Our very own talented Jonathan Paguia joined the Ever Bilena’s Gandang Pinay Bride Bridal Make up Contest at the Kasalang Filipino 2012 in Ayala Abreeza Mall Activity Center, Davao City last July 13, 2012. This event was the first competition he joined and he really made so much preparation to win this event. The mechanics was open to all professional and amateur hair and make-up artists. Jong brought with him Ms. Daren Tormis, a female model to work with. It was obvious in the mechanics; she has to be a FEMALE gender model.

Daren is obviously a pretty model, and the make-up presentation of Jong made her beauty show up and exceeds the rest of the other models in the competition plus she’s wearing a very beautiful bridal gown courtesy of David n Rachel Bridal Gowns.

 Jong work his magic to Daren for an hour to do the make up since her hair style are already done earlier before the contest.

Finally, the time has come to announced the winners, and Jong got the consolation prize  with P5,000 worth of Ever Bilena products with 1 year Gold Priority Listing Advertising in Kasal.com worth P5,000 and Trophy.

But the most frustrating part when the 1^st prize was won by another contestant with a “gender exchange GAY”model.
