Pageant Oddities

Was this pageant oddity just a coincidence ... or was it written in the stars? Or was this person a LUCKY CHARM to the Philippines? 

We are referring to Akisha Albert - a beauty queen from Curacao. A lucky charm is said to be something or someone that is thought to bring good luck and good fortune.

Consider these facts to prove our point. When she joined Miss Earth 2014, Jamie Herrell of the Philippines won.  When she joined Miss Hispano Americana 2017, she was first runner-up to Philippines Teresita Marquez who was declared the winner. And get this ... when she ventured into Miss Universe 2018, she was included in the Top Ten when Catriona Gray won the fourth Miss Universe crown for the Philippines.

If she was born February 8, 1995, she was 19 when she joined Miss Earth 2014, 22 at Miss Reina HispanoAmericana 2017, and 23 at Miss Universe 2018.

The latest we heard from the grapevine, the Curacaoan beauty was appointed Miss Grand Curacao 2024 at 29.

If she is indeed a lucky charm to the Philippines ... and if it is written in the stars ...will this be the golden opportunity for the Philippines to win the elusive Miss Grand International crown? Hope springs eternal - it is human nature always ... to find fresh cause for optimism.
