Mutya ng Pilipinas 2010 winners crowned | Carla Lizardo, Barbie Salvador & Ashley McGarry

The Mutya Ng Pilipinas 2010 Coronation was held last night, August 28, 2010 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila, Pasay City, Philippines.

And I super loved their winners!

Two Bicolana beauties walked away with the major titles and they were: Ashley McGarry (2nd from right) as Mutya ng Pilipinas - Asia Pacific 2010 and Carla Lizardo (2nd from left) as Mutya ng Pilipinas - Intercontinental 2010. (But Ashley McGarry represented East Coast-USA).

The other major title, Mutya ng Pilipinas - Tourism International 2010 went to Pangasinan's Barbie Salvador (center), another stunning beauty who was a Binibining Pilipinas 2009 Top 10 semifinalist.

All three of them will soon compete in international pageants: Ashley in Miss Asia Pacific International (meron ba this year?), Carla in Miss Tourism Intercontinental 2011 and Barbie in Miss Tourism International 2011.

Even the runners up were great choices, one of which will represent the Philippines in Top Model of the World 2011. (In the 2010 Top Model of the World, Ashley was a Top 15 Semi-Finalist).

Among the judges last night were Derek Ramsay, Angel Aquino, Rajo Laurel, Robby Carmona and Mikaela Lagdameo-Martinez while the performers were The Philippine All-Stars and O.N.E. It was hosted by Phoemela Barranda, RJ Ledesma and Sarah Meier.

It was a commendable job from the organizers. Indeed, new organizers means new prestige for Mutya ng Pilipinas!

Mutya ng Pilipinas 2010 candidates | Ashley McGarry, an early favorite

Twenty-four (24) candidates will compete for the Mutya Ng Pilipinas
2010 title on August 28 at the Resorts World Manila.

The candidate from East Coast USA (picture) is an early frontrunner, a big favorite for the title especially because of her impressive pageant portfolio.

competition held last February in Germany. She placed there as a Top 15 semi-finalist.

Ashley was also Miss Teen Philippines-USA 2004 and a Teen Ambassadress to the Philippines in 2006.

And before Charice Pempengco graces the cover of Seventeen Magazine in the US this August, Ashley already did it on the mag's August 2007 issue.

An article by Ricky Lo says she is the daughter of Christopher McGarry, a former PBA Player for Magnolia.

Guzman (Miss Bikini World Philippines 2009, Miss Fitrum 2008 1st Runner Up), Barbara "Barbie" Salvador (Binibining Pilipinas '09 Top 10 finalist), Shihan Go (Mossimo Bikini Summit '09 finalist) and Rochelle
