Bohol's Pauline Amelincx for Mutya ng Pilipinas 2018

Boholano pageant watchers should be following this year’s Mutya ng Pilipinas pre- pageant events and all the way to the grand coronation night on September 16 at the MOA Arena with keen interest for two reasons; 
Mutya # 24: Pauline Amelincx
First, the prestigious nationwide pageant is celebrating its golden anniversary and to mark the occasion, 50 lovely Filipinas from all over the Philippines and from overseas communities will be pitting pulchritude, poise & personality for the top Mutya ng Pilipinas crowns.

Secondly, Bohol is represented by a well- loved and a social media darling, Pauline Cucharo Amelincx.  The 5’ 9” half Filipina & half Belgian stunner from Tubigon who was crowned Miss Bohol 2017 is one of the strongest and among the most prepared Boholana beauties that we have sent to a national pageant.  
Gorgeous. Glamorous. Golden Girl
Aside from possessing a beautiful face, she is tall, has a winsome smile, a commanding presence, facility with English and most importantly, in today’s internet age, has a huge social media following.
Behold Bohol’s Beauty
According to Mikee Andrei, Boholano style maven & resident stylist of Aces & Queens, Pauline flew straight to Manila right after she passed on her crown as Miss Bohol 2017 to focus on training - makeup, hairstyling, personality development, walking and posture, styling and Q&A, with Aces and Queens.
