Here Come the 2015 Bb Pilipinas Queens

After a grueling three hour show, the dust has settled and a new set of Bb Pilipinas queens has been crowned.

Congratulations to # 10 Pia Alonzo Wurztbach for finally clinching a crown and the top plum at that. She will now represent the country in the next Miss Universe Pageant.

L-R: 2nd RU Kimverlyn Suiza, Bb. Tourism Ann Lorraine Colis, Bb. Intercontinental Christi Lynn McGarry, Miss Universe Philippines Pia Wurtzbach, Bb. International Janicel Lubina, Bb. Supranational Rogelie Catacutan & 1st RU Hannah Ruth Sison

Candidate # 11 Janicel Lubina who earlier won the Best in Swimsuit and the Best in Gown awards settled for the Bb Pilipinas- International. # 19 Christi McGarry is Bb Pilipinas- Intercontinental. Bb Pilipinas- Supranational is # 25 Rogelie Catacutan & Bb Pilipinas- Tourism is # 24 Anne Lorraine Colis

Earlier yesterday morning, I posted in my lifestyle column in the Bohol Chronicle my prediction for this year’s Bb Pilipinas results. I listed # 11 Lubina, # 10 Wurztbach, # 19 McGarry # 28 Sison & # 24 Colis as the girls who would most likely get crowned tonight.

Guess what? I got four out of the five as Bb Pilipinas titleholders! The fifth one snagged the 1^st Runner Up position. This is the third straight year that I was able to guess correctly the girls who were most likely going to win the Miss Philippines- Universe crown

Congratulations to the winners!

The Girl to Beat in Bb Pilipinas 2015

The 34 official candidates of the 2015 Bb Pilipinas Pageant were formally introduced to media, sponsors, past and previous titleholders and pageant bloggers at Sofitel Philippine Plaza a few days ago.

This year’s batch is an interesting mix of first- timers and repeaters, of mestizas and dusky Pinay beauties.

HEAVY FAVORITE
The runaway favorite and a frontrunner for the Miss Philippines- Universe crown is the tall morena beauty from Palawan. The 19 year old Janicel Lubina was clearly the media favorite and got the loudest buzz from those who were there during the press presentation.

Adding more drama in Lubina’s quest for the top plum of Bb Pilipinas is her sob story of hardship & difficulties being the daughter of a poor family.

But for sheer beauty, commanding stage presence and the wow factor, Janicel is definitely this year’s “It Girl”
