What happens when you bring 5 beauty pageant hopefuls to live in a mansion for 6 weeks with 2 over-the-top coaches and a team of fashion and media specialists? The People’s Queen, the glamorous new reality show that is taking the pageant world by storm, becomes available globally starting October.
The People’s Queen is being called a cross between Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and America’s Next Top Model. The show follows Cecilio Asuncion and Voltaire Tayag as they challenge five of the top Filipino pageant hopefuls in their quests for international titles.
Cecilio and Voltaire are not simply shaping the perfect beauty queen; they’re creating The People’s Queen.
“The pageant community is looking to redefine its role in an era of female empowerment and gender equality,” Asuncion explains. His history with the pageant system extends to before he was even born. His grandmother was Miss Manila. Today, Asuncion is the Director of Slay Model Management, the world’s first all-Transgender model agency and National Director of Miss Supranational USA. He judged the Miss Universe 2017 pageant in Las Vegas and hosted this year’s Miss Teen USA pageant in Shreveport, Louisiana.
“The secret to success in every pageant is recognizing the queen in every female,” says Rodriguez
