It was a busy weekend for the Miss World 2010 candidates. They had photoshoots for a Chinese fashion designer, filmed for the Miss World official website and rehearsed for a presentation in Ordos, Mongolia. But despite the busy-ness, they were given time to tour Beijing and even went shopping.

beautiful!"

Miss Philippines Czarina Gatbonton happily shared to her trainer and handler John dela Vega that Miss World Organization President Julia
Morley has described her as beautiful.

Morley said to Czarina, "You're so beautiful, what country are you
representing?" Czarina replied, "I'm from the Philippines Madamme."

The compliment is making Miss Philippines inspired. "Tito John, grabe
ang self-confidence ko ngayon, hindi ako nahihiya at all,
ganadong-ganado ako at excited at na-meet ko na si Julia Morley - I'm
beautiful daw!" (Tito John, I have so much self-confidence. I'm not
ashamed at all. I feel so inspired and excited. I finally met Julia
Morley and she said I'm beautiful!)

John dela Vega, who's keeping in touch with Czarina, also shared that
Czarina gave Morley a pearl necklace a day after they first met. Some media men and MWO staff reportedly have mistaken Miss Philippines as
Miss India.
