With so many beautiful ladies screening for Bb. Pilipinas 2013, I’m overflowing with combos for potential winners. And we’re just in the screening part!
Okay, let’s go with one each from A&Q and KF plus two indie candidates…would you combine Charmaine Elima with Mariel de Leon plus Anna Buquid and Ria Rabajante?
The four faces are just waiting to be crowned, i.e., if they end up going all the way in the competition.
Actually, I may sound playful, but the two indies (if indeed they are not sponsored by any of the camps) can be cause for concern for Jonas Gaffud, Rodgil Flores and John dela Vega if ever. Do I sense a storm of epic proportions for this year’s finals?
In essence, the title of this post refers to having beauty camp titleholders or independent winners. 
Theres is no Doubt Ms. Rabajante Got ALL the Miss U Philippines bearing and the rest just need to fight over the remaining crowns….. I just hope RIA makes good in the Q & A’s and had the wit and spunk VENUS,SHAMCEY & JANINE have during their Miss U stint..Lets face it, so many beatiful faces and great bodies in Miss Universe but brains and wit gave gave our girls a push and the win.

hi..how true na disqualified na dw c megan young because of her rogue magazine cover?
From what I heard, it may not have even reached the point of disqualification. The contract with her home network really got in the way. Should ABS-CBN become the new franchise holder of MU, then the rules will most likely be amended in Megan’s favor.
How come Pia didn’t suffer same fate? She’s also a talent of Star Magic, isn’t she?
But Pia is not as popular and as important a talent as Megan Young.
In these 4 photos, standout si Mariel and Ria. I did not expect the alluring and captivating beauty of Mariel. Based on previous photos of Mariel published, she was not as attractive like this photo of her. She quite resembles her actress Aunt Pinky but Mariel is more beautiful and hope to be in Top 5.
actually ria is 5’8
At first I thought Mariel has nothing more to offer than having a celebrity parents but her recent photos show that striking aura. WOW! She has it. Now I know she’s out there to prove something than living in the shadow of her parents name. On the other side, Rabajante and Quintas are quite surprising! These 2 ladies I must say are Bb. Pilipinas-Universe timbers as well. I am actually having a hard time weighing my options this early! I have never wanted World title to be back only this year to Binibini this bad! Imagine, too many lovely girls for 3 crowns only? Paging BPCI- a crown for Supranational please!
They are all on point! Quintessential Filipina beauties. Can’t wait for the results!
I want an Indie winner.
All by herself yet proclaimed as the most victorious,that’s an achievement indeed.
A ‘Diamond in the Sky”.
Rabajante is the chosen one.
But I’m afraid that her resemblance with Janine will cause her to miss the Universe title.
I really hope not.
How tall are these girls? I hope they have outgoing and charming personalities.
Elima is 5’7″ish, De Leon is 5’8″, Buquid is 5’11 3/4″ and Rabajante is 5’7″ish.
All four above have something to offer. Charmaine of course is considered one of the early front runners. Six-foot tall Anna Buquid is a force to contend with for obvious reasons. Ria who I’ve not seen before is exotically beautiful. And Mariel de Leon is so striking — her bone structure is amazing (just look at her jawline!) — she has an air of sophistication about her that can’t be ignored. In any case, all four of them should be shoo-ins as official candidates — at the very least!
