POLICE Officer 2 Ruby Anzenie Rojas-Zarondona, 28, from Midsayap, North Cotabato, was crowned as Ms. Hope International 2016 at the 3rd annual, multi-category international pageant held at V & A Waterfront in Capetown, South Africa last Saturday.

Ruby won over contestants from all over the world including her runners-up from Australia and Namibia. Ruby was one of the grand winners in different categories, the others being: Miss Teen Hope International Kaitlyn Bauer of South Africa, Miss Hope International Natalie Memory of Zimbabwe, Mr. Hope International Leo Sera Twain of Botswana, Ms. Hope Elite Cheryl Wagner of Australia.

Based in Capetown South Africa, Hope Journey International is a pageant system where 50 % of the judging is based on community projects and interviews. Ruby, who was very happy and proud to have represented the Philippines with flying colors, also won awards for Best Interview, Best in Community Service, Miss Wella Hair and Miss Stunning Shoes.

A licensed teacher (she obtained her Education degree from Southern Christian College in Midsayap in 2008), Ruby did odd jobs including selling mobile phones at a mall when she failed to get an item from DECS. Ruby eventually entered the police force after finishing her training at the academy and married PO1 Melvin Zarondona in 2013.

Rubs was initially assigned at Lupon Municipal Police Station in Davao Oriental. For now, she serves as focal person for Performance Governance System (PGS), a group that assesses the performance of every police station in the region. She got her international pageant assignment from Queens of the Beautiful Planet pageant director Karen Sabarre who handpicked her for the tilt. She joined the Mrs. Category of Queens of the Beautiful Planet Philippines Pageant earlier this year.  Ruby is no newbie in beauty pageants. As early as 14, she has been joining local pageants winning as Bb. Midsayap (2006), Hiyas ng Kagandahan (2005) and Mutya ng Libungan (2007).
