Meet the 2014 Bb Pilipinas Official Candidates

It's going to be a very special edition of the Bb. Pilipinas Pageant this year with no less than the reigning Miss Universe Gabriela Isler of Venezuela jetting in as a member of the judging panel and ,together with Ara Arida, will crown the Philippines' bet for the 2014 Miss Universe Pageant set in Brazil later this year

Joining Gabriela Isler in her goodwill visit is the Miss Universe Organization's President, Paula Shugart. 

Together with the other Binibini winners,they will turn over the monetary donations they have raised for the victims of the recent quake and super typhoon

Pageant fans around the world are now abuzz that Paula and Gabriela's presence is a confirmation that the Philippines is getting special treatment from the Miss Universe organizers.  

I beg to disagree. The reason is very simple actually. 

With the Philippines finally getting its first Miss World crown and the strong bid of Miss World Organization led by its president Julia Morley to have the Philippines host this year's Miss World finals, the MUO had to protect its market interest, audience share & advertising revenues here by doing an aggressive marketing counterstrike and neutralize the media buzz created by Miss World

Here now are the 40 Official Candidates for the 2014 Binibining Pilipinas Pageant set on March 30, 2014, at the Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City and telecast over ABS CBN Channel 2

Will the next Miss Universe come from this competitive batch? Who will sizzle and who will fizzle in the last dying seconds of the Bb Pilipinas Pageant!

I want to hear from you
