November 30. 2025 - Taytay, Rizal, Philippines

Taytay, Rizal wasn’t just buzzing—it was electrified. The kind of energy that tells you something extraordinary is about to unfold. And it did! The town transformed into a glittering hotspot of excitement as Ms. Ellen Montehermoso Stokes, the vibrant, fearless, and trailblazing founder of Ms. Fabulous Vegas, made her much-anticipated arrival. Her presence alone turned heads and lifted the atmosphere, setting the perfect stage for the highly awaited screening of Ginoo at Binibining Taytay, masterfully organized and brought to life by The Series Group, the powerhouse production management team behind the event’s flawless execution. 

The moment Ms. Stokes stepped in, the atmosphere shifted. Candidates straightened up, smiles lit up, and everyone suddenly felt a little more fabulous. Her warm presence, paired with her signature confidence, instantly put the aspiring candidates at ease.

But this wasn’t just any visit—it turned into a gathering of movers, shakers, and creators.

Arriving alongside Ms. Stokes were two equally influential personalities:
Mr. Noubikko Ulanday, the enterprising Owner and CEO of RPConnect, whose global projects and sharp leadership made everyone curious and starstruck; and
Capt. Allen Jacinto, MM, MPA, President of Phil-Ace International Management Corporation, a man known for his strong leadership and passion for people empowerment.

The trio’s presence in Taytay created an interesting blend—international flair meeting local talent in one exciting cultural moment.

On the local front, the municipality’s creative champions also stepped into the spotlight.
Cristina “Chin” Gonzales of the Local Economic Development and Investment Promotion Office (LEDIPO) proudly represented Taytay’s continuous efforts to uplift local artists and industries.
Nhoy Tenerife, of Nhoy Tenerife Couturier, brought sparks of fashion magic as he revealed his role as the official gown provider—a detail that immediately excited the candidates. After all, who wouldn’t be thrilled to walk the stage in a designer creation?

And at the heart of it all, providing support that keeps these events alive and thriving, was Mayor Allan De Leon. Known for championing programs that empower the youth and celebrate local culture, his encouragement set the tone for a community that stands behind its dreams.

Yet the most unforgettable moment unfolded when Ms. Stokes personally addressed the candidates. Instead of simply offering advice, she connected with them—sharing anecdotes, empowering insights, and genuine words that made them feel seen, capable, and excited for what lies ahead. It wasn’t just a pageant pep talk; it was a confidence-building experience that the candidates will remember for a lifetime.

The event became more than a screening—it turned into a celebration of potential. A fusion of creativity, leadership, mentorship, and heart. A reminder that great things happen when communities and visionaries come together for a shared purpose.

With this level of passion, support, and excitement, Ginoo at Binibining Taytay is shaping up to be a pageant season filled with unforgettable stories, remarkable transformations, and shining Taytayeño talent.
