Early life
Tugonon finished her Pharmacy degree with Latin honours (Cum Laude) at the Pontifical and
Royal University of Santo Tomas in Manila and became a Licensed Pharmacist in June 2010.[2]
Tugonon also attended the Lisa Macuja School of Ballet Manila as a ballet protg while
attending university. In 2010, Tugonon was titled Miss Pharmacy and Miss Thomasian
Personality 2010 at UST

Pageantry
Binibining Pilipinas
In 2011, Tugonon placed 1st Runner-up in the Binibining Pilipinas 2011 pageant. The eventual
winner was Shamcey Supsup (her roommate). In 2012, Janine once again entered the pageant
and won the title of Miss Universe Philippines 2012,[3][4] gaining the right to represent the
Philippines at the Miss Universe 2012 pageant.[5]

Miss Universe 2012

On 19 December 2012, Tugonon competed in Miss Universe 2012 at the Planet Hollywood
Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, United States where she finished 1st Runner-up to Olivia Culpo
of the USA.[1] Tugonon was the only Asian to place in the Top 5. Philippines placed in the Top 5
for the third consecutive year.
During the final question and answer portion of the competition Tugonon was asked a question
via Twitter and read by judge Nigel Barker: "As an international ambassador, do you believe that
speaking English should be a prerequisite to being Miss Universe? Why or why not?", Tugonon
replied:
For me, being Miss Universe is not just about knowing how to speak a specific language it is
being able to influence and inspire other people. So whatever language you have, as long your
heart is to serve and you have a strong mind to show to people, then, you can be Miss Universe.
To note, Tugonon is the second Filipino to place 1st Runner-up, after Miriam Quiambao at Miss
Universe 1999.[citation needed]

Modeling
Tugonon is currently now living in the United States as she pursue her studies. At present, she is
signed with MSA Models.[6] Two of her biggest endorsements are Wells Fargo and Walmart.[7]
Her latest stint was on the newest commercial of Victoria's Secret Pink, the iconic fashion
brand's line for college women.[8][9][10]

Personal life
Tugonon's relationship with Jaypee Santos was put in the spotlight. The two broke up in March
2013 after Tugonon reportedly began communicating with The Script's frontman, Danny
O'Donoghue after their Manila concert that month.
Tugonon, together with Santos, appeared in ABS-CBN's "KrisTV" in April 2013 where she
admitted to being a huge fan of The Script as well as her break up with Santos due to her
communication with O'Donoghue, after host Kris Aquino publicly embarrassed Santos in front of
the camera. However, Tugonon stated that he did not have a relationship with the singer and that
the break up was only for the purpose of "thinking things over". Nevertheless, Tugonon received
a lot of criticisms from netizens over her actions towards Santos on national television.[11][12]
