From the Top Twelve, I had to decide who
gets the Final Five places but ended up with a Magnificent Seven.
Yes, it's that difficult considering the bumper harvest of gorgeous Filipinas who are all set to bedazzle and enamor the global stage with their pulchritude, poise and personality
Anyway, anything can happen
tonight.
One of the girls who may have been under the radar might spring a surprise or a shocking win over the top favorites but here are my final choices who will battle it out for the right to represent the Philippines in the 2013 editions of Miss Universe, Miss International and Miss Supranational
Charmaine Elima is considered by many
pageant fans and pegged by pageant websites as the Girl to Beat. Hopefully, #
13 will be her lucky number unless she trips on stage or makes a mess in the Q
& A
Her exotic looks, defined cheekbones,
svelte figure and impressive academic credentials will seal the deal for her
Pia my Pia.. This crowd pleaser
definitely knows how to bring it on. Credit of course goes to her years of
training and exposure via ABS CBN.
This TV starlet will finally have a
chance to make a splash and translate a victory tonight into more lucrative
offers.
This gorgeous morena who is a deadringer
for Isabelle Daza, the daughter of Gloria Diaz our first Miss Universe has it
all. Bundles of beauty, oodles of oozing charm and the gift of gab.
Hannah Sison is a La Salle professor for
God's sake.
Seeing her erases your biased notion of
the stodgy and frumpy university professor
Bea Rose Santiago is one of the more
cosmopolitan girls in the batch. She is a Comunications student in York
University, Toronto, Canada.
Her luminous beauty and presence can
definitely make her stand head over shoulders with the rest of the girls in the
global arena
Mariel de Leon is one of the heavily
bashed girls because of the pageant organizers' perceived favoritism towards
her.
Can you blame her if she is the daughter
of well- respected TV & movie royalty Christopher de Leon & Sandy
Andolong?
Heavily criticized for her supposed
ample assets, she proved them wrong when she showed up during the Press
Presentation with a vavavoom figure, voluptuous assets and a more vivacious
personality.
Candidate # 34 Shan Apuad reminds me of
the classic beauty Guadalupe Sanchez.
Her work experience abroad certainly has
prepared her for the rigors of a beauty queen's hectic schedule and glamorous
lifestyle.
Bring it on Shan
Rounding out my Top Seven is the Face of
the Competition. Mutya Johanna Datul will definitely make a splash in the
international arena where the dynamics of pageantry have evolved.
Especially in Miss Universe where the
winners are chosen mostly on the basis of how they can be effective
product endorsers and commercial models.
Hers is the type of beauty that comes
once in a blue moon.
Crown her now please!
My Sentimental Favorite however is
Ariela Ara Arida, the licensed chemist from UP Los Banos. She with the
mysterious and captivating looks, elegant stance and cosmopolitan vibes
I have been enamored ever since I laid
my eyes on her. Aah... Ara Arida..Alluring. Arresting. A- Lister
Hope you end up with the Miss Universe-
Philippines crown on your head
Good luck to all of the 50 Golden Girls!
