Mutya Datul Miss Supranational 2013 Grand Winner Salagubang Signature Walk

Her signature “salagubang walk” probably did the trick as Filipina bet Mutya Johanna Datul was hailed Miss Supranational at the coronation night held in Belarus’ Sports Palace on September 6 (9pm Minsk time and 2am Manila time).

The 21-year-old beauty from Isabela is the first Asian to win in the fifth edition of the pageant, touted as the fifth biggest beauty contest in the world after Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International and Miss Earth. She’s taking home the crown, sash and USD 25,000.

Mutya bested 83 other candidates in the pageant held at the chilly country in Eastern Europe. Before she left for Minsk mid-August, the reigning queen explained that her signature walk is inspired by her native salagubang back in the province.
