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.

Bea Rose Santiago: Will she bring the Philippines another Miss International crown

 

From 2008, the Philippines had always been on the semifinalist of Miss International, that is Pat Fernandez (2008), the late Melody Gersbach (2009), Krista Kleiner (2010), Dianne Necio (2011) and Nicole Schmitz (2012) which makes Philippines one of the powerhouses in MI, this year, BPCI will be sending Bea Rose Monterde Santiago, Bb. Pilipinas International 2013 to Tokyo, Japan come December 17.

Bea is not new to winning pageants, she was Mutya ng Pilipinas 2011 Overseas Communities and she was the country's representative to Miss Tourism Queen of the Year 2012 prior to joining BBP Gold. When it comes to her pasarela and movement, it is well taken cared of during their training. Q&A isn't a problem for this lady, check out his previous interview with Boy Abunda for Ikaw Na:


Can she win the Miss International crown? My gut feel says YES :)

Roxanne Corluy & Samantha Purvor: The Earth Beauties going Miss Resorts World Manila way

Roxanne Corluy 

Roxanne Corluy, who was a runner-up to Miss Philippines-Earth 2012 representing Filipino Community of Belgium tries her luck at Miss Resorts World Manila. Corluy was also a semifinalist in Mutya ng Pilipinas 2011.
 Samantha Purvor 

Samantha Purvor is probably a name that has been familiar to most pageant fans, having joined Bb. Pilipinas 2011, Miss World Philippines 2011 and Miss Philippines-Earth 2012 where she was crowned as Miss Philippines Water, this is considerably her last shot for a beauty pageant victory say the least as she is already 26 years old.

Will this MPE beauties be successful like Michelle Gavagan who was adjudged as Miss RWM 2012 1st RU and succeed reigning Miss Resorts World Manila 2012 Alexandra Salmeron?

Ariella Arida MU Picture: What do you think about it?

image 

Currently adoring the new picture sent by Bb. Pilipinas of our dear Miss Universe Philippines Ariella Arida, this is far better than the first picture sent by BPCI where our very own Ara got too much bashing (picture was real awful actually). I look forward to this kind of styling or even greater for Ara as she is set for a send-off and towards her Russia journey which would start on October 21 (the day she leaves for Moscow).

Czarina Rosales: Miss Asia Pacific World 2013

image 
imageWith a new rebranding, Miss Asia Pacific World tries to do away with all the backlash it has experienced and has combined the original beauty contest with a talent competition (thus the Super Talent Endeavor). For this year, local organizers for MAPW appointed Czarina Rose Bautista Rosales as this year's Miss Asia Pacific World 2013.

Czarina, if the name does ring a bell was a finalist in the first Star In A Million won by Erik Santos. She did several songs (try listening to her cover of "If I Didn't Love You") and has entered the recording scene with Gloc 9. 

On the beauty pageant arena, Czarina was a runner-up at the recent Miss Tourism World Philippines (MTWP-NCR) and for me she can conquer this MAPW competition because of her talent as a singer.
The Miss Asia Pacific World Super Talent Endeavor 2013 will hold its finals night on the 30th of October, Best of Luck to Czarina! :)
