Bb Pilipinas 2012: Bonner's Final Review

**bonner** Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:14 pm

Presenting

My Review in 2010: HERE

I did not able to make a Review last year as i was busy for my Graduation

Note: This is according to my Knowledge in Bb Pilipinas , maybe im wrong in some part (I dont want to assume as i was a Pageant Expert) and sorry for my poor English

From the Road to Bb Pilipinas 2012 Thread I created, some Heavy names was mentioned to compete this year edition like Megan Young, Valerie Weignamnn, Karina Cabiling, Linda Buckland, Samantha Lewis, the comeback beauties of MJ Lastimosa & Janine Tugonon who was the Runners up last year , and it's now a trending that the previous runners up will resign just to compete again... Nicole Schmitz is one of the girl im waiting for and im glad she's back this year Edition.

More names and info's from the Road to Bb Pilipinas 2012 Thread HERE

30 Official Delegates was Selected, and No Megan,No Valerie, No Samantha, No Karina etc.. Some says this batch is weak..but for me this is better than the other Edition of BB

Here's the official Coverage of Bb Pilipinas in Pageant Mania HERE

The 30 Official Candidates according to their STATUS

Very Likely will snatch 1 of the crown

Spoiler

With some luck might pull-off a Carla Balingit

Note: Maxine Medina was disqualified due to her existing endorsement contract

Some FACT & PATTERN

Height is very important for the Bb Pilipinas-Universe,It's not just about the face but they also considering the height. In some previous Edition those pretty face but lack of height usually out in the semis... but they had more chance for the Bb Pilipinas-International title since Lara Quigaman won Miss International 2005 with her height 5'5.

Elaine Moll was the tallest 5'10 but it doesnt mean she's the clear winner for the Bb Pil -Universe title, she reminds me of Gwendoline Ruais in 2010 the tallest with a height of 6'0 feet but lack of spark and energy that's why she end as semifinalist only

5'7 above is ok for the Bb Pilipinas-Universe title.. 5'6 is 50/50 and below 5'6 dont have chance at all or maybe 10% chances. But has more chances for the Bb Pilipinas-International title.

Sometimes were just looking with their looks but never consider their age since some of us dont care at all. Age is also important in this pageant.

17 years old is not qualified for the Bb Pilipinas-Universe Title . So Nicole Marable is out in this title.

25 years old is not qualified for the Bb Pilipinas-International title (although 25 yrs old are qualified in MI title but since they might turn 26 this year so they dont have chance for this title anymore). But who knows?

24 yrs old is 50/50 for the Bb Pilipinas-International Title. This is my thought since last year Isabella ranking is higher than Dianne but Dianne Necio snatch this title instead of Isabella since she's now 24 and Dianne is only 18. I think they prefer younger girls for this title.

23 below has 100% chances for the Bb Pilipinas - International title. But 20 Below is 50/50 in Bb Pilipinas-Universe title (WHY), maybe because they dont have yet credentials and still studying... and some are fresh HS graduate.. It feels like they are also applying a job and those who are already professionals, Cumlaude graduate, has more chances for the Bb Pil-U title and of course most of them are 21 to 25 yrs old.

Beauty Types

With Foreign Blood, mestiza looks, or had been raised abroad.

Mestiza Beauty are usually send in Miss International pageant, in this century only 2 in my list that was classified as mestiza who snatch the Bb Pilipinas-Universe title (Gionna Cabrerea in 2005 & Venus Raj in 2010)

Dusky skin. Some say very Filipina beauty.

I included Mj here although she had an Arab descent still i find her skin dusky. As well as Katrina (actually i think Katrina is pure Filipina only she was raised in America and speak fluent English.

Morena beauty is IN and has more chances for the Bb Pilipinas-Universe than Bb Pilipinas-International Title.

Some Morena beauty was send in Miss Universe this century are

Nina Ricci Alagao (2000), Maricar Balagtas (2004), Lia Andrea Ramos (2006), Venus Raj (2010)

And some Morena beauty was send in Miss International

Denille Valmonte (2006)

Oriental beauty, those who has a fair complexion and porcelain skin. With Malay descent

This type of beauty is In in any of the title... but some oriental beauty looks latina like Shamcey Supsup, maybe because of the latination of our candidate before competing in Miss Universe where they need to go in Colombia or Venezuela as part of their training.

Experience

Before we can see only 1 to 2 Returnees in Bb Pilipinas or none in some edition but this year there are 6 returnees and 2 of them are the previous runner's up (first time in history that the 2 previous runner's up is competing on the same year)

Returnees Runner's Up in History:

Here's some Lucky girls from Runner's up then for the next try they snatch one of the crown

Desiree Verdadero - 1st RU in 1982 / Bb Pilipinas - Universe in 1984
Abygale Arenas - 1st RU in 1994 / Bb Pilipinas - Universe 1997
Margarete-Ann Bayot - 1st RU in 2002 / Bb Pilipinas - International 2004
Maricar Balagtas - Miss Close up smile in 2000/2nd RU in 2001/Bb Pilipinas - Universe in 2004
Dianne Necio - 1st RU in 2010/ Bb Pilipinas - International 2011

But not all the time that RU who competed again will automatically snatch one of the crown, like what happened to Aby Cruz (2nd RU in 2007 but not even in the semifinalist in 2009)

So lets Give Bonus Points to Mj & Janine

Some Previously Semifinalist who competed again is not that lucky enough.
Some stays as semifinalist again like Diana Arevalo (SF in 2009/SF in 2011), Jayzel Arrozal (SF in 2008/unplaced in 2009), Toni Hipolito (SF in 2008/unplaced in 2010).

Some unplaced before who competed again , some are lucky like Precious Lara Quigaman (unplaced in 2001?, and won Bb Pilipinas - International in 2005 and won Miss International 2005. Maricar Balagtas was also unplaced in 2000 then 2nd runner up in 2001 before winning Bb Pilipinas - Universe in 2004.

Patricia Ejercitado this year will try her luck (She's one of the favorite for the crown lets see if she will be the next Lara.

Those who competed in other well known National Pageants.

Some lucky cross over girls to name a few are Carlene Aguilar (Miss Phil-Earth 2001/Bb Pilipinas-World 2005). But some title holder like Zephora Mayon (Mutya ng Pilipinas 2007/dethroned) , Ana Marie Morelos (Mutya ng Pilipinas titleholder) competed in Bb Pilipinas but not even in the semifinalist. Some Runner's up also in Miss Phil-Earth who competed in Bb Pilipinas are not lucky to placed like Kristle Ann Grant (unplaced) & Patricia Tumulak (SF) last year.

Miss Bicolandia is one of the most prestigious regional pageant were some winners and runners up here did very well in Bb Pilipinas like Melody Gershbach, Venus Raj, Dianne Necio, Tabetha Jo Frick... lets see if Roxane Jesalva will do the same thing this year...

some girls already competed in some minor pageants... plus factor but it doesnt mean they will snatch 1 of the crown...

This two girls (there are rumor that they are not qualified for the Bb Pilipinas - Universe title because of citizenship issue, im not sure if this issue was true..anyway both of them won title abroad...

Every Province and city has Provincial pageants but not all Province participate in Bb Pilipinas.

From Town,well known Universities etc...

Some of them dont have yet experience in beauty pageants, some of them maybe a little bit from their schools. Newbie in pageants can also snatch one of the crown like Shamcey Supsup & Isabella Manjon last year.. It's just a matter of luck.

This is a plus factor specially for the Bb Pilipinas-Universe title. Well known and Top Universities in the Philippines are UP (University of the Philippines), Ateneo de Manila, University of Sto Tomas (UST), De lasalle University. Undergraduate and Fresh HS graduate not included (some dont have educational background on their profile)

Alicia Ariosa - Registered Nurse
Patricia Ejercitado - Licensed Interior Designer graduated in University of Sto Tomas
Nicole Schmitz - 2 degree holder Psychology & Law
MJ Lastimosa - Computer Engineering Graduate
Ayeele Dasalla - Registered Nurse
Janine Tugonon - Licensed Pharmacist ,Cumlaude graduate in UST
Roxane Tadique - Work as Public Accountant (graduated at De lasalle) Graduating at Ateneo for Her Law Degree
Giselle Munoz - took up Pre-Law in Ateneo, and Had a Law degree in UP
Goldy Baroa - Work as consultant and assistant of house representative, Communication Arts Graduate at La salle - Dasmarinas
Golda Soller - Licensed Medical Doctor
Mia Arcenas - Fashion Designer, Cumlaude graduate and studied in California
Sherlyn Gonzales - Work as Casino Online Dealer/ Mass Communication Graduate at Adamson University

*Background of past Bb Pil-Universe Titleholder

2011 - Shamcey Supsup (Licensed Architect, magna Cumlaude graduate at UP)
2010 - Venus Raj (Cumlaude graduate)
2009 - Bianca Manalo (Work as Flight Attendant)
2008 - Jennifer Barrientos (???)
2007 - Ana Teresa Licaros (Law graduate, magna cumlaude at UP)
2006 - Lia Andrea Ramos (UP Graduate)
2005 - Gionna Cabrerea (Model)

and so on...

The Awards

Talent Competition was optional, plus factor maybe. This past few years Best in Talent also advanced in top 5 like Shamcey (2011), Krista (2010), Rich (2009).

My guess for the best in talent this year was between Katrina Dimaranan and Ali Forbes but i prefer Ali (singer in real life)

No bearing. In 2010 I predicted Nicolette Henson to snatch this award. last year this award were unannounced but according to wikipedia Arabela Hanesh was the Miss Photogenic

This is one of the most important special award.. those who will get this is automatic part of the Top 5... or will snatch 1 of the crown...maybe because of the prize.

Miss PAL this past few years

2011: Shamcey Supsup - Bb Pilipinas - Universe
2010: Helen Nicolette Henson - 2nd runner up (reason maybe why she replaced Venus when she was dethroned)
2009: Bianca Manalo - Bb Pilipinas - Universe
2008: Danielle Castano - 1st runner up/assumed the Bb Pilipinas - World title
2007: Ana Teresa Licaros - Bb Pilipinas - Universe
2006: Lia Andrea Ramos - Bb Pilipinas - Universe
2005: Carlene Aguialr - Bb Pilipinas - World

The CAMPS

Girls competing in Bb Pilipinas was under in different Camps who trained them, enhance them that's why before screening they are already pageant ready.

Jonas Gaffud Camp

The strongest Camp every year. They usually snatch the Bb Pilipinas - Universe crown. like Zora (2001), Gionna (2005), Lia (2006), Tere (2007), Jennifer (2008), Venus (2010), Shamcey (2011). So expect her girls to continue the pattern.. but not all the time it happen.

Rodgil Flores Camp

Another popular camp and produced some queens already like Lara Quigaman (Miss International 2005). They usually snatch the Bb Pil-International, and some girls under him who snatch the Bb Pil-Universe crown are Karen (2002), Maricar (2004),Bianca (2009). Dianne Necio & Isabella Manjon was under him

John De La Vega Camp

Still new. Czarina Gatbonton (Bb Pil-World 2010) is one of his girls who snatch the major title. Janine Tugonon was originally from this camp last year... here his girls last year who did very well ,Luzelle Felipe (Best in gown SF), Sabrine Al Tawil (SF), Wendy Lucas (SF), Jen Roe Gubat (SF)

Jontie Martines Camp

Some of his talent are Janina San Miguel (Resigned Bb Pil-World 2008), April Love jordan (SF 2009), Martha Chloe Mc Culley

Ferbz Abejon, Gian Quiballo, & Oli Sara Camp

Small group that im supporting

Jess Juaniza Sorriano

Another small group

Independent girls

Independent girls has less chances but not all the time.. they might pull a surprise like Carla Balingit in 2003.

Possible Winners

For the Bb Pilipinas - Universe

EXPECTED

SUSPECTED

50/50

One of them will be this year Bb Pilipinas - Universe

For the Bb Pilipinas - International

Expected

Suspected

50/50

For the Bb Pilipinas - Tourism

Any of them has a chance for this title or very likely those alternates of the other title will snatch this crown

Twist

Unrated girls who might pull a surprise.

Giselle Munoz - With her credentials, Intelligence. if this girl will enter the semis..then she might rank #1 on the Q&A portion and there is possibility that she might be a runner up.

The rest is possible runner up... Possible Semifinalist (so many girls so little space in the semis so this girls is 50/50 but might pull a surprise)

Every year so many wasted beauties in Bb, some of them are favorites, but sometimes at the end they were overlook and will not able to penetrate the semis...
