Dentist Wins Mrs. Philippines-Globe 2016 Crown

Joining a pageant is never an easy thing to do. It takes courage, discipline and confidence. This is the first time that I watched a live pageant and I admire the contestants for their passion and determination. When I was in my college level, I remember being asked to join a popular beauty pageant. I really want to, however I didn't have the courage to join. Now, seeing these beautiful women made me realize that whatever it is that you aspire, then go for it!

Fritzie Lexdy Noche, a 36-year old mother and dentist from Batangas, was crowned as the new Mrs. Philippines-Globe 2016. A second-time contestent of the pageant, she bested 17 other contestants who were also vying for the much coveted crown.

Personifying beauty and substance, Fritzie Lexdy Noche is also a civic leader and former president of the Philippine Dental Association -- Batangas Chapter in 2007-2008. She obtained her degree in Dental Medicine at the Centro Escolar University and took up Masters in Orthodontics Temporomandibular Dysfunction and Orthopedics at the Roman Dental School.

During the coronation night held at the Samsung Hall, SM Aura, Taguig City, Noche and the other candidates proved to themselves, as well as to all the guests, that being married or having children should not hinder them from reaching their full potential. 

"My second try at Mrs. Philippines Globe has allowed me to discover more about myself and improve my persona as a wife, mother, and friend to all," said Fritzie. "I will bring everything I learned in this journey as I represent my country for Mrs. Globe 2016."
