Unusual Contestant in Beauty Pageant Went Viral Online
CONFIDENCE IS THE NEW SEXY – A male netizen went viral after sharing photos of an unusual contestant in a beauty pageant.
Recently, Thom Favila, a Facebook user, shared photos of an unconventional contestant who took the stage during a screening for a beauty pageant. The post garnered variious reactions from the online community.
The recent beauty pageant screening for Baywalk Bodies 2025 held in Puerto Princesa gains online attention after a participant stood out, not for fitting the traditional beauty standards, but for her self-confidence.
Favila, who has been in the pageant industry for over 20 years, expressed his support for the contestant. He emphasized that confidence plays a bigger role in beauty competitions than just having the “ideal” body type.
According to him, many women with slim and curvaceous figures struggle with self-esteem, while this contestant owned her presence without hesitation.
The Baywalk Bodies pageant is known for its focus on “beach-ready” bodies, but society’s views on beauty are evolving. The contestant’s participation has sparked discussions about body inclusivity and the definition of what is considered “sexy.”
While some believe that physical appearance should remain a primary factor, others argue that confidence and self-acceptance should also be celebrated.
Whether she advances in the competition or not, this contestant has already made an impact. She has reminded everyone that beauty comes in different shapes and sizes and that true confidence is something worth applauding.

“SOBRANG HIRAP MAG BUILD UP NG SELF CONFIDENCE Samut sari ang naging reaksyon ng mga tao tungkol sa pagpapascreen ni Ate Girl sa Baywalk Bodies 2025. May mga natuwa at may mga natawa, ako personaly ay napabilib nya. Mahigit 20 years na ako sa pageant industry at ang dami ko ng naencounter na mga babaeng slim at curvaceous and yet di sila confident sa katawan nila. Para kasi sa akin ang word na “SEXY” ay indefinite dahil magkakaiba iba tayo ng definition sa salitang sexy, sa iba maaring ito ay slim, curvaceous or sa iba naman voluptuous. Ang pinakaimportante para sa akin ay confident si Ate Girl sa katawan at sa sarili nya at nagtry sya regardless kung pumasa man sya sa standards ng iba o hindi. Yung iba maaaring pinagtatawanan sya, ang tanong ko lang kaya mo bang tapatan ang confidence level nya? Sana kung wala tayong maicomment na maganda ay wag naman nating basagin ang self confidence na meron sya.”
