Who’s that girl?

She could be the face of Binibining Pilipinas…..

But not this year because she is only 17. In 2013, by which time she will have already turned 18, this girl could be the one to beat. Her killer dimples remind me so much of TV/Film Actress Carla Abellana. In fact, she can pass off as the young sister.

Let’s not get too prematurely excited. At this point, I trust that her famous handlers will transform this sweet-looking ingenue into a young elegant woman worthy of becoming a beauty queen in a year (or two) from now.

For now, let’s be happy that the (University of the) Philippines is not running out of knockout beauty-and-brains to field in our national pageants.

Now back to the title of this blog feature.

Who’s that girl?

Just call her ‘Patch” ;-)

Luzelle Felipe: All systems go for Bb. Pilipinas 2012? or better luck in 2013?

During Binibining Pilipinas 2011, Luzelle Felipe was one girl who made heads turn and ended up on many armchair judges’ shortlist as a strong possibility for one of the titles. True enough, she made it to the semifinals. Her Q&A left much to be desired, but not to the point of getting potshots from everyone. Many pageant supporters (including myself) were not disappointed when she lost. Instead, she was looked at as someone who can be perfectly groomed for future editions of the competition.

Now that everyone is getting hyped up for Binibining Pilipinas 2012, do you think that this Bulakenya is ready to join again? Or should she wait for 2013, by which time she has already armed herself with more than enough pluses to compliment the kind of beauty she is naturally endowed with?

Methinks Luzelle should stretch her patience a little longer. 2013 could be her year. If she joins the current one, some shortcomings might still show.

Hopefully, we can see a fully-prepared candidate in her a year from now. :-)
