Cindy, Ara and Bea: Ready to conquer the global stage (Photo credit: OPMB Worldwide)
The three other Binibini Gold Winners will be taking on their respective contests abroad - Cindy Miranda will be going to Miss Tourism Queen International in China (October 10 Finals), Ara Arida will be going to Miss Universe in Moscow (November 9 Finals) and Bea Rose Santiago will be going to Miss International in Japan (December 17 Finals).
Admittedly, there is a tremendous amount expectations to the three Binibini queens as it was started by Mutya Johanna Datul who won Miss Supranational 2013. However, I would like to keep my expectations in check, cheer for these queens and win or lose, be proud of them representing the Filipinos in the global stage.
I am sure BPCI, Jonas Gaffud camp (A&Q for Ara Arida and Cindy Miranda) and Rodgil Flores (Kagandahang Flores for Bea Rose Santiago) have been pushing this ladies to be at the best of their game.
Sophie Moulds, Miss World 2012 1st RU representing Wales will be representing United Kingdom to the Miss International 2013.
Moulds, 19 was just points away from conquering the Miss World crown which was won by Wenxia Yu. She is one of the few ladies whom I consider as the heavy favorites for the title Miss International 2013, currently held by the reigning queen Ikumi Yoshimatsu.
The finals of Miss International 2013 will happen for the second straight year in Japan where Philippines will be bannered by Bea Rose Santiago, Bb. Pilipinas - International 2013.
This is to interrupt you all and invite you to predict the Miss World 2013 and her 2 Princesses in Norman's Blog. Yours truly has sent an email to norman.blogsite@gmail.com and I believe we would all have fun in this contest.
Who will succeed Wenxia Yu as Miss World 2013? Finals Night will be on September 28 (and we do send out the best for Megan Young)

In case you missed the crowning moment, here it is:
Miss World 2013 has not gotten yet into full swing but Korea is making its preparations for Miss World 2016.
A 3 year preparation will probably be more than enough for Korea and what makes this exciting is that Asian countries had been prominently hosting major beauty pageants (keeping fingers crossed that Philippines will get to host someday)
