Reader Basil was blown away by our ladies after seeing all of them in the flesh. I’m sure he has renewed confidence in our reigning queens. And for the others who also witnessed the event, you may share your thoughts about the same. 😉

Thanks for the mention Kuyang, I was touched and I blushed like Oxana Federova.
I’ve been busy trimming down my waistline, I’m getting myself ready for the screening of MWP.
I hope Mau Aba will join too, it will be a fun experience,. Bugbugan sa stage. para lang claudine at mon tulfo.
wow i wish downtown shibuya got one of these
Hotaru, if downtown Shibuya had one of these, it will be like Times Square on New Year’s Eve. 😀
what is this norman?
Hotaru, the Santacruzan is an annual tradition in the Philippines during the month of May where the most beautiful in a town or province (in this case, national beauty queens) are elegantly dressed and paraded around for everyone to watch. It is a devotional activity of religious theme that has somehow transformed into a festive celebration of flowers & beauty. 😉
Norman, I wonder who’s doing Janine’s make up, its horrible especially the eyebrows and the eye makeup!
I have no idea of the specifics, Vic, but it could be BPCI’s house make-up artists or the salon commissioned for the same.
koyang norms, anitch va yang claudine/raymart – mon tulfo fiasco!!! nagvogvogan zila sa airport. si claudine nuong umalis akish ng pinas petite vakit ngayon mala balyenic na ang dating nya. mas mukha pang bata si 69 ms univ gloria d. ang mukha nya paga at super duper ang double chin nya. anu va yang mga teartis sa pinas parang gusto lahat maging manny pacquiao. napaka cheap. buti na lang tayong mga kafederasyon may class. yung tatlong nag thilla in manila parang mga walang edukasyon.
LOL! It’s funny how these celebrities protect their privacy but go all-out in public when push comes to shove. Claudine’s big size got irreversible after giving birth to Santino. She just didn’t have the discipline to lose significant weight since then.
Hi norman, just curious. Who was the reyna elena that day?
I believe it was Precious Lara Quigaman.
