#14 Merry Joyce Respicio: do you like her better as a fashion model?
Before anything else, click HERE if you want to see the solo swimsuit photos of all the candidates.
During the Press Presentation of Bodyshots X 2013 at Resorts World Manila last Sunday, the 15 men and 15 women vying for the top spots were presented to broadsheet and online media. While I wouldn’t necessarily consider this year’s batch as bumper crop, there were a few of them who showed good potentials of standing out and living up to the standards previously set by the model search in decades past.
This year's contenders
In particular, Bb. Pilipinas 2013 Official Candidate Merry Joyce Respicio was given special attention by those in attendance. She was even taller than most of the male candidates. And if she sticks to her plan of using this contest to springboard a possible career outside of pageant participation, then she might just be more successful this time around.
By the way, the Bodyshots X 2013 wannabes will be walking down the ramp in a special fashion show to be held also at Resorts World Manila starting tonight at 6PM (with other scheduled dates on June 17 and 18) before the live finals at the Newport Performing Arts Theatre on June 27.

Hi Norman! Do you still actually tolerate distasteful comments (like the ones found in this post) in your blog?
I already moderated the comments.
Geez… Sorry but only about 3 or 4 of them are actually worth looking at… The rest adre Bleh…
Is it true that, just like in Bb, MJ is “just” the second tallest candidate in the ladies group?
There is one lady who stands at practically 6′.

Ateng, bakit mo naman nasabi?
Tinarakan na ba kita ng punyal patalikod?
Like u, may isa ring gumagamit sa name ko.
At wala akong pakialam sa kanya.
Kahit isang batalyon pa sila, hindi nila ko mapapataob, nasa akin ata ang bakal na krus.
