The first ever Bride of the World pageant was held in Singapore on December 9th. Winner is Luisa Beltran of Philippines. Runner-ups came from Bolivia, Ukraine, Russia, and Peru. The semi-finalists were Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Denmark, Korea, Germany, Moldova, Estonia, Lithuania, Malta and Romania.

Bruno Kettels, Mister International 2009, tried to help as an interpreter for the Spanish speaking candidates, however, he could nor understand the questions in English, or properly translate their answers! Miss Philippines, the only finalist who spoke English, became the eventual winner. It’s important to point out that the Filipino beauty did not win only because of the her interview. Her beauty and elegance impressed everyone throughout the competition.
