Miss Philippines Nicole Cassandra Schmitz is currently making waves in the Miss International 2012 pageant, the 52nd edition in Okinawa, Japan.
Vying with 66 other candidates for the prestigious title, Nicole is currently considered a front-runner together with other powerhouse countries in the pageant like Venezuela, Colombia, United Kingdom, India and Brazil.
Nicole is somewhat packaged to be an all-Filipino doll, with luscious black hair, the Gloria Diaz-like forehead, and that warm smile. Philippines has actually perfected a successful formula in Miss International, being the second most successful country after Venezuela, winning four crowns. And Nicole is following that formula.
Mestiza Filipina girls are actually adored in Miss International, as much as exotic Pinays are shoo-in for Miss Universe.
