Of the limited number of ladies from NCR and GMA who got the callback from the organizers of Miss Grand Philippines, eleven (11) showed up for the screening at the 2GO Hub in Luneta Park last Saturday afternoon. No familiar names or faces in the group that would surprise anyone. And there were also no applicants who can be easily identified as coming from either A&Q or KF. But there were a few who stood out and will most likely be green-lighted as the Metro Manila reps in the roster of Official Candidates to be known soon. There were five (5) other ladies expected but did not make it (with valid excuses) and will still be evaluated at a later time.

The screening panel included Miss Grand International 2013 3rd Runner-up Ali Forbes, Bb. Pilipinas 2014 Candidate Sarah Jireh Asido, Miss Philippines Earth 2014 Candidate Leslie Pine, Raymond Golez of Sash Factor, Atty. Art Lascano, Mr. Joem Guillen and John dela Vega himself.
The identities of the passing candidates from NCR will be revealed together with the several entries coming from the pageant’s eight (8) regional coordinators by early July.
Stay tuned. 🙂

Have you seen contestant number 4………the nerve!!!!
OO NGA! SUSMARYOSEP, SAAN SYA HUMUGOT NG LAKAS PARA SUMALI? LAYLAY ANG SUSU ANG LAKI LAKI PA NG PUSON, HINDI RIN NAMAN SYA CONFIDENT SA KANYANG TWO PIECE!
hahaha omg this is by far the best comment i have read sa blog ni tito norms. ahahaha winnur!
Eh kuya norms may balita ba kay pia? She can easily claim the crown, why not to join o sya na gawing reps naten, kahit start pa lang ng screening, parang na fe feel ko na walang diyosa ang sasale sa pageant na yan, kung may mag stand out man, i think clapper ang reps naten sa MGI, dapat pinaubaya nalang ni jdv sa binibini ang title na yan,
I think Pia has decided to steer clear of pageants for the rest of 2014.
Daming reklamo… kayo kaya ang magpapageant! hahahaha…. I think kaya nagkaroon ng National pageant ang miss Gand is because requirement siya ng may ari ng Miss Grand International. And kaya naman may regional screening para di na mag effort mga girls na gusto mag join na pumunta pa dito sa Manila para lang magpa screen, for me okay lang na may regional screening para mabigyan ng chance yung mga taga province. Bigyan nlng natin ng chance tong pageant since bago palang naman. Wag masyadong nega agad. Dami niyo kuda eh di sana kayo na ang bumili ng franchise for Philippines at gawin nyo ang trip nyo sa pageant. (peace!!) 🙂
