Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ara Arida with photographer Niccolo Cosme (back to the camera)

OPMB Worldwide prepared a campaign video (with the help of Neil Dalida) for Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ariella ‘Ara’ Arida in preparation for her nearing departure date (October 21) for Moscow, Russia to target a 3rd Miss Universe crown for the Philippines. Watch below. Inspite of the divisive remarks given to our bet, let us still make a concerted effort to support her in whatever way we can. Give her the benefit of your doubts. Ara is doing her best to make us proud in Miss Universe 2013. 🙂

Im so excited na to see Ara’s winning moment….but if ever she doesn’t make it proud pa rin ako sa kanya mahirap sundan ang 3 in a row but i always thinking that if there’s a 3 of course merong 4 na kasunod…at kung meron tayong 2 miss universe aba meron talagang susunod na pangatlo. Ang inaasam asam kong pagkkataon eh makapasok agad si Ara sa top 15 or 16..then the top 10..then top 5..siguradong pasok sa banga yan…nasa kamay ni Ara ang hirap at pressure ngayon kaya whatever it comes proud ako sa kanya….GOOD LUCK ARA…!!!

Ara looks fabulous in these new pics! She looks very competitive. Can’t wait to see her strut her stuff in Moscow and see her in motion!

Hindi ko maiwasang malungkot sa nabasa ko kanina lang sa FB..
https://www.facebook.com/inesSensei

although honest at positive ang say niya sa ating rep na si Ara pero halatang bet talaga ni Ligron si Herman ng Indonesia kasi sabi niya na pure beauty ito and even to the point na kakausapin daw niya ang organizer para sa susuotin ng kandidata nila sa MU at baka magkita pa sila at mabigyan pa ng styling tips dahil pupunta siya sa Jakarta for the fashion week.. 😦

  Deadma to that sister. Merong mga manok si IL na umuwing clapper rin naman. Diba Korea even got her before to train their rep pero umuwing luhaan rin naman. Si Pia ang alam kong bet ni IL based on her fb posts but kebs naman diba she’s not competing and Ara’s our current rep. And as if naman kung makapagsalita ang IL e nakita na in person si Ara? 😛 Si Whulan naman kasi in fairness, pang high fashion kasi talaga cya ang I think IL’s been focusing on her fashion businesses in Singapore nowadays so of course her eye is more of for fashion. Beauty pageant is different from fashion industry. One may have an advantage if she had a background in the modeling industry but it’s not a guarantee that you’ll be noticed. Remember Tamar Shedania? 🙂 She’s beautiful and even won Elite model but pagdating sa pageant scene e clapper ang lola mo.

    Sobrang proud pa ni Ines kay Kurara eh first RU lang naman haha. Point is: di naman porket Ines seems to favor someone over our bet doesnt mean Ara wont win. But take Ines constructive criticisms as well.
    
    Tsaka yung advice naman ni Ines kay Ara ay matagal nang alam ni Jonas. Ines doesnt have to say it. In an interview post-Janine Tugonon victory last year, Jonas says na wag daw “be yourself” ang advice because beauty queens always perform a certain character on stage.
    
    For all we know baka Ara’s lack of personality is an act. A PR ploy. A strategy. Haha.

    True Max & Sheena!
    
    Naku, she’s like a gay man trapped in a woman’s body in real life!
    People’s current impression of her having a dry personality is mind boggling!?!..
    Nagulat nga ako bat sobrang pigil sya sa TV…
    Depende lang talaga siguro kung sino ang kaharap..
    Alam ko lalabas din ang tunay na kulay ni Ara in time..
    Baka yun pa ang magpapanalo sa kanya.. I can’t wait! 😀
  - Sheena on October 18, 2013 at 01:50 said:
    
    Sister Closer2Fame sabi na e bakla ang Ara, naaamoy ko cya kahit na nasa ibayong dagat akey LOL!!!!!!!! Siempre kapwa ko mahal ko diba 😛
    
    Max, in fairness to Kurara she did very well during MU’06 naman but it was Zuleyka’s Q&A that made the latter the winner that time. Basta ako I’m just stating what I’ve observed with IL. Kaya carry on lang! 😛 Feeling ko gagawin lang nya sigurong modelo nya for her clothing line si WH.
- alexandraflora on October 17, 2013 at 15:08 said:
  
  Don’t you worry AMY, due to Megan’s success the BPCI is now under pressure to make Ara look elegant and sparkly. I am sure that sir Jonas and Madame Stella will not let Ara wear a tacky dress and gowns this time. They know that THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
  
  Ines can support whoever she wants but Ara will still shine. I mean c’mon her catwalk ALONE is FAR BETTER than probably 80 of the candidates – even before she was crowned MUPhilippines !!!!!!
  
  I was sad also when she posted that post about Ara but look at the positive side; Ara has been mentioned by a famous designer. Good or bad – This is still publicity for my beloved ARA – GO ARA!!! 😉 😉 🙂
Nohnoh San Pedro on October 17, 2013 at 00:07 said:

For how many times have I been dreaming of Ara as one of the finalist on Ms. Universe, but everytime i read negative comments I rethink. Its just heartbreaking to see pinoys dragging their reprensentative down. Really sad. Never been this hooked again on MU since Raj’s. I hope Ara wins.
- benji on October 17, 2013 at 06:33 said:
  
  If Ara has the same character as you are, then three days into the competition she would already be losing her composure and would be dragging her feet like a loser. MU is also a competition of showing inner strength under all kinds of pressures. Your statement shows how uninspired the vibes you are sending to ARA – you just dreamt of her as one of the finalist (you could have visualize her as the winner, why only finalist?), you displayed weakness by being easily heartbroken…you were sad…low-bat indeed. But I am sure ARA is made of a sterner stuff. Ara is a fighter…and she will compete with grace and charm to claim the crown that is destined to be hers!

    Why do you have to judge me though you dont know me personally? Thats weird. Just asking.
- benji on October 17, 2013 at 07:34 said:
  
  Ha-ha-ha…I am not judging you…I am simply critiquing on your lousy comment above. My bases are those of what you felt about yourself…review your post so you will know!
Jamir Hertzig on October 16, 2013 at 21:18 said:

this page on FB has Lots of hate speech, racist pics about Filipina Beauty Queens…I think it was made by Thai peopLe…try to visit and repoRt it so it wiLL be removed on FB.. https://www.facebook.com/Phinnahee
- Mitchell on October 16, 2013 at 21:53 said:
  
  It was made by a retarded so I guess we should just ignore it. Chill, friend! Thank you for supporting our queens!
- DeAndre on October 16, 2013 at 22:11 said:
  
  Thank you for your kind advice. Done reporting it. I hope we can all appreciate the beauty of each race. Let’s stop hating each other, Thai friends. 🙂

    Kaya dapat behave lang tayo at wag mangutya ng ibang kandidata 🙂 Reported that pathetic page already

I love the video… lets just spread positive vibes.. ^_^
Jerwin Penalosa on October 16, 2013 at 20:30 said:

I’m curious about “pageant exercise”. How do you do this?
Andres on October 16, 2013 at 20:29 said:

Bothered ako sa hampas ng kamay ni Ara! Pwde ba pagsabihan na bawasan na kaunti Tito norms? But she’s definitely looking great!
benji on October 16, 2013 at 19:58 said:

I salute the great effort of those behind the production of that video. There is one concern though that bothers me. I was beaming with pride watching those different images of Ara until one frame almost hit me like a devastating thunder – frame 5:29…Goshhhh…who was that old man with a scary aura? He brings so much negative vibes that I began to feel nausea and felt like vomiting till the end part of the video…mind you, even with that man half-a-second exposure in frame 5:29. For me, Ara’s encounter with that horrendous presence of a man will be Ara’s Achilles heel! (Well, it’s just my thought and observation!)
- benji on October 16, 2013 at 20:10 said:
  
  ## correction ## Frame 3:29

- benji on October 16, 2013 at 20:06 said:
  
  Hija…Ining, pasalamat ka na lang sa mga bashers, kasi kung wala sila, malulunod ang mga kandidata natin sa mga mabababaw na paruri sa kanila at sa mga pambobola ng mga sipsip na umaaligid para maambunan ng biyaya. Kung wala ang mga bashers, hindi na gaanung magsusumikap ang mga kandidatang iyan to prove their detractors wrong. Tingnan mo nga yong mga kandidatang lumahok noon na bumilog ang mga ulo sa pambobola at pang-uuto ng mga nasa paligid — sila yong mga nanatiling clappers through-out the competition.
  - Jamir Hertzig on October 16, 2013 at 20:49 said:
    
    YAH I KNOW benji…THANKS FOR SHARING….I AGREE WITH YOU… I JUST DONT LIKE IT WHEN SOMEONE BASHES SOMEONE WHO DOESNT DESERVE IT…

ramdam na namin ang excitement, we are just here to support whatever we can share to ara. our vote will always be ready here in abroad. ARA hindi ka nag iisa. maraming sumusubaybay sa u. We saw you that you are 101 percent ready. We believe you and make us again proud………Go ara. Rock the universe……..
Sheena on October 16, 2013 at 18:42 said:

Go Ara! Prove the world (and your bashers wrong) that you deserve to bag the crown! 🙂 #ForThePhilippines
alexandraflora on October 16, 2013 at 18:20 said:

(off topic) Tito Norman, do you think Ara has learned enough Russian to answer the Q and A in Russian? – I really hope that she does not do that due to pressure of impressing the judges, but it would be cool to see her do that haahhaah 😉
- Norman on October 16, 2013 at 18:58 said:
  
  I don’t think Ara would go that far. A smattering of words and phrases, yes. But she wouldn’t go into conversational Russian.
ernest reyes on October 16, 2013 at 17:25 said:

It’ really sad Norman coming from a Filipino. You’d think he would be proud of his countryman’s achievement. I think he’s next target is Ariella. This guy like to kiss asses with the Ms. Universe Organization especially Paula Shuggart. Always loved to be photographs will all the Latina beauties and Ms. USA. Ms. Universe season is upon us, so expect to see his presence all over.
- mole on October 17, 2013 at 01:15 said:
  
  Delfina rafa, real ipokrita, feel na feel being american citizen but in reality she look like abnormal aliens, she look down all pinoy living in the Philippines, she also pretend not understand tagalog at all, while she born and raised in the Philippines she just moved to US recently! Ipokritang jokla delfin rafa babaji ., monogoloid look!!
ernest reyes on October 16, 2013 at 17:11 said:

Hello Norman, a little off topic here. Please, read Rafa Delfin’s of Critical Beauty’s article on Megan Young. The article was not very nice, and now he’s also involving Mrs. Victoria Young mother of Megan. Will this low life creature ever stop.
- Norman on October 16, 2013 at 17:14 said:
  
  Just gives you a clearer idea of who may have started it all.
  - Jerwin Penalosa on October 16, 2013 at 20:24 said:
    
    SIR NORMAN WHAT IS ” PAGEANT EXERCISE” THAT ARA IS DOING SO i CAN APPLY IT ALSO TO MYSELF. THANKS.
  - Norman on October 16, 2013 at 21:47 said:
    
    It’s simply training for pageants – walk, poise, turns, pose, eye contact, positioning of legs/hands and everything that comes with it. 😉
  - Rafa Dolphin on October 16, 2013 at 23:32 said:
    
    Hi Norms, I watched Olivia Culpo’s interview with the biatch reporter from a Russian News, and I was amazed at how Olivia handled the interview even though the interviewer is so rude and anti-american. Can you write an article about this interview. I would like to know your views about it. Thanks. Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=T14mlPgeFAU
  - Norman on October 16, 2013 at 23:51 said:
    
    I already did. Scroll down and you’ll see it. 😉
- Sheena on October 16, 2013 at 17:49 said:
  
  i just saw the article and it made me raise my eyebrows up to the top level of our office building. I’m sorry but the way he wrote the article he just made it sound like Megan’s mom is matapoors. Responsible journalism anyone?
- Closer2Fame on October 16, 2013 at 18:45 said:
  
  What is wrong with this Rafa Delfin?!
  How dare he put Ms. Vicky in a bad light?!!!
  And he’s also FILIPINO!?!!!
  
  Megan’s mother is the nicest person you’ll ever meet!
  Any proud hard working mother does not deserve to be treated this way.
  She is a woman with good principles..
  hence she was able to raise a daughter who’s beautiful inside & out!.
  
  I can’t wait for KARMA to get even with this irresponsible writer!

It’s uncanny how much she looks like Whulandary Herman from Indonesia. They could pass off as sisters, don’t you think?

out of topic tito norms, what is up with those bpci crowns? i’ve seen barangay pageants that look way better than those “money-contest pageants” looking crowns.
- Closer2Fame on October 16, 2013 at 13:18 said:
  
  I agree! How come Tito Norms?..
  Low budget perhaps?
  - Lalo La on October 16, 2013 at 13:21 said:
    
    its like there nothing special to the crown.

    so this is not true in any way?
    
    Atleast naman sana US$1000 worth ang each crown……….

    @La Lola
    
    I wish they would update that page…
    There’s already a lot anomalies that happened since their last post..
    like the BBP-Gold swim suit glam shots..
    The bikinis are recycled as in the PEG are bacon briefs – Ew gross!!!
  - Sheena on October 16, 2013 at 18:31 said:
    
    Closer2Fame, yung bikinis ang… Errr… ______ fill in the blanks nalang. Di naman siguro ganun kahirap kumuha ng sponsors for the swimwears diba. Maawa naman sana sa mga candidates na susuot. Very unhygienic!

When it comes to PASSION, DEDICATION and HARD WORK.

No one can beat Ara!!!

And for me, those traits best represents the Filipino people. 🙂

To you Ara, I know you’ll do great!

ARIELLA HERNANDEZ ARIDA FOR THE WIN!!!!! 😀
- benji on October 16, 2013 at 19:07 said:
  
  But when it comes to progress and development (improvement for that matter) she seems to be beaten by everyone!

    @Benji
    
    Yeah, like our country.. Joke! hehehe 😀
    Anyway, that is your opinion…… for now. 😉
    
    Let’s just wait and see! 😀

    @Benji
    
    Sobra ka naman maka “walang progress”..
    The girl is working really hard and she deserves our support. 🙂
    
    @Fabtastix
    
    Infairness sa bansa natin, gumaganda naman na ang economiya..
    I agree! Let us see for ourselves nalang during the competition.. 🙂
