Air 21 and Rain Or Shine Muses in PBA Opening

Two beauty queens will take center stage to add a dash of glamour to the opening ceremonies of the PBA on September 30.

Mutya ng Pilipinas 2012 Camille Guevara and Miss Earth 2012 Stephany Stefanowitz will be the muses of Rain or Shine and Air 21, respectively.

A native of Pampanga, the 5-foot-7, 19-year-old Guevarra will be the country’s representative for the Miss Intercontinental beauty pageant in Spain in December.

Stefanowitz, a 22-year-old Filipino-German, will represent the Philippines in the Miss Earth contest in Manila in November.
