Half-Pinay half-German is Miss Limburg-Belgium
Written by Ms. Confuse on Thursday, July 31, 2008
Latin beauties may have dominated this year’s Miss Universe beauty pageant but in Belgium, it’s heartening to know that the beauty of a Filipina has taken the local pageant by storm.
In fact, half-Pinay, half-German, Princess Uhrig is one of the early favorites of the twenty finalists vying for Miss Limburg-Belgium beauty contest which will be held in September.
18-year-old Princess who stands 5 feet 7 inches, has already captured the eyes of the pageant’s official photographers. Apart from having a whistle-bait figure (37-27-37), she possesses an exotic beauty which is a far cry from the usual beauty of European women. Though Uhrig has been featured several times in the local newspaper for her unique beauty, this “kayumanggi” lass says she is more than proud of her multi-cultural background.
“My advantage of being half-Filipino, half-German is having an exotic beauty which I think is not common with other people. But for me, it’s my multi-cultural values which set me apart because these make me a better and stronger person”, she said in an interview with ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau. Princess’ mom, Asuncion Besana-Uhrig, hails from Negros Oriental while her dad is German. Despite being born and raised in Belgium, Princess points out she’s incomparable with other European teenagers.
“My parents, especially my mother taught me the Filipino values and culture such as being respectful, hospitable and helpful which I apply in my daily life, in school and with my friends”, she said. For her, winning the contest is not “the name of the game”. Bringing pride to fellow Filipinos is what matters most to her. “To my Filipino kababayan, I will try to do my best to win this contest and I hope I can give pride to my country “, she said.
For those in Belgium who would like to support Princess Uhrig, text ML 07 and send to 3378.Raquel Bernal-Crisostomo
