GREETINGS

BEFORE TURNING THE SPOTLIGHTS ON, IT IS INTERESTING TO

KNOW HOW BEAUTY CONTESTS LIKE THIS ORIGINATED. LET US
SEE WHAT LITERATURE SAYS.
IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY, PARIS, A PRINCE OF TROY WAS ONCE
ASKED TO JUDGE WHO AMONG THE THREE (3) OLYMPIAN
GODDESSES HERA, ATHENA, AND APHRODITE POSSESSES THE
ULTIMATE CHARM AND MOST ALLURING BEAUTY. EACH OF THE
THREE GODDESSES WIELDED ALL HER MIGHT TO CONVINCE
THE YOUNG PRINCE SHE MUST BE ADJUDGED THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL ONE. AFTER THEIR VALUABLE EFFORTS, PRINCE
PARIS FINALLY DECIDED THAT APHRODITE IS THE ONE WORTHY
OF THE TITLE. THUS, IN LITERATURE, APHRODITE IS CLAIMED
THE GODDESS OF WISDOM AND BEAUTY.
TONIGHT WE STAND ON THE SAME GROUND WHERE PRINCE
PARIS STOOD. WE ARE GATHERED HERE TO WITNESS THE
BEAUTY AND PROWESS OF THE TWELVE (12) GORGEOUS
CANDIDATES OF THIS YEARS SEARCH FOR THE MUTYA NG
TUMAUINI. IN FEW MOMENTS, EACH OF THE CANDIDATES WILL
EXHIBIT HER MERITS AS THE OLYMPIAN GODDESSES DID. WHO
AMONG THESE CONTENDERS WILL WIN THE CROWN? WHO
WILL BE ADJUDGED AS TONIGHTS APHRODITE?

TO THE CANDIDATES, BE REMINDED THAT THERE IS MORE

BEYOND THE CROWN THAT YOU ARE ASPIRING FOR. YOU MUST
BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A SHOW OF YOUR
CHISELED BODIES. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO BE AN EPITOME OF
A WOMAN WHO IS WORTHY OF EMULATION. TO WIN THE
CROWN IS ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING THAT YOU ARENT JUST
THE MOST ATTRACTIVE AND SKILLED ONE BUT ALSO A MODEL
OF YOUR FELLOW. SUCH EXPECTATION IS TRUE TO EACH OF
YOU.
THIS OCCASION SOMEHOW MAKES ME FEEL HEARTRENDING
FOR NOT ALL OF YOU WILL HAVE THE CROWN. NEVERTHELESS,
BEING A CANDIDATE IS ALREADY A PROOF THAT YOU ARE FIT
FOR IT. HOWEVER THOUGH, THERE IS ONLY ONE CROWN OUT
THERE.
IN ADVANCE, I WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE EACH OF YOU.
STANDING BEFORE THE CROWD IS NOT AS EASY AS ONE MAY
THINK. TOUGH AS IT IS, YOU STILL POSSES THAT BRAVERY TO
STAND TALL AND BEAUTIFUL.
NOT TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME FOR THE SUSPENSE, I NOW
END UP THIS TALK WITH A REITERATION OF MY DEEPEST
THANKS AND GRATITUDE TO THE PEOPLE OF TUMAUINI
SPECIALLY THE HONORABLE MAYOR, WHO WAS NAMED AFTER
THE

ROMAN

GODDESS

OF

BEAUTY

HON

VENUS

BAUTISTA FOR THE WARM ACCOMMODATION.

THANK YOU.
