Sinulog Festival Queen Stefanie Collamar Przewodnik Reveals Pageant Journey Details
The recently crowned Sinulog Festival Queen for this year has not only captured the prestigious title but has also swept multiple special awards during the competition. Stefanie Collamar Przewodnik, the 20-year-old multi-awarded beauty from the Municipality of Asturias, earned recognition as Best in Festival Costume, Best in Production Number, Best in Runway, Best in Solo Performance, Miss Photogenic, Miss AweSM, and several other honors.
Physical Challenges and Preparation
In a revealing interview, Przewodnik confirmed experiencing physical discomfort from her elaborate Sinulog costume. "Yes, it's true. My hips were injured and even until now they're still a bit swollen and numb," the beauty queen disclosed. She attributed the injury to friction and the considerable weight of her gown, admitting she hadn't adequately prepared with proper undergarments for the costume. However, she emphasized that by the coronation night, her team had made thorough preparations to ensure everything went smoothly.
Perspective on Multiple Awards
When asked about being dubbed the "hakot queen" for collecting numerous awards, Przewodnik responded with humility. "I don't really see it that way," she stated. "I'm just grateful for every award that I received and feel honored to have been chosen by brands and companies that wish to work with me in the future."
Future Pageant Aspirations
Addressing rumors about potentially representing Cebu in the Miss Universe Philippines pageant, Przewodnik clarified she hasn't received any official notification. She expressed support for whoever would eventually represent Cebu, encouraging fellow Cebuanos to rally behind their candidate. When asked if she would accept such an opportunity if offered, she responded, "Sure, although it's quite an intimidating pageant, but maybe someday, when the stars align and when the time is right, we will compete, in God's perfect time."
Pageant Background and Achievements
Przewodnik's pageant journey includes several notable titles:
- Miss Consolacion 2022
- Miss Mandaue 2024
- Miss Cesafi 2025
- Miss Subaraw Festival Queen 2025 in Puerto Princesa, Palawan
Reflecting on her accomplishments, she shared, "Of course, I'm happy. Although every crown I gain is a huge accomplishment, it never defines who I am as a person. I'd rather call it a blessing. I always choose to stay grounded."
Personal Background and Family
The beauty queen comes from a diverse cultural background. Her mother is Filipina with some Spanish ancestry from her maternal grandmother's side, with family roots in northern Cebu areas including Tabuelan and Tuburan. They also have relatives in Laguna and Masbate. Her father's family is entirely German, with her father having moved to the Philippines over thirty years ago and remaining there after meeting her mother.
While no other family members are beauty queens, Przewodnik credits her family with instilling values of grace and kindness. As the youngest and only daughter in her family, she currently balances her pageant career with academic pursuits as a second-year Marketing student at the University of San Carlos.
Personal Life
When asked about her relationship status, Przewodnik confirmed with a lighthearted "Yes, I do have [a boyfriend]. Hehe..." maintaining her approachable and genuine personality that has endeared her to many fans and followers.
