance to The Amazing Race but with a twist. The game show is inspired by a Filipino board game. I know it’s like a needle in the haystack but still I want to try, gamble and see if television companies will buy it. I offer it to any interested television network willing to pay for the concept and I will be collaborating with the television network on such a show.

The Best Bieber Dancer From Lithuania

     I wonder how brilliant this Lithuanian dad to create such dance choreography is. He is really a dynamic choreographer perfectly fit to train hip hop dance crew in North America and Europe. I want to know if he is hired by Hollywood or Las Vegas because he is really a good sexy dancer and I cannot help and my stomach is bursting in laughter. I am one of the million fans of this happy Lithuanian dancing family.

A Holy Letter

True Love - Forever Love

   Hi! It’s Me – Jesus! Oh, please don’t shut the door in my face! Please don’t turn around and walk away. I just want to talk to you but not about your problems or your sins. I don’t want to preach at you or make you feel guilty. I just want to tell you how much I love you.
    You know, I’m not far away, up in the sky, or in some distant place called Heaven. I’m right by your side, and if you’ll ask me to come into your heart, I can even live inside you there. I know all about you. I even know the things that you try to hide from everyone – including yourself.
     I know your heartaches and the pain that you suffer. I know what you worry about. I know your secret dreams and aspirations. I know what has disappointed you in the past, and I know your fears about the future. I know the times that you are jealous or compare yourself negatively with others. I understand how you can’t always be everything you would like to be, and that sometimes do or say things that you later regret.
    At times you wonder if anybody really understands you or truly cares. You wonder if love exists – true, unchanging, unending love. Sometimes you feel so alone, and existence seems so pointless. You ask yourself, “What am I here for? What am I supposed to do? Why am I alive? Is there a God? And if so, where is He? Who is He?”
     I’ve heard all these questions that are in your heart. I’ve felt your struggle. I understand your uncertainty, your heaviness, and your frustration. I know how disappointed you sometimes feel about yourself, wishing you could do better. But even when you try your best, things just don’t always seem to work out as you hope.
    So you look at life’s monotony and ask yourself, “Is this all there is? Isn’t there something deeper? Some reason, some purpose or goal for my life?”
    My dear friend, the answer to these questions and the satisfaction you are looking for will not be found in the world that you see with your eyes. It can only be found in the world of spirit, where love reigns supreme. God, the great Creator, the King of the Universe, is love. He is the invisible Spirit of Love – and to know, receive and share this love is the purpose for living.
    But it’s not something that you can work for or earn by your own goodness, by keeping the rules and trying so hard. This blessing of love – the greatest treasure anyone could ever receive is a gift. It can only be received by faith. You can’t work for it or prove yourself worthy of it.
God loves you so much that he wanted to make it easy for you to understand Him and His love. He   
wanted to give you a picture, an illustration, an example of His love that would help you to see that he and his love are real. His love is not something that can just read about, discuss or debate but it’s something that you can experience in your life. It is power, it is warmth, and it is light and life! God’s love is all those things.
    Because God is so grand, so magnificent, so all encompassing. He knew it would be difficult for you to understand him and his love, and to understand how you could receive it. So he allowed me, Jesus, to be the illustration of his love for you.
    Now I am the connection between you and God. I am the go-between, the mediator, the staircase to Heaven. Through me you can pass from a life of emptiness or disappointment or turmoil and desperation into a life of peace and plenty and love. It’s all yours for the asking. Even the tiniest desire of your heart is important to me, and nothing gives me more pleasure than to take from the riches of heaven and give you what you need to make you happy.
    I love you with a love that is perfect and without end. I don’t look at your imperfections, mistakes and sins, and then get upset and stop loving you. No, I love you in spite of all of these things! I love you for who you really are, and for what you can be.
    I love you as no one else has ever loved you before, and as no one else will. There is nothing you can do that could cause me to turn my back on you. The only thing that could come between you and my love would be your refusal to receive it, for I cannot force it on you.
Open your heart to me, believe in my love, and we will begin the greatest adventure of your life. We will lead a life of love together – not just here and now, but forever!


                                                        With love forever,


                                                                  Jesus
