Throwback: Bb. Pilipinas 2011



 

 
Bb. Pilipinas 2011 marked the second of what has been three-peat Top 5 placement in Miss Universe with Architect Shamcey Supsup being crowned as Miss Universe Philippines 2011 and eventually becoming 3rd Runner Up in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
 
Dianne Necio, Bb. Pilipinas 2010 1st Runner Up resigned from her contract to be able to compete. She was crowned as Bb. Pilipinas International 2011. She made it to Miss International 2011 Top 15 and won the award Miss Internet.
 
Isabella Manjon was crowned as Bb. Pilipinas Tourism. She competed in Miss Tourism Queen International 2011 and took home the special award Miss Charity.
 
Janine Tugonon and Mary Jean Lastimosa were the first and second runners-up of that year respectively. Both resigned from their titles to compete in Bb. Pilipinas 2012 but had different faith. Janine was crowned as Miss Universe Philippines while MJ was a semifinalist.

Deadlines coming, who would pass before January 31?


Relatively 4 days left before the extended deadline of Binibining Pilipinas closes for the girls who are interested to take part of Binibining Pilipinas 2013, We've seen pageant blogs feature those candidates that reached BPCI office, like Pia Wurtzbach, Ariella Arida, Mariel De Leon (daughter of Christopher de Leon and Sandy Andolong) and many others under the camp of Gaffud, Dela Vega, Flores and other handlers.
 
Are we going to see some more girls this week? That we have to find out. Deadline for Binibining Pilipinas 2013 applicants for screening is on January 31 (I just hope there's no more extension).
 
Reigning queens are Janine Tugonon (Miss Universe Philippines), Nicole Schmitz (Bb. Pilipinas International) and Katrina Dimaranan (Bb. Pilipinas Tourism).

Throwback: Bb. Pilipinas 1999


Bb. Pilipinas 1999 saw a lot of twists, the dethronement of Janelle Bautista (Original Winner of Bb. Pilipinas Universe) making way for Miriam Quiambao (Bb. Pilipinas World turned Bb. Pilipinas Universe), Lalaine Edson (Bb. Pilipinas International turned Bb. Pilipinas World) and Georgina Ann Sandico, who was a part of the semifinalists of the 1999 competition became Bb. Pilipinas International.

Miriam Quiambao went on to be the most successful as she became Miss Universe 1st Runner Up, behind Mpule Kwelagobe of Botswana.

Throwback: Bb. Pilipinas 2005




Image

Bb. Pilipinas 2005 for me is one of the successful years of Binibining Pilipinas in the early 2000s. Gionna Cabrera (Miss Universe Philippines 2005) went home with 2 special awards from Miss Universe 05. Carlene Aguilar (Bb. Pilipinas World) was a Miss World Semifinalist and Precious Lara Quigaman was a big winner as she went back to the Philippines as Miss International 2005.

Pia Wurtzbach for the crown this year?

Pia Romero Wurtzbach: could she be the face of Bb. Pilipinas 2013? 

This girl is getting all the hype and for all reasons that is.

Pia Romero Wurtzbach can give all the girls a run for their money. She is currently under the wings of Jonas Gaffud's Aces and Queens and has benefited from being with the Star Magic Camp of ABS-CBN.

Will Pia live up to the expectations, make it to the official list of candidates and jump to the crown?

Vania Valiry Vispo, another MWP to BBP crossover applicant

 

Another Bb. Pilipinas 2013 applicant who is a crossover from Miss World Philippines is Vania Valiry Vispo. Valiry competed in the 2nd edition of the pageant won by Queenie Rehman and made it to the Top 12 where she was also awarded as Smart People's Choice. This year, Valiry proves she deserves a second look as she filed her application for Bb. Pilipinas 2013.

One More Chance for Moll and Forbes?

ImageIf you talk about the extension of Bb. Pilipinas 2013 application in other pageant blogs, many have been considered to be dismayed with the idea, I mean, this is the 2nd extension after the first extension which was set last January 22. More pageant enthusiasts have expressed their thinking that maybe Madam Stella Marquez Araneta and the BPCI organizers are giving a chance for those who have been undecided to join Binibini and maybe for those with lesser titles - 1st and 2nd Runners Up of the previous edition prior to this year.

There goes the name of Elaine Kay Moll (Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up) and Annalie Forbes (Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner Up). Elaine had a rosy reign as BBP - 1st RU as she was appointed as Miss Supranational Philippines 2012, competed in Miss Supranational 2012 and bagged 4th place as 3rd Runner Up in the competition. However, since Supranational is not an official title, Elaine is still technically the 1st Runner Up. Ali meanwhile, the BBP-2nd Runner Up has joined Janine, Nicole, Katrina and Elaine in their trainings and I think they have benefited well from it if in case they would be joining, however, I don't think they should be joining now: They should not give up their contracts for a shot at something they are not sure off. 

If ever the two (or one since Elaine has expressed she would not be joining) will join this year, I am sure there are a lot of bashing like what happened to Dianne Necio (who resigned from her title as BBP 2010 1st Runner Up to compete in 2011 where she was BBP-International) and Janine Tugonon (who went on to compete last year and became BBP-Universe after she was 1st Runner Up to Shamcey Supsup in 2011). I hope they are not the people BPCI is waiting for... skip 1 - 2 years before joining (who knows what will happen? Deadline is until the 31st).

Jaysel Arrozal, one more time (with feelings please)

Jaysel Arrozal: BBP to MWP and now trying again for BBP

One of the girls that have filed their applications for Bb. Pilipinas 2013 is a face very familiar to Bb. Pilipinas. A returnee by the name of Jaysel Arrozal. Jaysel has joined 2 previous competitions of Bb. Pilipinas in 2008 (where she placed on the Top 10) which was won by Jennifer Barrientos and in 2009, she was unplaced. In 2011, she joined the maiden edition of Miss World Philippines and was hailed as Miss World Philippines - 4th Princess (behind eventual winner Gwendoline Ruais who went on to be Miss World 2011 1st Princess).


With all her obligations (and contracts) with Cory Quirino's CQGQ done, she was one of the few ladies who passed their applications to beat the second deadline set by BPCI. Will Jaysel Arrozal make it to the official list of candidates and bring a crown home?

One more time (with feelings please?)...

Goodluck Jaysel! ;)

Will Aces and Queens outdo their 2012 turnout?




 image

Beauty camps have been preparing for the 50th Anniversary of Bb. Pilipinas this year, and Jonas Gaffud of Aces and Queens definitely want to improve their 2012 achievements in Bb. Pilipinas by having 3 of 5 winners in their camps (Janine - Miss Universe Philippines, Katrina - Bb. Pilipinas Tourism and Elaine - Miss Supranational Philippines) by holding a mock pageant with the girls they are set to fill in for this year. Truly a preparation indeed by the Gaffud camp.

Will these 14 girls make it to the list of official candidates?
Will Gaffud's camp field in more contestants?

Early Binibini Applicant: Nicole Tuazon

Nicole at the Gateway for the filing of her Bb. Pilipinas application. 

Another Cebuana lass who filed for Bb. Pilipinas 2013 is (Engr). Nicole Tuazon, you see, the Miss Mandaue 2012 is more than just beauty but she is also compelled with the term "beauty and brains" as the 21 year old standout was a cum laude graduate from University of San Carlos with a degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering. After graduating, she has already reviewed and passed the October 2012 Board Examinations. With her accomplishments, this 5'7" standout is out to conquer the Binibini screening committee.

Will she be able to make it to the official list of Bb. Pilipinas 2013 official candidates?

Elaine Kay Moll: What's Next?

While Annalie Forbes is among those rumored to repeat for Bb. Pilipinas 2013, it isn't the same thing around for Bb. Pilipinas 2012 1st Runner Up turned Miss Supranational Philippines 2012 Elaine Kay Moll. You see, Elaine had the biggest chance of a lifetime that rarely happened in a Bb. Pilipinas Runner Up. She was appointed by BPCI to join Miss Supranational 2012, had the "queenly" send-off, was awarded as 3rd Runner-Up during the Miss Supranational 2012 contest (Ekaterina Buraya of Belarus won Miss Supranational 2012 contest) and was given a victory party/birthday bash when she came back. The experience definitely was more than what the 1st Runner Up expected, given  that it doesn't happen all the time (the last time you saw a runner-up or runners-up competing was when Michelle Reyes and Maricar Balagtas (1st and 2nd Runners-up respectively) were appointed by BPCI to different international competitions in 2001).

Now we are asking, what is next for this 20-ish something beauty queen? Will she skip 1 year at least before re-joining Bb. Pilipinas and pass the crown she's wearing now to the next BBP-Supranational (if that title should be awarded in the contest)? Will she be groomed by her mentor, Jonas Gaffud to banner this year's Aces and Queens?  That I (and I know you ask yourself)...

Pageant applications will be until January 22, 2013 (Tuesday).

Abbygale Monderin: Thus she have what it takes?

 

While the last day of filing for Bb. Pilipinas 2013 is still on Tuesday, we come to the point where we give ourselves the wishlist - lovely girls we all hope that we would see in the screening of the 50th edition of Bb. Pilipinas 2013. One of the girls that I've read in several blogs is Miss Abbygale Monderin, reigning Miss Bikini Philippines 2012.

The headturner has been one of my favorites and I would definitely like to see her in Bb. Pilipinas 2013, how about you? :)

Ali Forbes: Do you want her back for Binibining Pilipinas 2013?




Repeaters, yes, people have a different outlook on repeaters, others support them, others despise them... but for the past 2 years, we've seen successes on Dianne Necio (BBP 2010 1st Runner Up turned BBP-International) and Janine Tugonon (BBP 2011 1st Runner Up turned BBP-Universe (Miss Universe 2012 1st Runner Up). Will it be the inspiration of BBP 2012 2nd Runner Up Annalie "Ali" Forbes to return and give Binibini one more try?
That we would find out as the last day of filing for applications would be on Tuesday, January 22.

From Starstruck to the Binibini stage: Rhea Nakpil files Bb. Pilipinas 2013 application  

After conquering the Starstruck stage (she was a part of Starstruck 3, which was won by the late Markky Cielo and Jackie Rice), landing on a string of supporting roles on teleseryes on GMA-7 (She signed up with the GMA Artist Center) and moving to TV-5 for better fortunes, Rhea Nakpil was one of the early applicants for Binibining Pilipinas 2013.

Will she make an impact enough to make this year's official candidates? I for one is excited to find out

Early Binibini Applicant: Bea Rose Santiago




Another Binibini applicant is Bea Rose Santiago, Bea who represented Canada was Mutya ng Pilipinas 2011 Overseas Communities (competition was won by Vickie Rushton) and she was also a finalist in Miss Tourism Queen of the Year International in Nanjing, China. She is also one of the early Binibini applicants. Will she get a slot for Binibini's 50th edition?

Early Binibini Applicant: Kaye Michelle Agnes

 
 
Last year, we've seen her in Miss World Philippines 2012 where I find her a bit off because she was too thin, making her seemed to look like undernourished. This year, 2013, Kaye Michelle Agnes returns to the pageant field once more crossing over from MWP to Bb. Pilipinas. She is one of those early applicants in the pageant and there is a remarkable improvement on her photo than when she joined Miss World Philippines.
 
 
Good Luck to her and may she get a slot in the official candidates ;)

2012 Bb. Pilipinas Winners: BBP 2nd Runner Up Ali Forbes, BBP International Nicole Schmitz, Miss Universe Philippines Janine Tugonon, BBP Tourism Katrina Dimaranan and BBP 1st Runner Up (Miss Supranational Philippines) Elaine Kay Moll

My blog will try its very best to give you updates on the 50th Edition of Bb. Pilipinas (2013) where Janine Tugonon, Nicole Schmitz, Katrina Dimaranan (and perhaps Elaine Kay Moll) would be passing on their respective titles to this year's winners.

Reports say that there are 50 girls to compete in the pageant ;)

Mika Maxine Medina, out in 2012 yes to 2013?

maxinemedina41 

She may had the biggest heart break of 2012 as she was qualified in the 2012 Bb. Pilipinas Pageant Night after participating in a numerous number of pre-pageant activities because of conflicting endorsement contracts but rumor has it that she would come back to join Bb. Pilipinas 2013. I am quite sure that Jonas Gaffud (and Aces & Queens) have done enough polishing and training for Mika Maxine Medina, supposedly the #12 contestant in last year's Bb. Pilipinas pageant.

In case she joins again, I hope there would be no glitches on endorsement contracts so she would be free to show to everyone her true Bb. Pilipinas beauty. ;)

Battle of the Handlers for 2013


Aces and Queens for 2012: Janine Tugonon (Miss Universe 2012 1st RU) and Queenie Rehman (Miss World Top 15)


It has always been a close battle between three groups who have conquered the pageant scene: Jonas Gaffud's Aces and Queens , Kagandahang Flores and Team John Dela Vega, whoever gets the upperhand with the Big 4 pageants is always something to look forward to, with 2012 giving Aces and Queens a Miss Universe Philippines eventually turning to Miss Universe 1st Runner Up (Janine Tugonon), Bb. Pilipinas Tourism Katrina Dimaranan, Miss Supranational Philippines Elaine Kay Moll and Miss World Philippines Queenierich Rehman. Kagandahang Flores has Miss International Semifinalist Nicole Schmitz and Miss Earth-Air (Miss Philippines Earth) Stephany Stefanowitz while John Dela Vega has her protege, Ali Forbes (Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner Up) and Ayelee Marie Dasalla (Miss Humanity International 2nd Runner Up)

Now with Bb. Pilipinas and Miss Philippines - Earth accepting their applications, it would be interesting who would be fielded in and what they would accomplish this 2013? , , , ,

Flashback: Elaine Moll's Road to Miss Supranational 2012

It's a bit quiet in this pageant blog for now since it's a fresh year so we're starting a flashback in lieu of the 2013 pageants starting on Miss Supranational 2012. Philippines bet for 2012 is Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner-Up Elaine Kay Moll (Miss Supranational Philippines)

Here's some highlights from the pageant night which saw Elaine being crowned as Miss Supranational 2012 3rd Runner Up with Ekaterina Buraya of Belarus winning the Miss Supranational 2012 crown.

Repeaters for Bb. Pilipinas 2013 anyone?

Well, it is high-time for another Bb. Pilipinas season again, while there are a lot of fresh names who are rumored to join BBP 2013, there are also repeaters (I am sure) who would be coming back to vie to succeed the title now held by Janine (Miss Universe Philippines), Nicole (Bb. Pilipinas International) and Katrina (Bb. Pilipinas Tourism).

Any repeaters anyone? (Earth calling to 2012 runners-up, are you joining again? ;)) , ,
