Gwendolyn Ruais Placed Second on Miss World 2011

Miss Philippines, Gwendolyn Ruais, placed second in the recently concluded Miss World 2011 held at London, United Kingdom. Gwendolyn Ruais attains the best Miss World finish for the Philippines since Evangeline Pascual who also won first runner-up in Miss World 1973. Miss Venezuela, Ivian Sarcos, bagged the crown this year.



"Ruais will definitely make it to the finals", predicted the fans and critics of the show prior the coronation night. That was proven right when Gwendolyn made it to the finals of three Fast Track competitions this year – Beauty with a Purpose, Top Model and Beach Beauty. Although she failed to win any of these preliminary competitions, her overall score in Miss World 2011 was one of the highest as a result of her strong finishes. When the final scores were revealed at the announcement of the TOP 15 semi-finalists, Gwendolyn Ruais was #3!

It was a proud moment for the Philippines especially since all of our candidates in the other international beauty pageants finished well. Shamcey Supsup was fourth in Miss Universe 2011, and earlier tonight, Dianne Necio was a semifinalist in Miss International 2011.

In other news, Cory Quirino is the new franchise holder of the Miss World in the Philippines.

For those who missed the live stream coverage tonight, Miss World 2011 will be shown on GMA 7 this morning at 10 AM.
