Many pageant experts are touting the rich harvest of beautiful candidates with international caliber in Bb Pilipinas 2010. Seventeen of the 24 ladies vying for Bb Pilipinas crowns can easily represent us internationally and do well. The last time this happened was in 2007 when Margaret Wilson, Theresa Licaros, and Nadia Shami won (all were 5'9 and above, by the way), while their finalists were equally very qualified (i.e. Liezl Verses, Kean Mallari, Luisa Beltran, Nichole Schmitz, Melanie Adjarani, and Edferlyn Quinto. This trend is nothing but good news for Bb Pilipinas organization and the country as we continue to search for our next Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International.
Let's see who they are, why they will do well in Binibini, and what strengths they may bring to the international arena.
1) Mariella Castillo (5'6) - Mariella has the penultimate Barbie figure among the candidates of Bb Pilipinas 2010. Many pageant experts have noticed her beautiful bone structure. Everything about her body is so well proportioned that it creates a tall persona for her. She looks taller than she really is. When combined with her Dawn Zulueta looks, her ramp model moves, and her "Miss Slimmers World" figure, she exudes this class and grace akin to Miriam Quiambao's in Miss Universe 1999. She will do well in Miss Universe, Miss World, and even Miss International.
2) Selena Antonio (5'6)- Selena is your typical girl next door with the "sosyal" colegiala aura. She is the type whom Bb Pilipinas is looking for, and her beauty is the type that does well in the same pageant. Selena is fit and has very nice curves. She has the same "dating" of her fellow St. Scolastica alumna and Bb Pilipinas-International 1989, Patty Betita. They have the same smile and facial features, only Selena is comparatively shorter. She can do well in Miss International.
3) Nichole Kauffman (5'6)- Doesn't anybody see the facial resemblance of this lady to Bb Pilipinas Universe 2000, Nina Ricci Alagao? She has the typical Filipina model looks in a beauty queen body. Hers is the beauty that the commercial modeling industry is looking for. Her beauty is suited for Miss World.
4) Patrixia Santos (5'6) - Patricia's looks is so likeable, and many people who witnessed her smarts in the Q&A segment of her regional pageant are vowing that, given the chance to be in the Top 5, she can outshine anyone to make it to the top. She has the same aura of formel Elite Model Philippines in the 90s, Ivy Vong. In a regular less competitive pageant, she can easily be in the Top 3. But in a pageant where intelligence is valued, it's anybody's ballgame.
5) Laurese Ann Caparas (5'8)- Laurese's swan neck is very under-appreciated. She resembles the beauty of Marivic Galang, Bb Pilipinas 1997 2nd Runner-up to Abbygail Arenas. She is a diamond in the rough - a rare find. She could do well in Miss Universe if she aces Bb Pilipinas' Q&A. Has anybody noticed her queenly mannerisms? Gov e this lady a few more years and she can make a major comeback.
6) Patricia Ejercitado (5'8) - Some people call her the oriental version of Zuleyka Rivera, Miss Universe 2006. Out of the 24 candidates, she stands out with her pro moves. She struts the stage like no one I have ever seen. She is ready for the international competition - no need to hone or train. She also has a great bone structure
to boot. She is a better, classier version of Gilrhea Quizon, and guess what this type of beauty brought the latter lady?
7)Ana Marie Morelos (5'7)- Ana Marie has an international experience to carry her through. She is voluptuous; has a perfect face; and very likeable like Lara Quigaman, Bb Pilipinas International 2005. She can do well either in Miss International or Miss World.
8) Venus Raj (5'9) - This lady has a strong presence. Some people liken her to Bb Pilipinas Universe 2008 Jennifer Barrientos, but I think she is an edgier, more beautiful version of Jennifer. Her obvious waterloo is her Q&A capacity, but watching her answer her question in Miss Philippines Earth 2007, there's nothing that differs herself from Miriam Quiambao's performance in Miss Universe 1999. She has the presence of mind and can think while answering her question. She just does not have the gift for gab, but can carry a conversation anyway. Her body is the type that Victoria Secret is looking for. She can do well in Miss Universe, Miss World, or Miss International, if she improves on her obvious weakness.
9) Kristina Kleiner (5'8) - If the law of averages rules, Krisitina might just come out victorious and represent the Philippines in Miss Universe. Some people say she resembles Priscilla Perales, Miss International 2007, while some say she resembles Evelyn Papantonious, Miss Universe 1st Runner up of yore. She may not possess the best figure like people complain about; she may not have the swan-neck that looks pretty in stage, but she can carry herself very well in Miss Universe, the way Charlene Gonzlez, Miss Philippines Universe 1994, did during her time. Besides, she outshines almost everyone in the Q&A, so expect her to outwit anyone on her way to a crown. Will Bb Pilipinas change its formula this year in favor of a Mestiza? We'll see.
10) Raena Mae Maerina (5'10) - Among the 24, Raena has the body which will do well in Supermodel Philippines.In fact she should try her luck in the said pageant if she does not win in Bb Pilipinas. And since she has a striking resemblance to Bb Pilipinas Universe 2008, Lia Andrea Ramos, will she take home the same crown this year?
11) Gwendoline Ruais (6'1) - There was a time when the androgynous, amazonian beauty was well-appreciated in Bb Pilipinas (think Marilen Espino, Bb Pilipinas-World 1988 and Supermodel Philippines 1997). Since androgyny is back in trend in the modeling world, will it work for Gwen in Miss Universe, when the pageant's preference has started evolving towards Supermodel like beauties? Will she be sent to Miss World, Miss International, or will the judges give way towards feminine beauty types? Who knows, but all I know is that Gwen is a cosmopolitan beauty who is so well travelled and can speak her mind. And we know how Bb Pilipinas rewards beauties who can speak their minds - with a crown that is.
12) Mary Ann Ross Misa (5'11) - My gut feel tells me she is being groomed to represent us in Miss World. She has this undeniable diva persona of the likes of Margaret Wilson, Ruffa Gutierrez, or Caroline Subijano. etc. She is another rare find. How often do we come across a very tall Filipina who is not only sexy, but can speak her mind, too? Oh yes, I have heard her speak. She has a "palaban" persona, and she is actually getting fiercer by the day. For some reason, I see a Marianne Cruz (Miss Domincan Republic 2008 and Miss Universe 3rd Runner Up) or a Lourdes Arevalos (Miss Paraguay 2006 and 3rd Runner Up)in her beauty.
13) Jam Libatog (5'9) - Jam comes across as a brunette version of Nadia Shami (Bb Pilipinas International 2007). She already has an international experience, and she has another vavavoom figure, if you haven't noticed. She also does well in the Q&A, so she could easily be in the Top 10.If she makes it in the Top 5, she can keep up with her fellow intelligent candidates, so I expect her to do well. Her beauty can be sent to Miss International.
14) Toni Alyess Hipolito (5'7) - The only Latina looking candidate this year, she has improved tremendously from her last stint at Bb Pilipinas. Thank God she removed those annoying braces. Her beauty can be appreciated in Miss World, where goddess-like beauties are more appreciated. I hope she does better this time. I will be excited over this prospect.
15)Helen Nicolette Henson (5'8) - As a former Mutya ning Kapampangan, she carries the banner for Pampanga this year. She has a girl next door beauty that's alta-sociedad. Her beauty is the type Stella celebrates and chooses. Her eyes are like Anjanatte Abayari's (Bb Pilipinas Universe 1991 (?), and she will definitely show the Pampanguena tenacity that they are known for, especially since it has been a while since Pampanga has shined in Bb Pilipinas.She promised her beauty queen handlers that she will fight with all her might during the finals night, so expect her to do very well to keep the tradition Pampanga is known for.
16) Diane Necio (5'8). Dianne's beauty is always likened to Miriam Quiambao's. Many pageant experts say her exotic beauty will be appreciated in Miss Universe or Miss International. After all she is really a beauty to behold - she has a beautiful Filipina complexion, another amazing bone structure, and a queenly stance. I think she can do well in any of the three major pageants, but she needs to stand out in the final Q&A.. Good luck to her.
