Name: Valerie Clacio Weigmann
Age: 22
Height: 5’9″
Work: Print and Commercial Model; ex-Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 2008 housemate
The excitement for Binibining Pilipinas 2012 is really starting to heat up. And why not? Coming from the impressive performance of our beauty queens this year, there is particular interest in the 2012 edition because the Philippines has to sustain the placement record.
In comes Valerie Weigmann. You may remember her as one of the housemates in ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition last 2008. She did not win that one, but was given by the network a string of small TV projects. Unfortunately, her star did not shine bright enough to become a celebrity of major reckoning. She went into modelling. And this is where her beautiful face started to get noticed by advertisers. What followed were TV commercials for C2 Green Tea and Myra Vita-White, with more to come.

Given Valerie’s nicely-tempered Fil-German mix and good height, will she step up to the plate for Binibining Pilipinas 2012? And if she does, do you think she has what it takes to win one of the crowns? I think she has great potentials that can be enhanced with further training and polish. My first of two worries (if this can indeed be considered as one) is her previous photoshoot (watch video above) with Rogue Magazine where she posed topless (although only her bare back was facing the camera) on the cover. And here’s my bigger worry…and this could be the nail in the coffin so to speak. She is a contracted endorser of Century Properties – something that would spell conflict of interest against the centerpiece property development – Manhattan Garden City – of the Aranetas.
And don’t go suggesting that she tries her luck in Miss World Philippines instead because there will be another problem. SM Development Corporation is a major backer of the pageant.
So there… 😦
Val is my new idol. Now that she is a part of Eat Bulaga!!! That is why I’m starting a new blog just for her.

she’s so beautiful
Leaving the legalities and conflict-of-interest issues aside, she looks stunning. As for the so-called “topless” photoshoot, if her back was to the camera and her breasts were not exposed, why even consider that “topless”? BBP should reassess some of its standards and join the 21st century. The age of Maria Clara has long gone. Trump doesn’t mind his beauty queens going topless, so why should that be considered a disqualification by Mrs. Araneta for local girls attempting to join Trump’s Miss Universe pageant?
reassessing the standards of the pageant would’nt be enough, ousting stella is the solution, and putting kuya norman as the director is a genius act,.
Oh my, basil, you have a lot of faith in me. If I only have a philanthropic scale of money, I would run everything. 😉
there’s no doubt that she will be rejected. a topless photograph is more than enough reason for her to be rejected by the stupid screening committees of the Bb. i agree w/ orange, maegan is more appealing. i can’t see a xfactor on valerie. she has the height, the face, an english fluency, but that’s all, no charisma at al.
I still prefer Maegan. I dont know, maegan kasi looks really pinay. Saw her on Enteng, and she was stunning. 🙂
Kuya normz, question…isn’t manhattan garden city a megaworld project? or a joint-project with the aranetas? if that’s the case, then that’s really a conflict of interest 😦
As far as I know, MGC is predominantly developed by the Aranetas. There will always be a major kink for as long as Valerie is identified with Century Properties.
YOU are wrong NORMAN … That is by MEGAWORLD CORPORATION
Sorry for that. I stand corrected.
