After watching
last Sunday’s Bb Pilipinas Primer shown on ABS CBN Channel 2, a major shake up
in my final prediction list was simply inevitable
Some of the so-
called frontrunners and heavy faves came tumbling down and some came out from
nowhere to stake a claim for one of the five Binibini crowns at stake this
year. In other words, some sizzled and some fizzled out
THE HEAVY FAVORITES
I am now a major
Laura Victoria Lehmann convert after watching and listening to her during the
TV primer. The television cameras simply love her and boy! Can the girl talk!
Love the way she expresses herself.
Kris Janson
wowed me too with her delicate Castilian features. Yvethe Marie is a big wow
too and she opened the whole shebang with a strong and marvelous presentation.
Beauty & brains indeed.
Hannah Sison was
a revelation also. She came across as a modern Filipina who is successful in
her chosen career.
PiaWurztbach is
safely up there too. Bianca Guidotti came out as endearing and warm and very
genuine. MJ and Diane are within striking distance
Parul Shah keeps
mesmerizing everyone with her dazzling smile and she smolders with her sensuous
& sexy presence
Finally, my sentimental favorite is Joy Marie Gangan who just might squeeze in
the winners’ circle if only because her beauty is the type that would find
favor with the male- dominated judging panel.
THE REIGNING
QUEENS
Bea Rose stood
out for her hosting skills. Ara was pure delight when she mentored the girls on
make up tips. Mutya was a very pleasant Binibini who was very profuse with her
praises and words of encouragement for the girls. On the other hand, for
someone who has had prior TV hosting gigs, Cindy was quite a letdown but
nevertheless, her command of the microphone was very evident
TV PRIMER HOST
Kudos to Mateo
Guidicelli for the spontaneous and warm way that he hosted the event. To his
credit, he never overshadowed nor patronized the girls and really allowed them
to bask in their glorious TV exposure no matter how brief or fleeting
Overall, it was
a good production and really gave us an insight on the girls and clearly and
effectively separated the chaff from the grain
To the Binibini
Class of 2014, good luck and may the best girls win!
