Zephorah "Zara" Aldana Mayon a.k.a. Zara Aldana (born April 17, 1989) is a Filipina celebrity. Aldana is a former Mutya ng Pilipinas-Asia Pacific title holder, winning the title in 2007.

[edit] Career

She's also known to be a distant relative of fellow beauty pageant contestant Michelle Aldana, which also happens to be a Mutya ng Pilipinas holder. One of Zara's recognitions was when she took home the Ms. STI College International and Bb. Las Piñas crown in 2006 and was granted full scholarship to college.

She created waves after winning the Mutya ng Pilipinas-Asia Pacific title in 2007. However, in less than two months of her reign, Zara was reported to have given up the crown. Many reasons came up as to why she abdicated her throne: discrimination within the organization, unclear contract, lack of support from the organizers and "fatigue" from the sudden lifestyle change.

She's popularly known from joining the Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2. She played for the St. Camillus Medhaven in Marikina City. She also recently became a part of the ABS-CBN's version of Wheel of Fortune as a puzzle assistant along with Jasmine Fitzgerald.
