The presence of esteemed writer Felicidad Sta. Maria, philanthropists Bert and Nonie Basilio, Dr. Uriel Halum, and Tess Alba added to the significance of the evening.

Meanwhile, Global Icon Foundation President Camille Agbayani is basking in the glory of a major milestone. Her 2024 Miss Mutya-California/Face of L'aura Wellness candidate, Alyssa Redondo, made history by becoming the first overseas candidate to win the Mutya ng Pilipinas Intercontinental title in the recently concluded 2024 pageant. This momentous achievement has sent shockwaves around the globe, with the international community taking notice of Alyssa's remarkable feat.

Alyssa, a previous titleholder during the 2019 California Pageant, was unable to compete in 2020 due to the lockdown. However, Camille handpicked her to represent California this year, and the decision proved to be the right one. Alyssa's victory was not limited to the top title alone, as she also won Best in Gown, Best in Swimsuit, and the Miss Luxe-skin titles, a rare accomplishment in the world of pageantry.

Congratulations are in order for Camille and the new Mutya ng Pilipinas Intercontinental Queen, Alyssa Redondo. As Alyssa prepares to represent the Philippines in the international pageant to be held in Egypt on December 6 this year, the nation holds its breath in anticipation of another victory. The stakes are high, but with her talent, beauty, and determination, Alyssa is ready to take on the challenge and make the Philippines proud. Happy birthday, Queen Alyssa, and good luck on your journey to the top!
