PH Victory to Miss Earth 2015 was my 2015 Highlight

I would like to greet all my readers - consistently reading Beauty Queens Online a Happy New Year.

My love for pageants came around 5 years ago, I was a fan of then Bb. Pilipinas International 2010 Krista Eileen Kleiner and the rest was history.

2015 saw a lot of crowns for the Philippines, but for me the highlight would be Angelia Ong doing the unimaginable back-to-back for the Philippines at the recent Miss Earth 2015.

Praying for a blissful 2016 for all those who had been dropping by my humble abode.

Your blogger,

There is a Doll Version of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.

Ian Mendajar (@ianlorenz on IG) has posted on his account a Pia doll, complete with her Finals gown and the DIC crown.

He has also created another version also of Pia Wurtzbach (see below):

Throughout the time I've been following Bb. Pilipinas, I wasn't sold on those termed to be "repeaters" except for those who I really found to be a standout, one of them is Emma Mary Tiglao.

Emma is still in the running for all crowns, however, she placed as Miss World Philippines 4th Princess for 2015 which may become a factor for her not to join this year's Nationals, but your blogger has really seen a large improvement over the time she joined Binibini in 2014.

Should she commit this time around or wait for Bb. Pilipinas 2017? This may seem to be a neck on neck battle for this coming 2016. Bb. Pilipinas 2016 , Emma Tiglao , Miss World Philippines 2015

With the recent success during the very first BPCI stint to Miss Grand International 2015 after appointing Parul Shah, 2014 Bb. Pilipinas Tourism, minds are now thinking, will Miss Grand Philippines (Bb. Pilipinas Grand International) be included in the 2016 titles at stake?

My guess is reserved probably until BPCI sends its confirmation, for now, it is probably one of those fulfilling experiences for Parul to have an international representation for the Philippines and later on finish as 3rd Runner Up to Anea Garcia of Dominican Republic.

It's almost another Binibini season again, after the victory of Pia Wurtzbach in the recent Miss Universe, The Search will now be on for the 2016 Bb. Pilipinas Queens. If there is one lady whom I hope to get to try it again, it will have to be 2014 Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up Laura Victoria Lehmann.

Laura has been busy this year with her studies and courtside reporting at Ateneo De Manila University for UAAP Season 78, while I am not sure if Laura will be keen on joining again, she is qualified for all 6 titles available for grabs as she is around 22 years old as of this writing.

While we wait for those who will submit their applications, here is Laura's Web Interview during the 2014 Bb. Pilipinas.

Jamie Herrell and Angelia Gabrena Ong for Leo Almodal

When Miss Earth 2015 came about, even your blogger never expected a back-to-back, Jamie Herrell was a worthy Miss Earth queen for 2014, while Angelia managed to impress me all the time, I placed her with at least an elemental finish.

It's so great to be wrong.

Just this month, Angelia competed what seemed to be impossible - a back-to-back Miss Earth crown for the Philippines. Expect that Angelia would start her journey as the Miss Earth queen soon.

Now how about the quest for the next Miss Philippines Earth 2016? Is a Back to Back to Back for Miss Earth 2016 possible? Angelia Ong , Jamie Herrell , Miss Earth 2016 , Miss Philippines Earth 2016

One more beauty queen is set to compete during the New Year's Eve with Leren Mae Bautista. Leren from the Mutya ng Pilipinas Organization is already in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the competition. She has won for herself two subsidiary titles: Best in Runway and Miss KL Sogo Trendsetter.

I really hope Filipinos will keep supporting her for the top crown in MTQYI 2015, your blogger feels Leren is extra motivated after the victory of fellow Filipina Pia Wurtzbach.

From Paulina to Pia, the next queen of the Universe

Despite the controversial ending, Filipinos are still giddy of the fact that after 42 years, the Miss Universe was back in the Philippines. The photo above shows outgoing queen Paulina Vega crowning Pia Wurtzbach, all be it in a way she herself may not expected it as well.

This year turned out to be better, we had a Miss Universe, Miss Globe, Miss International Queen, Miss Earth, Miss Scuba International, a 1st Runner Up finish in Miss Intercontinental to say the least. Miss Universe , Paulina Vega , Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach

The pageant season has ended and the 2015 Bb. Pilipinas batch surely accomplished a lot, capped by the victory of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.

Ann Lorraine Colis - Miss Globe 2015
Christi Lynn McGarry - Miss Intercontinental 2015 1st Runner Up

Rogelie Catacutan - Miss Supranational 2015 Top 20
Parul Shah - Bb. Pilipinas Tourism 2014/Miss Grand Philippines 2015, Miss Grand International 2015 3rd Runner Up

Arguably, the batch assembled during March 2015 will set the bar for the 2016 hopefuls which according to the BPCI Official account will start soon. Ann Lorraine Colis , Bb. Pilipinas 2015 , Christi Lynn McGarry , Janicel Lubina , Parul Shah , Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach , Rogelie Catacutan

Call it weird especially how the Miss Universe contest unfolded, when Steve Harley announced that the Miss Universe 2015 is Colombia's Ariadna Gutierrez but I admire the host for acknowledging his mistake and eventually announcing that the winner of this year's Miss Universe is Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

It didn't came easy for the 26 year old Beauty Queen, having to join Bb. Pilipinas thrice (2013, 2014 before eventually landing the title in 2015), Pia was a picture of persistence and admiration, something women can take into.

More posts to come while I try to compose myself. Ariadna Gutierrez , Miss Universe 2015 , Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach

Every year, Miss Universe fans are waiting for the glamshot of renowned photographer Fadil Berisha.

This year, the theme of the concept is "Casino Royale", with Miss Universe Philippines Pia Wurtzbach shining like a true blue James Bond girl.

The gown meanwhile created a different impression on netizens following Miss Universe. Surely, we wanted the best gown for this year's Miss Universe Philippines bet.

Back-to-back for the Philippines: Angelia Ong is Miss Earth 2015

A back-to-back feat has always been hard to achieve in any beauty pageant and for Angelia Ong, going in to Austria to represent the country as Miss Philippines for Miss Earth 2015 meant expectations to go at par with Jamie Herrell, and on December 5, CET, Angelia managed to do even what Filipinos never expected her to achieve, bringing back to the country the Miss Earth crown.

Angelia is the 15th Miss Earth Queen with Dayana Grageda (Australia) as Miss Earth Air, Brittany Ann Payne (USA) as Miss Earth Water and Thiessa Sickert (Brazil) as Miss Earth Fire.

Bb. Pilipinas feted the last 2 of the 2015 queens in a joint send-off before their journey to the crown: Miss Universe Philippines Pia Wurtzbach and Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental Christi Lynn McGarry had their send-off hosted in the pool and bar lounge at the newly-opened Novotel Manila, Araneta Center in Quezon City.

Pia and Christi were flanked by their Binibini 2015 sisters: Bb. Pilipinas International Janicel Lubina, Miss Globe Ann Colis, Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up Hannah Ruth Sison and Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner Up Kimverlyn Suiza. Also lending her support to the event was Bb. Pilipinas International 2014 Bianca Guidotti who was Pia's 2014 batchmate.

All eyes would be on this 2 ladies: the comeback of Christi in Miss Intercontinental and the attempt of Pia to nail the crown for the Philippines at the 64th Edition of the Miss Universe Pageant.

The Miss Earth delegates were in their National Costume for the OBB Shoot of Miss Earth 2015 Finals.

Though I do not predict a back-to-back, I like the way Angelia is on her game in Austria, of course, we would like to be wrong, I am hoping for an elemental finish at the end of the contest. (May the stars align for Angelia!)
