In a world where everyone is judged initially according to his or her face value, Mary Ann Angelie Cajipe stands out. With her doe pitch-black eyes and smooth fair skin, she can capture the attention of many, especially men, and receive their adulation immediately.

But she’s more than being pretty, evident by her string of accomplishments in spite of her young age.

At 21 years old, she’s already an Athlete of the Year for Table Tennis, recipient of Best in Information and Technology, participant of Kasiglahan Peace Corps, awardee of numerous journalism competitions, and an active blogger. She has even conquered politics as a Sangguniang Kabataan councilor for Barangay Quiot, Pardo—all in the name of public service. If she’s not modeling or enriching her love for photography, she’s into Sales and Operation Support for an exclusive Philippine distributor of antivirus software.

This incredibly beauteous lass, fortunately, shares to us all the secrets of her success and allurement. For one, no matter what she does, she always tries to be herself. She places great emphasis and importance to honesty, a character value she has mastered and truly proud of. Further, she considers her own personality as her best attribute. She believes her smiles allow her to make other people feel comfortable and happy. Her creativity gave her the wings to fly and pursue the things that are far beyond her self-imposed limitations. Most of all, she doesn’t settle for second best but pursues her loves with wild abandon.

Truly we are honored to have Mary Ann our face for June. We love the fact that she’s proven us wrong: she’s more than her pitch-black doe eyes and smooth fair skin. She’s a first-rate woman.
