Here are more photos of the 40 Bb. Pilipinas 2011 Official Candidates. You can definitely see the joy and exuberance in their eyes for making it this unique year where the usual 24 contenders have been stretched to 16 more. Between now and the pageant night on April 9, a lot of things can still happen (like disqualifications due to a lot of reasons or backing-out and the like) so don’t be surprised if the number goes down (hopefully not by much) after two months.
For now, let us all enjoy these ladies. You will see more candidate-dedicated blogs in the next few weeks or so. 😉

Finally in a surprising move, the 40 (not 24) Official Candidates of Bb. Pilipinas 2011 have been announced, and they are the following (not their designated numbers yet):
Owing to the fiercer quality of applicants this year (with four more added to the Top 50 at the last minute), BPCI decided to up the number of annointed candidates and make the 2011 pageant more exciting. Did your favorites make it?
Anyways, these forty ladies will vie for two (2) major titles – Bb. Pilipinas-Universe and Bb. Pilipinas-International – which will earn them the right to represent the Philippines in the Miss Universe 2011 in Sao Paolo, Brazil and Miss International 2011 in China, respectively. The real competition starts right now.
The Bb. Pilipinas 2011 Coronation Night will be held on April 9, to be aired over ABS-CBN.
Last year, Dianne Necio tried her luck for Bb. Pilipinas. She landed First Runner-Up.
Not contented with placing next to the Queens of 2010, she is more determined than ever to nail a crown that eluded her. And believe me, she wants the top spot and become the Philippines’ representative to the Miss Universe 2011 in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Does she have what it takes to follow the act of Venus Raj in 2010? (Photo credit: Melvin Sia of OPMB Worldwide)
The 24 Official Candidates of Bb. Pilipinas 2011 will be announced tonight (wee hours of the morning of January 30 if you will). And Dianne is a shoo-in to make it as one of them.
What do you think, dear readers? Will Dianne Necio come out victorious in 2011? 😉

There are fifty (50) shortlisted ladies right now vying for the 24 Official Candidates slots of Bb. Pilipinas 2011. Above are ten of the wannabes I’m liking so far. Will they make it to the two dozen hopefuls come Saturday?

Here for the contract signing of the new franchise for Miss World-Philippines are the indefatigable Julia Morley who heads Miss World Limited, Inc., the reigning Miss World Alexandria Mills from the USA and her 1st Runner-Up Emma Wareus from Botswana. Franchise owner Cory Quirino warmly welcomed the group and made sure that their short stay in the country is memorable.
The very first edition of Miss World-Philippines will be staged this year and I’m sure it will be a big one. 😉

Looking forward to this coming Saturday (January 29) for the announcement of the 24 Official Candidates for 2011. This year’s batch is sure to be one of the best! 😉
These photos are just a sampling of the ladies who received their callbacks for the screening last weekend at the Gateway Suites. So far, so good. But I wouldn’t single out my favorites yet.

More gorgeous ladies for 2011! The Bb. Pilipinas 2011 screening last weekend was a successful affair as beautiful Filipinas flooded the BPCI screening venue at Araneta Center.
Armchair judges, time to check them out! See for yourself the best of the bunch so far. 😉
Hi! Norman here. When I'm not working, I spend most of my free time planning on daily blogs. If you will notice, I always make sure that a fresh topic comes out everyday - not an easy thing to do but it's all good. Thanks for dropping by and enjoy the visit!
