exactly my point...
also... barbie salvador (almost consistent... 80% of the time IMO)

Bubbles, those who were there to witness the event said that it's Umali who's really the standout aside from Gerbasch, Cari and sometimes Sandra. The pictures does not show the real Umali. According to them, Umali is the most beautiful and is flawless. Although, Sandra is still my bet for Miss Universe, Umali for Miss World/International/Universe. However, Gerbasch replaced Cari (in my top 3) for Miss International.

you convinced me to put umali in my top 3

**Taxi** Wed Mar 04, 2009 11:03 am

Umali is definitely the one. I will be terribly hurt if she doesn't get one of the crown. She is my major favorite. I hope she won't be wasted like Anna Lapenko. I remember last year my Kristelle Lazarro didn't even make the cut.

To all Filipinos, does Kristelle have any plan on joining Binibininb Pilipinas again? I miss her. Sad

Jaws drop at Bb. Pilipinas parade
By Armin Adina
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 23:56:00 03/02/2009
Filed Under: Entertainment (general)

MANILA, Philippines—“The most beautiful batch of ladies” was how Paolo Bediones described this year’s roster of Binibining Pilipinas candidates.

Paolo, who’s hosting the annual pageant with Iza Calzado, sounded very sincere — and not just because his girlfriend is rejoining the contest.

Jaws dropped as the ladies paraded in their red printed peek-a-boo Mossimo swimwear at the Sunset Pavilion of Hotel Sofitel Philippine Plaza in Pasay City last week. Pageant veterans, show biz figures and audacious newcomers are among this year’s contestants.

Paolo’s girlfriend, Abegail Cruz, was second runner up in 2007 and a GMA 7 talent. She is joined by Bianca Paz, who is Polo Ravales’ current flame. Also in the roster is Carisheila Kuijpers, Joross Gamboa’s rumored sweetheart and Estee Lauder Model Search winner in Malaysia.

Other returning candidates are former semifinalists Marie-Ann Umali and Jaysel Arrozal and Miss Philippines-Earth semifinalist and Mutya ng Pilipinas runner up April Love Jordan.

The following local beauty title holders have gotten into the fray: reigning Miss Bicolandia Melody Gersbach; Mutya ning Kapampangan 2007 and former Bb. Pilipinas contestant Keann Mallari; Miss Oriental Mindoro 2007 Diana Arevalo; Miss Cebu 2006 Stephanie Señires; Miss Makati 2006 Marie Lorraine de Guzman; Miss Cebu runner-up Priscilla Mae Honorio; and Quezon City queen Gizelle Rivamonte.

The competition could be made tougher by Regina Hahn, Miss Universe runner-up Chiqui Brosas-Hahn’s daughter, and Bianca Manalo, Miss World finalist Katherine Manalo’s sister and niece of Nini Licaros, the first woman to be crowned Bb. Pilipinas-International.

To make the judges’ job even more difficult are former “Walang Tulugan” host Sandra Seifert, “Starstruck” contestant Rich Asuncion (who’s using her real name Richell Angalot) and Miss Teen Philippines runner-up Priscilla Navidad, the hearing-impaired teen housemate in “Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition.”

Neophytes Barbara Salvador and Cheryl Oliveros, on the other hand, might stage upsets.

The pageant selects the country’s official representatives to the Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss International beauty contests.

The outgoing queens are hopeful that this year’s batch will produce winners abroad. Although they have their own bets, they all agree that the contestants are all beautiful and intelligent.

Miss International semifinalist Patricia Fernandez sees at least three contenders who could be short-listed for her title. “I noticed that judges in the Miss International focus on the eyes. They also do not want heavy or muscular women. They prefer cute and charming ladies,” Patricia told the Inquirer.

Danielle Castaño, who replaced Janina San Miguel as the country’s Miss World bet, thinks of four contestants who could inherit her title. “Miss World judges look for someone athletic, who could attract attention right away. She must also be humble, nice and a good role model for the youth,” said Danielle.

Jennifer Barrientos finds two ladies who fit the Miss Universe standards. “In Miss Universe, most of the ladies have modeling backgrounds. But they are not super thin. They are super sexy with a lot of character. They also embody the country they represent,” Jennifer said.

The coronation night is on March 7, 7:30 p.m. at the Araneta Coliseum. GMA 7 airs the event at 10 on the same night.

HighSpeed
Bb. Pilipinas 7 favorites
Ronald Constantino

SEVEN FAVORITES – All eyes are focused on the current batch of Bb. Pilipinas candidates and Highspeed’s very own beauty expert, Jay P. Delgado, picks his seven favorites. JPD’s piece:

On Saturday night, March 7, at the Big Dome, a distinguished panel of judges – celebrities all in the fields of government, business, and the arts – will face the daunting task of choosing the fairest ladies in the land from a gorgeous bevy of 24 Bb. Pilipinas candidates.

This writer has personally picked seven girls who are most likely to make it to the finals based on how well they register on camera and on stage, and how they have come across as beautiful ladies inside out. They are:Pamela Bianca Ramos Manalo – A 22-year-old PAL flight attendant from Parañaque City, Bianca hopes to complete her family’s Bb. Pilipinas legacy; her older sister Kate Manalo-Hernandez was Bb. Pilipinas and Miss World Top 10 finalist in 2002 while her aunt, former Makati councilor Nini Ramos-Licaros was Bb. Pilipinas and Miss International top 15 semi-finalist in 1968.Sandra Inez Suravilla Seifert – A 25-year-old registered nurse who completed her studies in New York. Sandra was born in Taiwan to a German father, grew up in her mom’s native Bacolod City and speaks five languages: German, French, Spanish, Tagalog, and English. Sandra was also the Philippines’ representative to the Elite Model Look International search in 1998 when she was only 14. She also co-hosted ‘Master Showman Presents: Walang Tulugan’ in 2002.Jaysel Morelos Arrozal – An 18-year-old Sangguniang Kabataan chairman in Valenzuela City. Jaysel was a Bb. Pilipinas top 10 finalist last year and raring to take one of the crowns this year. She plans to go into public service and is contemplating on running for a post at the Valenzuela City Council next year.Abigail Lesley Grivas Cruz – A 24-year-old model and GMA contract artist. Abby won as Bb. Pilipinas runner-up and Best in Swimsuit in 2007. She is the current girlfriend of Paolo Bediones whose professionalism will be put to test as he (together with Iza Calzado) hosts this year’s pageant.

Richell Pacaldo Angalot aka Rich Asuncion – A 20-year-old artist of GMA Talent Center, Rich has worn different roles on TV and hopes to wear the Bb. Pilipinas crown this year to fulfill her childhood dream.Vanessa Balajadia Johnson – A 21-year-old Filipino-American from San Diego, California, whose mother is a native of Apalit, Pampanga. Joining Bb. Pilipinas for her is a good way to start tracing her Filipino roots.

Regina Brosas-Hahn – The oldest contestant at 26, Regina is a half-German project manager who hopes to continue her family’s pageant legacy, her mom being Rosemarie ‘Chiqui’ Brosas-Hahn, 1975 Bb. Pilipinas and Miss Universe fourth runner-up.
