Miss World Philippines 2021 is going to be an exciting and interesting pageant for Boholano pageant fans after a Boholana made it as one of the 45 official candidates.

Atty. Mara Louise A. Ruiz, J. D. is not your typical beauty queen. She finished her law studies with 2nd honors at the Ateneo de Manila, June 2018. She took and passed the November 2018 bar exams.
After the outstanding performance of Bohol's Glyssa Perez that gave her the Miss Philippines Tourism crown and the Beauty with a Purpose award during the 2019 edition, expect another sterling performance from this beauty & brains from Bohol.

Among this year's batch of candidates are pageant veterans like Dindi Pajares, Kathleen Paton & Ganiel Krishnan. MUP 2020 alumnae Tracy Maureen Perez and Riana Agatha Pangindian are also in. Interestingly, Shaila Rebortera, DDM who was EB's Miss Millennial 2018 and Miss Bohol 2013 1st RU is also one of the candidates.
It took MWP almost four months to screen and deliberate on the list of official candidates who were whittled down from more than 300 applicants.
Congratulations once again and good luck to Atty. Mara Ruiz on her first foray in pageantry. Cheers!
