Rodgil Flores

Rodgil Flores is a Filipino beauty pageant mentor and events organizer. He is known as the founder of Kagandahang Flores, a boot camp for beauty pageant candidates.

Background Flores, a son of a politician, grew up in Pateros. In an interview that appeared in South China Morning Post, Flores stated that he was inspired with beauty pageants at seven years old during the 1974 staging of Miss Universe in the Philippines that was broadcast on live television. As a student, he pursued chemical engineering instead of becoming a make-up artist out of concern that his family would disapprove. He claimed that he mentors 250 to 300 women each year. As pageants were criticized for objectifying women, Flores said, "You have to be beautiful? Yes. But you should also have something inside that complements how you look."

Foreign candidates who underwent his coaching were Miss International 2017 Kevin Lilliana of Indonesia and Miss Earth 2018 Nguyễn Phương Khánh of Vietnam.
