These one-on-one interviews were conducted just few days after they were crowned at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon on April 30, 2017. In this article, the queens paid tribute to their mothers and single moms prior to Mother's Day celebration. Miss Universe Philippines Rachel Peters says her mother always taught them the value of hard work. "She led a very simple childhood in a very small town in Bicol. They didn't have much but she has lots of brothers and sisters. They were a big family. She moved to Bahrain where she met my dad. She and my dad came from a very different background. He's from England and she's from the Philippines; "Growing up, I get the best of both worlds because they taught me the values that were important to each of them.

It's that time of the year when some of the candidates of the Bb. Pilipinas beauty contest treat their fans, pageant enthusiasts and the media to an afternoon of entertainment. Fifteen of the 40 candidates of the Binibining Pilipinas 2018 pageant danced, sang and played instruments to a packed and appreciative crowd during the talent competition held at the Farmer's Plaza in Cubao last February 10. Although the result of the talent show will have no bearing in the finals, the girls made extra effort to present their individual talents. The winner of the Miss Talent special award will be announced during the grand coronation of the Bb. Pilipinas 2018 pageant at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on March 18. The one-hour show was hosted by reigning Binibinis Elizabeth Clenci, 2nd runner-up, Miss Grand International 2018; and Chanel Olive Thomas, Miss Supranational 2018 semi-finalist. The girls were judged by Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. Chairperson Stella ...

Reigning beauty queens of Bb. Pilipinas got sentimental as they cherished the things they would miss most about their one-year stint in the prestigious pageant. "Sad to say, ma-mi miss ko 'yung mga bonding naming mga queens. 'Yung learning from one another, sharing of thoughts and ideas for our preparations," said Nelda Ibe, 1st runner-up at 2017 Miss Globe pageant, during an interview at the Kia Theater in Cubao, Quezon City recently. Ibe has also been offered to be a co-host for the game show "Wowowin" on GMA 7 but she did not pursue it.                                                                 Katarina Rodriguez "Hindi na po kasi babalik ako sa aviation," said Ibe, who is also known as the pilot beauty queen.

Miss Philippines Chanel Olive Thomas is living up to the title of Miss Friendship after she and some candidates rushed to Miss Peru who passed out while the winners for the Miss Supranational 2017 pageant were being announced live in Poland last Dec. 1 (Dec. 2 Manila time). The viral footage was not seen on television but several pageant fans who watched the show in Poland live recorded the incident through their cellphones and uploaded it on social media. In the video, Miss Peru Lesly Reyna fainted while the hosts were about to announce the winners of the competition. When Miss Peru passed out, some of the girls, including Thomas, helped her and brought her to an area near the backstage. Thomas stood a bit far from the commotion when she ran to the girls. Moments later, the Filipino-Australian beauty queen was seen rushing backstage apparently to seek medical assistance for Miss Peru. In the same video, a black candidate saw the incident but chose to ignore it. T...
