Toni hopes that she will be more blessed in Bb. Pilipinas this time around. Our Binibini 6 is all-out in fighting her way to the top. And with the guidance of her new camp (KF), she knows that things can only turn out for the better. Or – fingers-crossed – the best. ;-)

Your Binibini 34 Wyn Marquez

When Teresita Sen “WynWyn” Marquez screened for, qualified and got pinned as Binibini 34 in Bb. Pilipinas 2015, not a few eyebrows were raised by the decision. Here is a showbiz personality who has a TV career that – while not on top of the game – has remained active and constantly involved in a string of projects that honed her talents in acting and dancing. She never runs out of assignments. Of late, she has been typecasted in villainess roles – a character 180 degrees from how down-to-earth she is in real life.

Nowadays, Wyn’s life has been relatively more relaxed compared to her hectic showbiz schedules. The physical demands of the pageant are nothing compared to the overnight tapings and daily rehearsals at GMA-7. And that helps her maintain a more beautiful and fully-rested aura. Will she nail a win in the March 15 finals? We’ll see…

Know more about Wyn by watching this interview she had with Tim Yap during the latter’s midnight show. ;-)

Binibini 19 Christi Lynn McGarry

Binibini 19 Christi Lynn Landrito McGarry may strike a conversation like a true US East Coast native. But not the type who would neglect her Filipino roots from Nabua, Camarines Sur, this 24 year-old statuesque beauty is proudly representing her mother’s hometown. And having fulfilled the pageant’s residency musts, she now has a better appreciation of the culture – way more than the food and quirky habits.

But enough of that for now. Watch her Truth and Dare video for Bb. Pilipinas 2015. The husky voice, for one, is enough to catch your attention. But when she sings soul, you will be pleasantly surprised. ;-)

Your Binibini 17 Brenna Cassandra Gamboa

Last 2012, Brenna Cassandra Gamboa won 4th Princess honors during Miss World Philippines under the supervision of Kagandahang Flores. She was still fresh from a prior stint in Miss Philippines Earth 2012 where she made it to the Top 10, a placement that was considered a lot better than expected. Between then and now, she made an important decision that would gave a good shot in the arm for her hopes of becoming a full-pledged major titleholder.

This year, Brenna is hoping to land the most important victory in her pageant career by way of Bb. Pilipinas 2015. And as she changed groups from KF to Aces & Queens, hopes are pinned that the transfer will bring her to a more glorious finish in the nationals.

Here now is the Truth and Dare vid for the former US East Coast resident who can now truthfully state that she is just as qualified as the homegrown contenders to become a Bb. Pilipinas. :-)

2014 belongs to the past for Binibini 8 Kimverlyn Suiza. She would rather look back at last year’s edition as a rich learning experience that has polished and equipped her with the right level of self-confidence to face the challenge of Bb. Pilipinas 2015 head-on. Given that she is now 26 and on her last qualifying year for the nationals, this Marikina City rep is pulling out all stops to leave an indelible mark in the competition. Her beauty camp, Aces & Queens, has given her more than the right back-up to register and perform better this time around.

Kim has come a relatively long way from Miss Philippines Earth 2013 to Bb. Pilipinas 2014 to this. I would really like to see her gain the fulfillment she has worked hard for.

Here’s the Truth and Dare video she did for the ongoing pre-pageant heats.

The professional model in Kylie Verzosa

Binibini 12 Kylie Verzosa

Some of you may not be aware of a little-known fact about Binibini 12 Kylie Verzosa. Pageantry does run in her genes. Her mother, the former Raquel Buenaventura, was a Bb. Pilipinas Official Candidate way back in 1983. But while the latter left the scene after that one-time attempt, the daughter is just starting with hers, and may actually be looking at surpassing the mark set more than thirty (30) years ago.

Kylie is a running favorite in Bb. Pilipinas 2015. And if she keeps up with the favorable assessment of fans and followers, then this 23 year-old professional model might just see herself doing well in the March 15 finals.

Let’s watch her Truth and Dare video now.

Binibini 21 Alaiza Flor Malinao

Binibini 21 Alaiza Flor Malinao is like a chameleon to those who have already seen and appreciated her enough to gather a nice conclusion. She experiments with looks that always border on tasteful styling and the like. And it no longer surprises me that this true-blue Davaoeña is already familiar with the magic of make-up. After all, years of hard-earned experience as a ramp and photographic model has molded her skills in the same.

Now watch the dog-loving side of Alaiza in the Truth and Dare video below. She does make a fine argument for canine breeders everywhere. ;-)

Binibini 18 Crissa Marie Mendiola

To be the tallest in an edition of Bb. Pilipinas contenders is already a small achievement by itself. And Crissa Marie Mendiola from Bulacan is proud that she towers above everyone else, even the ones who are considered strong favorites.

While she may have been reported as standing just 5’10” in the Bb. Pilipinas website, Crissa actually looks and projects a six-footer stance (and I believe she is really circling around that stat). You should see her playing basketball and the full stretch of her legs is enviable to say the least. But while you may think she is all about dribbles and hoops, you’ve got another thing coming. The girl can actually sing, and has taken on the role of La Carlotta Prima Donna in her college’s theatre adaptation of “Phantom of the Opera”.

Anja-Vanessa: a loss for tennis, a gain for Bb. Pilipinas

Binibini 22 Anja-Vanessa Peter

Binibini 22 Anja (pronounced as ‘Anya’) Vanessa Peter has already retired from full-time ITF affiliation as a touring tennis player. And save for some photoshoots (like the one she did for Adidas), she barely touches her racket nowadays. Good for Bb. Pilipinas then. The 26 year-old stunner is giving the beauty competition one full go. If her sporty and driven ways will be of help in making her stand out among the rest, then so be it. The training from KF has transformed her into an elegant beauty on heels, though. The ultra-fit body is a definite bonus.

Watch her Truth and Dare video now and allow Anja to show you some of her moves on the grasscourt.

Do I hear someone shouting ‘Advantage, Peter’? ;-)

And aside from Kagandahang Flores, she is getting the full backup of KF Cebu headed by Jonas Borces and make-up whiz Wenwen Zaspa who did the face of the sweet and pretty Cebuana in all her photos here.

I would be happy seeing Rogelie do well in the competition. Having had the pleasure of finally meeting her face-to-face last Thursday afternoon, I’d say that she could be one of the solid performers in this batch given the opportunity to shine well in all pre-payment events and activities. Good luck to you, girl!

Binibini 20 Tanya Angelica Nicole Hyde

Call her a multi-tasker.

Binibini 20 Tanya Angelica Nicole Hyde is not your typical health buff of a beauty contestant. She teaches Yoga as a profession, dabbles in fashion design and engages in sales & marketing. In between, she is an avid rock climber on land and a certified wakeboarder on water.

And this tall Masbateña with part-English roots could be one of the fittest Binibinis in this batch. Her slim and toned 5’9″ frame is more than enough to display excellent posture whenever standing side-by-side her fellow contenders.

If that’s the case, let me see if Tanya can do a yoga pose on 5-inch platform heels. Watch the video below. ;-)

Divided into two groups of seventeen (17), the Bb. Pilipinas 2015 Official Candidates headed to separate Zumba sessions to join in the fun of doing the lively fitness class.

Binibinis 1-17 were assigned to Gateway Mall, while the rest trooped to Farmers Mall for the same activity. And mind you, it wasn’t only them who participated in the lively sessions. The class regulars (housewives and exercise enthusiasts) also readied themselves to be able to keep up with the endless energy of our beauties.

Fun fun fun for everyone! :-D

Binibini 23 Justine Beatrice Felizarta

Harvest time for Binibini 23 Justine Felizarta.

After investing more than a year of her young life relocating to Manila from Vancouver and devoting a big chunk of time and effort training for Bb. Pilipinas 2015, Justine is now ready to put into action everything that she has learned. Letting down Aces & Queens is farthest from her mind. She wants to make them proud more than anything else.

This girl may be one of the youngest in the roster (even in her camp), but there is already a marked sense of maturity in the way she handles big adult steps. She may look girly and playful most of the time. But this is only to show a personality that can blend well with most everyone. Challenge her to eat balut and she will squirm. But after some quick prodding, she will still give it a try. That’s just a small facet of this Binibini’s disposition that endears her to friends and acquaintances.

Binibini 14 Princess Joy Camu

Ever seen an professional fire dancer who wants to become a national beauty queen?

No? Well, you’re in luck. Binibini 14 Princess Joy Camu is one such person. This 20 year-old Albayana literally plays with fire, but not to the point of getting burned or figuratively defeated in the process. Among her interests, dancing and traveling top the list. If she can combine both in a future career, then she would be the happiest indeed.

But for now, this KF-trained lass is dead set on making a good impression in the contest. She hopes to be judged as more than good enough for a placement, or a crown if possible.

Do you think she’s a potential winner?

Binibini 26 Anabel Christine G. Tia

Back when she was still an independent Bb. Pilipinas screenee last year, nobody took notice of Anabel Christine Tia until she surprised everyone when she qualified as Official Candidate and was tagged Binibini 6.

Kagandahang Flores (KF) took her in and was immersed into full training. While she may not have been lucky enough to land a good placement during the finals, she did not take the turn of events with a sad heart. Instead, she decided to apply for a second time. At 26, time is not on her hands. But the opportunity is still there.

And for Bb. Pilipinas 2015, Bel is aiming for a crown or magic circle placement at least. Some people may say that the field is too strong. But this Ozamiz City native is undaunted. She is giving it her best shot. Bb. Pilipinas or bust. ;-)

She’s the “indie’ girl of Bb. Pilipinas 2015. The contestant who is neither affiliated with one of the two major beauty camps nor trained by the smaller ones. And she holds the first pin among the ladies. Meet Binibini 1 Samantha Balbin.

This eye candy of a candidate – a ward of designer Jontie Martinez – is actually a chess lover. She loves making strategic moves on the board and beating her opponents, especially men I reckon. And I presume that she is just as full of tactics in handling life decisions and the like. Joining Bb. Pilipinas is a big step for Samantha. And if she plans steps according to her handler’s instructions, then she might just achieve a better placement than expected.

Now’s the time to watch her Truth and Dare video for the competition.

Life is full of risks. And if you don’t have the guts to go for the more well-calculated ones among them, then the future will just be filled with ‘what-ifs’ that a person will never see the end of mulling about the possibilities.

Binibini 28 Hannah Ruth Sison gave up her 2nd Runner-Up position in Bb. Pilipinas 2014 to be able to take part in this year’s edition. That is already a big risk, but something that she is whole-heartedly taking at this point when her age will no longer qualify if she waits one more year to fully serve her 18-month BPCI contract. A clear case of ‘now-again-or-never‘.

Your blogger with now Bb. Pilipinas 2015 Official Candidate Hannah Ruth Sison

So given that you, my dear readers, have already started filtering the roster of current candidates as armchair judges, where are you placing Hannah? The girl has considerably paid her dues and is now aiming to become the beauty with a crown on her head and not just the first to be introduced in the roll call of Bb. Pilipinas 2014 Queens.

Is she fully deserving in your eyes? Is she a shoo-in for one of the titles this time around? Is this year the certified season for a Sison in the competition?

Okay, watch her Truth and Video first before giving a reply. ;-)

According to the quick bio stated on Binibini 2 in the pageant website, it states that “Jenny finished her Bachelor’s degree in nursing science in Sydney, Australia and she Loves singing, baking and photography.

But what wasn’t mentioned is a little trivia about this KF beauty that tells on her ample pageant pedigree. Jenny is the niece of Bb. Pilipinas Universe 1991 Alou Gonzalez who represented the country in Las Vegas (after taking over the dethroned Anjanette Abayari at the time). There is no semblance in terms of looks, but this girl definitely has the grit and motivation to do her aunt proud in the competition.

Can Mia claim a Gold in Bb. Pilipinas 2015 just like she did as a national fencer?

Binibini 31 Mia Allyson Hernandez Howell

Years back, Mia Allyson Hernandez Howell fenced her way to a Gold Medal in the Southeast Asian Games. And having brought honor to the country, she has already been accorded distinction by our sports officials for the same.

Now that she has retired from the sport and finished schooling in the US, Mia has moved forward to the pageant route via Kagandahang Flores. She is quite excited with the complete turnaround of demands – from all-white fencing uniforms to swimsuits and platform heels. Quite a change in appearance indeed. And if you compare her profile photo as an athlete and her official Bb. Pilipinas shot above, the real beauty of this lass is showing in leaps and bounds.

Watch her Truth and Dare video below to complete your take on Mia Allyson Hernandez Howell. ;-)
