About the
Quests
The
Miss & Mrs
Philippine Fiesta Victoria and Miss & Mrs Philippine Fiesta
Victoria Charity Quests have been exciting
events for the Philippine Fiesta since their inceptions in 1985. They
do not only give glitter and glamour to the Fiesta but also one of the
instruments in paying the Philippine Community House and its current
maintenance. Through hard work and dedication of the past and present
candidates they are able to raised the much needed fund for its upkeep.
Apart from
the essential financial support they give to the community, the quests
have developed good communication skills, boast their artistic talents
and body image; and most importantly the bonding or 'buklod' they have
cultivated during the course of the quest.
Most candidates
have attested to this. They have developed life-long friendship, great
respect and learned from one another. The hectic and challenging activities
offered by the quests give them an opportunity to know one another,
have fun and value themselves as individuals who can still hug the limelight
especially during the Coronation Night.
Kudos to
all of the dedicated committee members of the Quests for their dedicated service
and efforts in running the quests and of course to the countless candidates
and winners of this glamorous and rewarding competition. Mabuhay kayong
lahat!!!

Looking Back ...
In
the Philippines, fiesta is not complete without the traditional
beauty contest. The presence of local beauties adds to the
excitement, glamour and pomp to the festive occasion.
Since its foundation 25 years ago, the Philippine Fiesta of
Victoria has brought this alluring tradition to
Filipino-Australian community.
The first Miss Philippine Victoria Quest was held in 1982 with
Miss Dedeth Guinto as the winner. In 1985, Mrs Dolly Prack was
proclaimed the first Mrs Philippines.
Miss Grace Street was crowned as Miss Philippines Victoria and at
the same time won the title of Miss Charity in 1984.
In 1993, the first Mrs Charity Fiesta Victoria was won by Mrs
Sonia Santos-Goring.
Over the years, the Miss and Mrs Philippine Fiesta Beauty and
Charity Quests have been gracing our annual fiesta celebration in
Victoria and in the process have provided lots of benefits to the
candidates and to the Philippine Fiesta.
The Quests have forged friendship and camaraderie among the
candidates and have given the participants a profound
understanding of Filipino culture, values and traditions.
For other candidates, the Quests become the venue in developing
their charm, poise and self-confidence.
And most importantly, the Quests have largely assisted in meeting
the Association’s financial responsibilities.
The Philippine Fiesta of Victoria and the Filipino-Australian
Community salute the previous and current candidates and winners
of the Quests; the chairpersons and their staff; families and
friends; sponsors and advertisers and to all people who make the
these events a success.
Maraming-maraming salamat po sa inyong malugod na pagtaguyod!
