Featured Model: Ivana Kamil Pacis

An 18-year-old college student and fashion model bested 28 other candidates and bagged the Miss Makati 2014 crown in the pageant's coronation night held last Thursday at the Makati Coliseum.

Ivana Kamil Pacis, a resident of Barangay Pembo and Broadcast Communications major at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, won P250,000 as cash prize and an additional P10,000 from the city government for being adjudged Best in Swimsuit during the pageant. Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay said like her predecessors, including Miss Makati 2013 Nicole Marable of Barangay East Rembo, Miss Makati 2014 will serve as the city's ambassador of goodwill who will symbolize women empowerment and represent her people to the local and international communities, helping to fire up investor confidence in the country's financial capital. Pacis is also a model under Art Personas Management. She has walked the runways of Philippine Fashion week last 2013 and 2014, modelling clothes for the country's emerging designers like Jian Lasala.
