IMG_29472257353235 

The search is still on! Yes, Your blogger has been updated that the filing for Bb. Pilipinas 2014 has been extended until January 15.

Aside from the Parul Shah, Hannah Ruth Sison and Pia Wurtzbach, do we expect any more returnees for this year?

Bb. Pilipinas 2014: Pia Wurtzbach, the A&Q Torch Bearer for 2014?

Image 

While Kagandahang Flores may have Parul Shah and Hannah Ruth Sison as this year's flag bearers, it is no secret that A&Q is also in thick of preparations for 2014, with the hopes of keeping the Miss Universe Philippines crown in their camp and most probably it will be Pia Wurtzbach leading the way for A&Q's entrants.

It is no secret how Pia wants to enter the succeeding Bb. Pilipinas editions, while being the 1st Runner Up to ladies like Ara Arida, Bea Rose Santiago, Cindy Miranda and Mutya Datul can be considered an achievement, there is no doubt that this girl wants more than just being around during send-offs and participating in trainings, with SMA's green light, I believe that Pia will emerge as one of the candidates as she has placed on Instagram, 51 beautiful years (what else would you mean by that?)

Bb. Pilipinas 2014: Diana Arevalo, one last time?

 

Pageant fans have given this abuzz and I had probably written this previously. 

Diana Arevalo, 25 is reportedly gunning for her 3rd attempt for a Binibining Pilipinas crown and boy, if ever she files her application, I think she will go all out to win it.

Diana joined in 2009 where she placed in the Top 10 and in 2011 where she placed in the Top 15. This will be a wild and crazy Bb. Pilipinas season once more.

Bb. Pilipinas 2014: Should Jaysel Arrozal give it a one last try?

Jaysel

Having seen names from Pia Wurtzbach, Hannah Ruth Sison and Diana Arevalo, should Jaysel Arrozal give it one last try? 

The 23 year old beauty queen can still make it through the age limit, that is no doubt, but being a part of the BBP 2008 Semifinals and BBP 2009 is already an achievement in itself, especially having been a part of the Top 5 of Miss World Philippines in 2011.

She recently placed as 4th Runner Up in the recent Miss Resorts World Manila 2013. 

That we will have to see come the last day of filing of applications, which is tentatively set on Monday, December 30.

Angeli Dione Gomez: Another Gomez to win Miss Tourism International 2013/14?

image 

The second Mutya ng Pilipinas winner, Angeli Dione Gomez is currently on the thick of her contest, Miss Tourism International 2013/14, while she has been enjoying those activities with her fellow candidates, admittedly there is an extreme pressure on her to win MTI back-to-back, after her fellow Cebuana and surname-sake, reigning Miss Tourism International 12/13 Rizzini Alexis Gomez who will be with her as she crowns the new winner.

I just hope that Angeli gets to cap this 2013 with a bang.

This year has been incredible for Binibining Pilipinas, the Gold Batch lead by Ariella Arida, Bea Rose Santiago, Cindy Miranda and Mutya Johanna Datul surely left up to its name making their "mother", Madam Stella Marquez Araneta extremely proud. Ara continued the streak at the Miss Universe, making it a 4 peat, Bea won the 5th Miss International crown for the Philippines, Cindy Miranda's inclusion in the Top 10 of Miss Tourism Queen International is something to be proud of while of course, the first Asian to win Miss Supranational, Mutya made this year a fruitful golden year for BPCI.

Your blogger is excited on what's to come for Bb. Pilipinas 2014 with all the things that happened this year. Will Pia Wurtzbach file for another try? Will Parul Shah and Hannah Ruth Sison give Binibini another go? Or will their be crossovers from MPE that will give Binibini a try?

Alejandra Andreu: The MI winner who attended MI2013

Before we get to talk about our very own Bea Santiago who was crowned as Miss International 2013, we talk about Alejandra Andreu, Miss International 2008 who acted as the reigning titleholder with the controversies involving last year's winner Ikumi Yoshimatsu (MI 2012).

Alejandra did an absolutely fantastic job doing the crowning made friends with almost all the delegates and enjoyed her stay in Tokyo.

While we feel for Ikumi, it was a pleasure to see Alejandra crown the current winner and I am sure the crowning brought distinct memories with her. She had enjoyed the experience, made new friends and will come back to Spain with wonderful stories.

A Snapshot of the Favorites: Bea and Elian

image 

With Miss International 2013 caught in full-swing, I had the chance to see a photo of our very own Bea Rose Santiago and Venezuela's Elian Herrera. Without any bias, our very own Bea shines even without make up. Elian's photo here made her a bit old. (Forgive me for being too harsh).

Will they be the two girls standing close to each other comes award's night, I sure pray so.

Elian Herrera's turn to take the spotlight

 

Gabriela Isler - Miss Universe 2013
Alyz Henrich is still in the Philippines for the culmination of Miss Earth 2013

Now it is Elian Herrera's turn to take the spotlight.

Candidates for Miss International 2013 will be heading to Tokyo, Japan for the Miss International finals, and with Venezuela just winning 3 years ago with Elizabeth Mosquera (2010), I don't see anything that will bar the glamazon named Elian Herrera from doing so.

Ali Forbes: Will she be the first Miss Grand International 2013?

Philippines - Ali Forbes 

Tonight is the Miss Grand International 2013 Finals Night where former Bb. Pilipinas 2012 2nd Runner Up Ali Forbes gets to represent the country to the stage. The preliminaries and activities for MGI show how much Ali has benefited from training with Janine, Nicole, Katrina and Elaine during their 2012 reign and a crown is not far from impossible.

She may also look at this as a way to get a headstart if she wants to join BBP once more (smile!).

Sulay Castillo: From Miss Supranational '12 to Miss Grand International '13

http://expresiones.expreso.ec/media/ediciones//20120223/nacional/22022012_050802.jpg 

Another legitimate contender to tonight's Miss Grand International is Sulay Castillo, if the name rings a bell, she was the 4th Runner Up of Miss Supranational 2012 representing Ecuador and we consider her as the darkhorse of the contest as she has excellent catwalk and modeling skills she exhibited during the Supranational 2012 contest.

Chantel Martinez: Will she be Miss Grand International 2013?


After her Miss Supranational 2012 stint comes a chance to represent Dominican Republic to Miss Grand International 2013, whose coronation night happens tonight with our very own Ali Forbes (Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner Up 2012) as a contender.

Chantel, who was a Top 20 Semifinalist in Miss Supranational '12 earned the right to represent her country to Miss Grand International as she was he 5th Runner Up or Miss Grand Republica Dominicana.

Elian and Alyz: Ready to take the spotlight after Gabriela


Gabriela has done it for Venezuela, and most definitely two more ladies can under Osmel's wing.

Elian Herrera (Miss Venezuela International) and Alyz Henrich (Miss Venezuela Earth) are probably the most ready and polished beauty queens having been crowned mid-2012 for a 2013 contest. Alyz is expected to be here in Manila for Miss Earth 2013 any moment from now while Elian would go to Japan for Miss International 2013 on December 17.

The two girls mantra will have to be: If Gabriela can do it, we can too!

Pia Wurtzbach: Will she do a Janine Tugonon next year?

 

We've completed the 4 peat in the recent Miss Universe with Ariella Arida being 3rd Runner Up in the recent pageant, now, there's so much belief that Pia Wurtzbach, the sole Bb. Pilipinas Gold Runner-Up will eventually give up her placement this year to be able to join and possibly, win the Miss Universe Philippines crown.

What are the chances of her winning?  Probably the greatest of all chances, being under A&Q and having the chance to join Miss Universe 3rd Runner Up Arida, Bb. Pilipinas International Bea Rose Santiago, Bb. Pilipinas Tourism Cindy Miranda and Miss Supranational Mutya Datul on trainings and events for this year, but would rather employ the wait and see attitude.

There's still one more Binibini competing, Bea, we wish her the best.

Miss Universe 2013 Results: Gabriela Isler of Venezuela wins, Ariella Arida 3rd Runner Up

  
 Filipina pride reigned supreme in beauty pageants as Miss Universe Philippines Ariella Arida was hailed as Miss Universe 2013 3rd Runner Up.

Arida was called last in the Top 16 for winning the MU 2013 Online Voting, conquered the stage with her Yamamay swimsuit and her evening gown on the Top 10 and probably gave the best answer when she entered the Q&A portion in the Top 5.

 Her Q&A question was: What is the  solution to the lack of jobs among young people starting their careers around the world is education.

"For the people who have lack of jobs, I do believe that we people should invest in education and that is my primary advocacy because if we all know that everyone of us is educated and well aware of what we are doing, we can land into jobs and we could land our careers in the future. So education is a primary source and it's a ticket for a better future."

 
Winning the 7th Miss Universe Crown for Venezuela is Gabriela Isler, who had this for her winning answer to judge Steven Tyler's question "What is your biggest fear and how do you plan to overcome it?"
"For me while one may have a lot of fears but nonetheless this is nothing negative. I believe we should overcome all of our fears and this in turn would make us much stronger and mostly we can become stronger persons. As soon as we overcome our fears and we are sure of ourselves then we can face any challenge."
Arida makes it 4th in a row in the Top 5 for the Philippines, after Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup and Janine Tugonon.

Complete Results:
MISS UNIVERSE 2013 – Gabriela Isler (Venezuela)
1st Runner Up – Patricia Rodriguez (Spain)
2nd Runner Up –  Constanza Baez (Ecuador)
3rd Runner Up – Ariella Arida (Philippines)
4th Runner Up – Jackelyne Olveira (Brazil)

The Many Faces of Miss Universe Philippines Ariella Arida

20131018-172535.jpg  
The many faces of Ariella Hernandez Arida as photographed by Niccolo Cosme (photos: rappler.com) show that she's more than prepared to conquer Moscow, Russia and try to at least have the continuous Top 5 placements following her predecessors Venus Raj (2010 MU 4th Runner-Up), Shamcey Supsup (2011 MU 3rd Runner-Up) and Janine Tugonon (2012 MU 1st Runner-Up).
While there is an insurmountable amount of expectations for Ara, Filipinos must be united in supporting the Philippine bet. Whatever happens, Filipinos should know that Ara has done it #ForthePhilippines.
 
By now our Philippine bet is on her way to Russia, Goodluck Ara! :)
, , , , ,

For the Philippines she goes: Ara Arida off to conquer Russia

image 

For the Philippines, yes, this has been the mantra of 2013 Miss Universe Philippines Ariella Arida, who left yesterday on board to Moscow, Russia.

There is tremendous amount of pressure, but I should say this UP Chemistry graduate knows her pressure and will not succumb to it. She will be bringing to Crocus Hall all her preparations, be it on her tremendous  training with John Cuay to beauty queen preps with her fellow beauty queens from BBP Gold.
 
Wondering when the voting would start, do you know?

Ladies in Waiting: Ara, Ali, Angelee, Bea and Angeli

Here are some of the ladies left to be competing for this year 2013 on various international beauty pageants:

 
Ariella Arida
Miss Universe Philippines (competing in Miss Universe 2013)
Pageant Date: November 9, 2013 in Crocus Hall, Moscow, Russia

There is undeniably pressure at Ara Arida to win it, after Janine Tugonon has almost made the title in 2012 and A&Q and BPCI are leaving no stones unturned to help her prepare for the contest. Her latest pictures were a product of her intense training & effort and while her bashers have concentrated on her Q&A being to be non-conversionalist, there is a gut feel that Ara will be using her heart to translate words to people when she reaches that stage. 

 
Ali Forbes
Miss Grand Philippines (competing in Miss Grand Int'l 2013) 

Bb. Pilipinas 2012 2nd Runner Up Ali Forbes gets the opportunity of a lifetime to represent the country to the first Miss Grand International 2013. With no less than the owner of Miss Grand International picking Ali in a casting call, She is seen to be one of the contenders for the first Miss Grand crown and I am sure John Dela Vega is going to help make it happen.

  
Angelee Delos Reyes 
Miss Philippines-Earth 2013
Pageant Date: December 7, 2013 at the Mall of Asia Arena in the Philippines

With the Miss Earth finals to happen here in Manila, PH, Angelee is preparing like she is competing in a different land, trying to make sure that she would not be bashed with an eventual placement if it happens. She would also use the "home crowd" as the opportunity to get her all confident until the Q&A. Q&A wise she is ready, we've seen her interviews in the past that she would answer questions thrown at her with ease (See previous post with Boy Abunda).

  
Bea Rose Santiago
Bb. Pilipinas - International 2013
Pageant Date: December 17, 2013 in Tokyo, Japan for Miss International 2013

The Philippines had been in the Top 15 of Miss International for the past 5 years and has won the most number of MI titles since the days of Gemma Cruz Araneta back in 1964. This year, Bea who traces her roots from Masbate will try to win the MI title for the Philippines. Top 15 placement? Within reach. Miss International crown? Not far from being impossible. 


Angeli Dione Gomez
Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism International 2013
Pageant Date: December 31, 2013 (for Miss Tourism International 13/14)

From one Gomez to another, Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism International Angeli Dione Gomez has a tough task at hand, especially following the success of reigning Miss Tourism International 12/13 Rizzini Alexis Gomez. The Cebuana is out to capture the hearts of the people behind MTI and hopefully, register a back-to-back win for the Philippines.

**Koreen Medina is likewise competing for Miss Intercontinental but haven't had the information as to when she will compete, there are other girls who will still be competing if we missed out on anyone don't hesitate to ring us a bell.
