34 girls vie for Binibining Pilipinas 2015 pageant

-

BEAUTIES GALORE --- Some of the 34 official candidates of the 2015 Bb. Pilipinas who were selected during  final screening at the Balay, Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City last January 10.
The 2015 pageant season kicked off with the announcement of the official candidates for the Bb. Pilipinas pageant at the Balay Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City last January 10.

Call time for the media was 3 p.m. But the final screening started at 5 p.m. with delicious snacks and dinner served to us.

Among those who joined the judges panel include Stella Marquez Araneta, chair of the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc., and the reigning Binibinis except for Mary Jean Lastimosa who is competing in the 63rd Miss Universe contest in Miami, Florida.

One by one the girls started to arrive. Some came early, some were late. Several media men in the area were giving personal scores to the girls who passed by the tables as they headed for the fitting room.
Finally, the final screening started.

First the girls paraded in the swimsuit of their choice and introduced themselves to the judges. Many girls have good communication skills. But some of them looked funny and awful in their swimsuits.  
Time to deliberate on the judges' choices.

From 66 applicants, the girls were trimmed down to 34 bets. There were many familiar names and fresh faces. But I must admit that many of those who made the cut were ready and competitive.

This year's official candidates are Samantha Barbara Balbin, Marvi Ann Razon de Lima, Teresita Sen Marquez, Namrata Neesha Murjani, Christi Lynn Landrito McGarry, Hannah Ruth Sison, Annabel Christine Tia, Toni Alyessa Hipolito, Alaiza Flor Malinao, Ria Rabajante, Princess Joy Camu, Mia Allyson Hernandez Howell, Jenny Feliz Gonzalez; Ann Lorraine Colis, Enrica Roxiele Guieb, Tanya Angelina Nicole Hyde, Ina Dominica Guerrero, Brenna Cassandra Gamboa, Kimberle Mae Penchon, Kimverlyn Suiza, Crissa Mae Mendiola, Anja Vannesa Peter, Christine Balaguer; Rogelie Catacutan, Pia Wurtzbach, Nancy Lee Leonard, Mae Liezel Ramos, Janicel Lubina, Danita Joan Ruazol, Paula Rich Bartolome, Justine Felizarta, Patricia Lae Ejercitado, Renee Sorya Hassani and Kylie Versoza.

 The grand coronation night of the 2015 Bb. Pilipinas pageant will be held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao on March 15, 2015.

 I felt disappointed that 2012 Bb. Pilipinas runner-up Ali Forbes did not make the cut. As she left the Balay, I dashed to her for an exclusive interview. But the moment I asked her a question, she shed tears. Ali tried to talk but her disappointment simply made it uneasy for her to continue. I felt guilty that I talked to her because she looked alright when I approached her. Yet she started to cry when I talked to her.

I know Ali is a strong girl. And maybe God has other plans for her.

Despite the snub, I think Ali is still truly blessed having won third runner-up in 2013 Miss Grand International pageant in Bangkok, Thailand, she is the host of the reality show "Pinoy Beauty Queen," and she has a promising showbiz career. You go girl!

To Ali and the rest of the beauties, good luck and God bless! - 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

Actor Piolo Pascual has said that his relationship with actress Shaina Magdayao is open as they don't hide anything from each other. "What's good about our relationship is that we are really open. We don't keep anything from each other. So I say what is true, what is sincere, what is right, what is honest and you'll never go wrong," said Pascual, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS-CBN recently.
