Only seven (7) ladies won. So where does that leave most of the remaining 33 aspirants? The sulking and crying leave-me-by-my-lonesome period is thankfully over.
Consider this post an epilogue to Bb. Pilipinas 2014. Just like in a book or in the movies, the end credits show updates on what’s new or what has now become of the characters we just watched. For sixteen of the less than-successful Binibinis, life goes on as follows: Bininini 1 Julian Aurine Flores is back to her first love - modelling.
Binibini 21 Racquel Kabigting just auditioned for Bodyshots 2014
Binibini 6 Anabel Christine Tia is back in Ozamiz City where she recently re-activated her art/cooking/dancing classes (aptly called Bb. Summer 2014 now) to kids and teens in a much bigger space.
Binibini 28 Carla Lizardo went back to her radio DJ work (seen above being visited by close pals Pia Wurtzbach and Bianca Guidotti) inside the booth. She has also resumed news presenting at PTV4.
Binibini 33 Erika Tilokani has been reuniting with her friends plus officially graduating from her course at Rizal Technological University.
Binibini 14 Emma Tiglao is also back to modeling like the hair-designing stint she did above for Maggie Wilson-Consunji.
Binibini 16 Zahara Soriano has also resumed work accepting modelling and promo gigs like the one she did for Smart above.
Binibini 10 Shauna Indra Curran (shown above with her father Bruce) has returned to Baguio to manage the family business.
Binibini 31 Angelique de Leon has returned to job hunting and is actually considering/deciding on a few good offers by now. She might even get an endorsement offer soon.
Binibini 32 Jeslyn Santos just spent the past weeks in Hagonoy, Bulacan before resuming her modeling assignments here in Manila.
Binibini 20 Kenneth Santiago is still keeping her 3feety shoe business alive while training at Philippine Airlines.
Binibini 34 Leonalyn dela Cruz has touched base with her auditing job again, but has also screened for Bodyshots 2014.
Binibini 29 KC Halili (2nd from right) will be resuming her Medical studies at UST.
Binibini 15 Kimverlyn Suiza has returned to work behind the camera.
The Instagram update of mentor Arnold Mercado above should give us a hint on what Binibini 17 Diana Arevalo could be up to next.
As for Binibini 8 Pia Wurtzbach, she has beautifully moved on from the Binibini experience and is currently mulling over other career options, like a resumption of her showbiz life perhaps?
So as you can see, these ladies have already learned to let go of the Binibini dream for now. Real life beckons and it’s time to process the next chapters of their individual journeys.
By the way, you can also add up developments about the other unfeatured Binibinis by replying below.. 🙂
Jaine Hidalgo,now 27 of batch 2012 is now working for a 5-Star Hotel (with Diana Arevalo) in Macau since bowing out from the pageant scene for good.The Bicolana girl then,25 was fierce and got the best bod from among the girls.Why,Anne Curtis even tweeted about it referring to her as #4. And of course,the best pageant bloggers in town didn’t let the season pass without mentioning about her in their blogs.Too bad,Jaine’s exotic Filipina good looks didn’t work too well to her advantage as other Pinay beauties Janine Tugonon (not bad,of course) and Katrina Dimaranan clinched the titles.And sadly,the Best in Swimsuit award went to Fil-Aussie Nicole Schmidt,which,had Jaine won could’ve allowed her to secure a Top 15 placement,at least.Well,win some,lose some and here’s to Jaine Hidalgo wishing her more success after Binibining Pilipinas.
Thanks for this, AC Ricks! 😉
Pia should really join again next year, as well as Emma and Ja Flores. Now, I understand what Kenneth Santiago meant in her Q&A. She’s willing to let go of her shoe business!
I just cant help but comment (am in hibernation) but thats the gorgeousness I missed from Diana Arevalo in the bbp14 pageant. I hope to see her again; possibly as a pageant mentor. Good luck Diana!
There’s something about Diana… I don’t know what it is but obviously hindi siya type ni SMA otherwise, kahit papaano close na sila since she joined 3x. Anyway, this year was an exception in terms of results. I don’t think SMA had something to do in selecting the winners this year kasi mapapahiya siya sa MUO and Isler if she intervened during the deliberations. Maybe that’s why MJ finally won because for the longest time she’s been the truly deserving MUP but maybe SMA thinks she’s not smart enough or sosyal. If SMA headed the panel this year I’m sure may crown si Nichole Manalo and maybe Yvette or Laura is MUP instead of MJ.
Diana was actually one of the girls na bet ni SMA and other important people from BPCI this year. She didn’t follow the styling na para sa kanya for the Finals Night.
I really want to see Emma and Ja come back again. They have so much potential and they work the stage pretty well.
Hanna should really consider MWP. Her personality reminds me of Megan (The geeky Chic side of course). Maybe give her a year and refine some of her parasella and to also tone her body. She is simply exquisite.
And for Pia, I really hope she doesn’t just throw away all the hard work she put in these past 2 years. It’s such a waste if she doesn’t give pageantry one more try. If she does not want to join BBP, then at least MWP. Though I will never see her wear any other crown other the Diamond Nexus Crown. Is she really giving up on pageantry?
Oh BTW, Tito Norms, is there any update on Katrina Dimaranan for MWP 2014?
I heard Kat is looking at 2015.
For MWP 2015? I read somewhere that Cory is not bent on letting past winners join her pageant to give others a chance.
I heard Julian Flores will be our representative for Miss Progress International at Italy…
Wow! I love it, C!
Alam ko May 9 na yung pageant.. wala pang sponsor… I hope makahanap sya soon…. For the meanwhile aside from modelling, I heard that she volunteered for the charitable and livelihood projects of the city of Manila. She will be helping out with vice-mayor Isko Moreno and former president Erap Estrada…
Emma, Kim, Pia, Ja, Angelique, and Diana should make a comeback!
Shauna as well, but she should really work hard in toning her body.
They are all beautiful and smart. Happy to hear the news about them especially Emma and Ja. Good luck to all of them.
I really love Emma. I hope she joins again, maybe in 2 years time. She’s still young and I know that ahe will develop a lot of skills and experience to back her up should she join again.
Happy Easter everyone.
Sir Norms, thanks for keeping us all posted. Hope you had a meaningfull and well rested vacay.
I did. Thanks Angel. 😉
I miss seeing these girls almost everday. Especially Julian, Emma, Angelique, Diana and Pia. Hope we can see more of them in the future pageant scene. They all look beautiful as always!
What camp is Arnold Mercado from?
AKA Mama Ru, he’s from Aces and Queens ofcourse!
