As it reaches its 10th milestone, Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Philippines (MMCP) is ushering a new era under its new president, Vanessa Agbayani-Lo, who carries forward the legacy of her father, Mr. Wilson Ngo-Agbayani, founder and chairman of MMCP. Like a phoenix, she will herald a new optimism and dynamism for the organization.
Founded to unite and connect the Filipino and Chinese communities, the Miss Chinatown Foundation Philippines celebrates their shared values and traditions. It aims to empower the younger generation to become leaders and promote harmony between the two cultures, working towards a unified and thriving community.
The Foundation will keep working to inspire and make a difference not just within their community but with the younger generations who holds the future. Together, they will honor the legacy of the past, seize the opportunities of today, and move forward confidently into a better tomorrow. As mentors and role models, they will guide the youth with wisdom and compassion, empowering them to dream big and achieve even greater heights.
This year's event promises to be a spectacular celebration of heritage, unity, and sophistication. Participants from across the nation will showcase their talents, intelligence, and cultural knowledge, vying not only for the prestigious titles but also for the opportunity to serve as ambassadors of goodwill and cultural exchange.
The MMCP candidates will come from San Juan, Manila, Las Pinas, Binondo Manila, Quezon City, Antipolo, Ongpin Binondo, Dasmarinas, Valenzuela, Baguio Benguet, Makati City, and Pasay City. Each contestant, with their unique blend of cultural pride and modern sophistication, serves as a beacon of inspiration for future generations. The coronation night is on November 10, 2024 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, Newport World Resorts, Pasay City.
The Foundation looks forward to the next chapter of Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Philippines—a chapter that will undoubtedly be Rooted in Culture, Elevated by Elegance. As it prepares for yet another memorable pageant, it invites everyone to join in this grand celebration, to witness the crowning of the next Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Philippines, and to be part of a legacy that continues to inspire and uplift the community.
