Astrid de Vera, 22 years old, is the lady to represent the country.

She is a graduate of the University of the Philippines in Cebu with the course Mass Communications.

The country’s delegate confessed that she was just handpicked by her hometown to join Mutya ng Pilipinas and only had a week to prepare.

“Talk about being an instant beauty queen. I had a simple life before entering the world of pageantry. I worked in marketing for a real estate and leasing company and did ramp modeling on my free days,” she added.

She is currently working as a marketing executive in a real estate company and has been doing modeling job on the side for six years under Models Association of Cebu.
