As one of the country’s premier talent management agencies behind some of the Philippines’ biggest stars, VAA is set to support ALV Talent Circuit in opening bigger opportunities for 10 remarkable women from the pageantry scene who are now ready to make their mark in showbiz and beyond.

Zia Ainhize Arboleda, Nikki Buenafe, Meridith Bobadilla, Beatriz Angela Ocampo, Tracy Maureen Perez, MJ Suarez, Carla Jane Torcido, Erika Marie Davis, Keylyn Pan Trajano, Alyssa Geronimo, and Margarette Briton are all poised to showcase their diverse talents under the management of the two agencies.

Zia Ainhize Arboleda first ventured into modeling before eventually joining the world of pageantry. She was crowned Miss World Philippines Laguna and later competed in Miss Worl Philippines 2026. Aside from modeling and pageantry, Zia is also passionate about singing and visual arts.

Filipino-Iranian beauty queen and host Nikki Buenafe is the reigning Face of Beauty International after winning the competition in Taiwan against 31 other candidates. Before this, she also earned the titles of Limgas na Pangasinan, Miss Multinational Philippines 2024, and Face of Beauty Philippines 2025.

Meanwhile, Meridith Bobadilla of Occidental Mindoro entered pageantry at a young age, winning 1st runner-up at the 2022 Miss Teen International Philippines. She later represented the country at Miss Teen Earth International 2025 in India, where she was hailed as the pageant’s 2nd runner-up.

Beatriz Angela Ocampo gained recognition after being 2nd runner-up in Miss Grand International Philippines 2025. Apart from pageantry, she is also a content creator, dancer, and advocate for tourism development.

Miss World Philippines 2021 Tracy Maureen Perez joins the roster after making the Philippines proud with her Top 12 finish at the 70th Miss World competition in Puerto Rico.
