A Tougher Miss International 2014

mi2014a

There are a lot of changes in the format of the 54th Miss International Beauty Pageant which makes this year's competition something to look forward to.

a) Instead of the usual 15 or 12 Finalists, only 10 will move to the "speech" round, a tougher finals for Miss International Philippines Bianca Guidotti.

b) In place of the Top 3 winners (like last year with Bea Rose Santiago, Nathalie Den Dekker and Casey Radley), there would be 5 declared winners this year. The Miss International up to the 4th Runner Up will stay in Japan until November 19.

c) Aside from the Miss National Costume and Miss Friendship 2014, there are 3 other awards:
 - Miss Internet Beauty 2014 
 - Miss Perfect Body 2014
 - Best Dresser 2014 

You can start voting for Miss Philippines Bianca Guidotti via this link: Miss Philippines Bianca Guidotti. Voting is once a day and you could use your computers, laptops and tablets with a different IP addresses.

Bb. Pilipinas 2014: Will Laura Lehmann and Hannah Sison join the pageant fun as well?

Apart from the 4 other crowned queens, noticeable during the send-off of Miss Philippines-International Bianca Guidotti are the runners-up, Laura Lehmann and Hannah Ruth Sison. The two clearly knew their tasks for this year and are doing it well.

Laura, a courtside reporter for Ateneo De Manila University finds time to juggle studies and her duties while Hannah has taken a temporary leave from teaching and went on to be much more visible during the Binibini events. 

Clearly, there is no pageant assignment for the two (we still have Parul who may not be competing because of a cancelled MTQI) so I am wondering if we get to see the two competing once more for the crown. Hannah can still compete this year while the younger Lau may opt to wait for 2 more years.

What do you think dear readers?

Bianca Guidotti Send-off for Miss International 2014

Bianca Guidotti recently had her send-off before leaving for Tokyo on Saturday, October 25 and it was a fitting tribute like no other filled with the love of her family and her Binibini sisters (MJ, Kris, Parul, Yvethe, Laura and Hannah), Bianca will definitely go to her journey confident and a stand-out.

The task at hand of bringing the 6th Miss International crown for the Philippines may seem to be daunting but Bianca believes it is doable. She will be with the reigning Miss International Bea Santiago for most of the pre-pageant events, something she can look forward to while there in Tokyo.

Miss International is known for its "speech" part, answering the question why you want to be Miss International: Your blogger thinks Bianca will have that portion filled with heart since she had a background of humanitarian work (NGO).

Punika Kulsoontornrut: Getting ready for Miss International 2014

Punika Kulsoontornrut is getting ready to depart for Tokyo to be part of the Miss International 2014.

Regardless of what her reasons maybe for foregoing an ongoing contract with Carousel Productions as Miss Earth Water 2013, she asks that everyone respect her decision. She knows that there are a lot of fans who were shocked that she had to breach her contract that lead to an eventual dethronement just a week back.

The former Miss Earth Water 2013 is out to give Thailand its first MI crown and would be up against Miss Philippines-International Bianca Guidotti.

Goodluck on that journey Polly! and may you have the chance to be friends with our dear Bianca.

Miss Earth Water Punika Kulsoontornrut dethroned



Miss Earth Water 2013 Punika Kulsoontornrut is no longer the reigning Miss Earth Water after she was dethroned by the Philippines-based organizers, Carousel Productions for violating the contract stipulated of a Miss Earth Winner (the crowned queen and the 3 elemental queens). 

Kulsoontornrut was handed a letter informing of her dethronement after joining Miss International, where according to their contract, a Miss Earth Winner would have to finish her year's reign before entering another competition.

According to reports, Kulsoontornrut was given ample time to withdraw by Miss Earth but seemed to have no intention of withdrawing so the dethronement decision has been reached.

Should Polly be part of Miss International 2014, she would be facing off with Bb. Pilipinas-International Bianca Guidotti to try to succeed Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago in Tokyo, Japan.
