Filipinos warmly welcome the newly crowned Reina Hispanoamericana 2017 Teresita Ssen Winwyn Marquez as she is back in the Philippines. Wyn was accompanied by Miss World Philippines Chairman and Philippine National Director of Reina Hispanoamericana Arnold Vegafria.
Arnold will be sitting as one of the board of judges for the 67th Miss World Pageant scheduled for November 18, 2017, in Sanya, China. He has confirmed the news in an interview with the press.
If Mr. Vegafria proceeds to sit as a judge in Miss World, he will be the first Filipino to do so in the annual beauty spectacle that was inaugurated in the United Kingdom in 1951. Congratulations Sir Arnold!
