Former Binibini Nelda Ibe to join Miss World PHL pageant?

-


Is former Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2017 Nelda Ibe, who won 1st runner-up in the Miss Globe 2017 beauty contest in Albania, really giving Miss World Philippines pageant another shot?

This after Ibe announced on Instagram that many people were encouraging her to compete again in Miss World Philippines contest this year.

"Many are encouraging me to give it a try for the second time around and I don’t want to regret anything in my life," Ibe said on Instagram.


"I’m more than ready for another challenge. Yes I conquered the globe but my heart, my purpose and my story is worth sharing back to my first love, Miss World. Yes to Miss World Philippines," she added.

Supporters of Ibe appeared excited on her planned journey to the national pageant based on comments on social media.

But some supporters cast doubt on the news because it was shared on IG on April Fool's Day.

Just one day after Ibe made the announcement, the beauty queen closed the comments section of her Instagram but she retained her post.


Known as the Pilot Beauty Queen of Bb. Pilipinas 2017, Ibe's new hint was in contrast to her earlier statement that she would focus on aviation after Bb. Pilipinas.

Two months before Ibe relinquished her Binibini crown, Ibe said that she wanted to become a pilot. She added that she did not pursue the television offer anymore to return as co-host in the popular Kapuso game show "Wowowin" with Willie Revillame.

"Babalik ako sa aviation," said Ibe in January during an exclusive interview for Manila Bulletin/Tempo. "I'm continuing my exams for my commercial license pilot and then renewal na lang ng mga licenses."


However, it appeared that Ibe has changed her plans. She also described her stint in Bb. Pilipinas as "incredible."

"It's incredible and I've changed a lot. I've grown as a person. Sa mga experience naman kasi matututo ang isang babae. No regrets na sumali ako. Since childhood, dream ko naman maging beauty queen," she said.

The Binibining Pilipinas and Miss World Philippines pageants are perceived as strong rivals in beauty contests.


Ibe first competed in Miss World Philippines 2014 pageant where she was named second princess. In the same batch, Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters won fourth princess. The contest was won by television personality Valerie Weigmann.

The Miss World Philippines Organization has yet to release details of this year's screening and competition.

Ibe graduated with a BA degree in English from Tarlac University. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
