Binibini Face-Off #4 pits one of the shortest Binibinis against the tallest in the batch

bbplogo2015a Now this fourth Binibini Face-Off is all about height at the onset. Beyond that, you have to see through their individual qualities to see who can deliver the goods in the competition, hence, having the edge over the other.

There is no denying that Binibini 18 Crissa Marie Mendiola will leave a large majority of the Bb. Pilipinas 2015 Official Candidates in the dust if vertical advantage is used as pageant benchmark. With an official height of 5’10” (which actually appears to be more than an inch longer in person), she has the statuesque description fitting nicely to a T. And she shows a lot of promise that could further be polished should she opt to take advantage of the opportunities coming her way.

Teresita, on the other hand, is one of the height-minimum qualifiers in this batch. At 5’5″ (which could easily pass off as 5’6″ the minute she does her single poses), she does need that extra effort to physically stand out amidst taller contenders who still augment their stance with platform heels. But then again, she has pluses that no other Binibini possesses. Aside from having that ‘daughter-of-a-celebrity-couple‘ tag that easily invites press people to interview her ahead of the others, she is a school-accomplished jazz and ballet dancer whose rigorous trainings in the discipline gave her the correct posture and lithe moves that would be hard to ignore the minute she starts hugging the spotlight. If that’s not enough, this girl knows how to shine in public, as only a showbiz-exposed personality can deliver with the right mix of poise and stage presence.

So who’s your bet between the two, dear readers? Mine’s Teresita. 🙂

  2. Wyn Wyn for the win! Such quiet confidence. Height is might all right but you can’t deny her star quality. She may be unappreciated in the Philippines because let’s face it her exotic beauty is not something us Filipinos would want to die for i.e. Janine Tugonon but she will be a sensation in the international stage in my opinion. Her celebrity connection aside, her drive to win a crown and A&Q training will propel her to clinch one of the crowns – either International or Intercontinental. Good luck Teresita!

  4. I have a feeling she’ll end up following the same route as that De Leon daughter and Bianca Manalo’s sister; impeccable credentials aside, you’d still be judged basically on physicality. I can’t get past the fact that when she smiles, you see a cute siopao face and cute siopao face just won’t cut it for MU. But ive seen her talent portion and she’s sooooo pretty and put-together with a model body to die for so maybe she’ll be a good fit for the other ‘minor’ crowns

  5. I see Sen bagging a major crown pending QA but could see her in a traditional Filipiniana for NC. She is Exotic,Fresh and Striking reminiscent of Venus Raj.

  6. All of their heights have been subtracted an inch or two as an excuse of BPCI to not include Ali Forbes as one of the official candidates due to the huge conflict of interest.

  8. My faves as of now:

    Lubina, Wurtzbach, Verzosa, Colis, Bartolome, Rabajante, McGarry….

  9. Pak! I have a feeling that she’ll get one of the crowns along with Pia, Janicel, Kimverlyn and Alaiza.
