It was a night when dreams came true.
For the eight finalists of the STAR Dream Girl 2004, last Tuesday night was a night to shine, to stand out, to bask in the limelight.
And when it was all over, La Salle Behavioral Science student Margarita Loren "Marga" Melo’s dream was fulfilled when she won the title.
Marga triumphed over seven other finalists during the finals night held at the Manila Pavilion Hotel. She also won the special Miss Gold’s Gym Award. First runner-up was Ateneo de Manila AB Communication Arts co-ed Pamela Sue Estrella. Ateneo Economics student Hazel Tañedo was second runner-up and also won the special Miss Plains & Prints Award.
The five other finalists were Mass Communications student Ezra Micah Lancero, who won the Texters’ Choice Award for having garnered the most votes from STAR readers in the poll text that determined the eight finalists; Miriam College Communication Arts graduate Ma. Isabel Platon; DLSU-St. Benilde BSBA Computer Applications student Katherine Marie Tan; St. Paul BS Commerce-Management graduate Olivia Caling; and UST Fine Arts student Xialeemer Valdeavilla.
The board of judges was led by philstar.com CEO Kevin Belmonte. The other judges were actress and Allure columnist Jacquilou Blanco, Gold’s Gym president Jim Campbell, Manila Pavilion Hotel resident manager Bernardo Corpus, Plains & Prints general manager Roxanne Farillas, former STAR Face of the Year and medical student Anna Palabyab, and beauty maven and fashion stylist Chechel Joson.
Allure editor Joanne Rae Ramirez delivered a rousing welcome speech to open the show hosted by fashion photographer and engineer Victor Consunji and co-anchored by former STAR Face of the Year runner-up Alex Ortigas and Allure assistant editor Ann Montemar-Oriondo. Fast-rising singer Jed Maddela regaled the audience with four songs. Arnold Galang directed the fast-paced and exciting show.
The first-ever STAR Dream Girl 2004 was presented by The Philippine STAR and the STAR’s Allure section in cooperation with Gold’s Gym, the Manila Pavilion Hotel, Konica Film and Lancome. It was also brought by Gift Gate, Plains & Prints, Oxydo, philstar.com, Youngstar and MTV Ink magazines, and supported by Maramaru Flower Shop, Vivere, the official partner salon, Figlia shoes and photographer Willy Saw.
