While I was also equally giddy that Parul (who was for my case a wasted beauty at first until the Press Conference last Thursday for the 2014 batch) and Ann (reigning BBP-Tourism), I was kinda looking at Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up Hannah Ruth Sison and Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner Up Kimverlyn Suiza who I thought was worthy of a sash to represent the Philippines as well.
But as we all know, Runners-up in BPCI are the ladies in waiting if the main winners are not available (whether they are resigned, dethroned et. al) which Hannah and Kim are tasked to do. If they were a bit younger, we might ask them to join next year, but sadly, they are not.
I'm kinda praying for the two to represent the country, are you with me?

John De La Vega, National Director of Miss Grand Philippines breaks his silence |
Before the reported Press Conference of Bb. Pilipinas today, John De La Vega took it on his Facebook account to wish Madam Stella Marquez Araneta luck as it now holds the Miss Grand Philippines franchise, ending the rumors which started when Miss Grand International founder Nawat Itsaragrisil posted the logo of the Bb. Pilipinas pageant.
Now, who shall Madam appoint? Will it be Bb. Pilipinas Tourism 2015 Ann Lorraine Colis, Bb. Pilipinas 2015 1st Runner Up Hannah Ruth Sison or last year's winner of Bb. Pilpinas Tourism Parul Shah?

New Franchise for Bb. Pilipinas?
Unknown
7:48 PM
Pageant fans here in the Philippines grew wild when Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil, franchise owner of Miss Grand International posted a logo of the Bb. Pilipinas pageant.
The Facebook account was confirmed to be Nawat's official presence which sparked rumors that Miss Grand Philippines will officially be with Bb. Pilipinas probably next year and rumors even sparked that Hannah Ruth Sison (to which she denied herself) will be competing in Miss Grand International 2015.
Truth be told, Nawat has been on all types of controversies already, Miss Earth Organization has decided to drop him as franchise owner for that leaving Sasi Sintawee behind, but if this would materialize eventually, your blogger would want to have the thought of Ann Lorraine Colis or Parul Shah (BBP-Tourism 2014) joining. If not let's keep our fingers crossed for another Miss Tourism Queen International please? Ann Lorraine Colis , Bb. Pilipinas , Miss Grand International , Nawat Itsaragrisil
Sunday Throwback: The Very First Miss Earth Court

As the Miss Earth Organization celebrates its 15th Year, Your blogger goes down to memory lane as it features the elemental court from Miss Earth 2001 held last October 28, 2001 at the UP Theater, then won by Denmark’s Catharina Svensson.
Below is the picture featuring the very first Miss Earth Elemental Court back when they were crowned in the Philippines:
Below was also the throwback posted by the Miss Earth Organization: The very first Miss Earth desk calendar featuring the 2001 court which includes Catharina (Miss Earth), Simone (Miss Earth - Wind), Margarita (Miss Earth - Water) and Daniela (Miss Earth-Fire)
Indeed, Carousel Productions through the Miss Earth Organization has indeed became successful with their respective advocacies for the last 15 years and as the excitement rears the 15th Edition to be held on Vienna, Austria on December 5, we congratulate the Miss Earth Org for withstanding the trials and maintaining its cause amidst every trial that may came their way.
Who would Jamie Herrell of the Philippines crown on Austria? How will Angelia Ong, Miss Philippines Earth 2015 fair? Will another Catharina Svennson or Tereza Fajksova (ME 2012) rise to the top in Austria?
