The Bb. Pilipinas 2013 winners produced a Miss Universe, a Miss International, a Miss Supranational, a Miss Universe runner-up and a Top 10 MTQI finisher!
Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach was the only winner in the Top 5 of Bb. Pilipinas 2013 who was not issued crown jewels being the sole runner-up. But it must have been written in the stars that she will eventually win and wear the best one after two years – the Miss Universe DIC art deco-inspired gems itself.
But there is more to Pia’s win that made the titleholders of Bb. Pilipinas Gold more special. It produced our 5th Miss International (Bea Rose Santiago), our first Miss Supranational (Mutya Johanna Datul) and a Miss Universe runner-up (Ariella Arida). In addition, this batch had the last recorded Philippine paricipant in Miss Tourism Queen International with Cindy Miranda placing in the Top 10. Tally-wise, this quintet edged out the equally-successful 2012 counterpart simply because it had more victories than top placements. It also eclipsed the reigning group in terms of collection.
Let us now reminisce on the crowning moments of Bb. Pilipinas Gold more than two years ago. 🙂

Haven’t you noticed Norman that Pia’s number is 15? Isn’t it a premonition that her time to wear a crown is 2015? just thinking.

ONE OF THE BEST INTERVIEW OF PIA!
2015 is fruitful than 2013. Thanks God for all these blessings.
I beg to disagree. Mas maraming achievers and Batch 2013 compared to Batch 2015. In addition to those in the photo, consider these:
• Bb. #33 Parul Shah later joined Binibining Pilipinas in 2014 and was crowned Binibining Pilipinas – Tourism 2014. She was then appointed by Binibining Pilipinas to represent the Philippines in Miss Grand International 2015 at Bangkok, Thailand where she placed 3rd Runner-Up.
• Bb. #47 Aiyanna Camille Mikiewicz was crowned Miss Tourism World Philippines 2013 on May 17, 2013. She competed in Miss Tourism World in Equatorial Guinea on October 12, 2013. She placed as Top 20 semifinalists and won an Award of Queen Tourism Asia.
• Bb. #18 Christine Paula Love Bernasor was sent to the Miss Scuba International 2013 pageant in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia on Dec. 20 where she placed 1st runner-up.
• Bb. #48 Angeli Dione Gomez was later crowned Mutya ng Pilipinas 2013 Tourism International on July 26, 2013 and crowned as Miss Tourism International 2013-2014 at a pageant held in Putrajaya, Malaysia on December 31, 2013.
Meanwhile, Zandra Flores represented England in Miss Supranational that was won by Mutya Datul.
This is the batch that got me interested in following beauty pageants and started lurking in this site. I remember the bashing Ara got left and right from her body shape to thick accent. She exceeded my expectation and during the finals I honestly thought she’d win the crown. But I think her style of enunciation is what pulled her down to 3rd runner which is not bad at all.
Hahaha, sino nmang tanga ang maniniwala sa yo Jack itch? Try harder. Lol
Si Baby Nica!
Bea and Mutya would have been great at MU too
Ara had the big chance of getting the MU crown earlier back then. she was invited to almost all events, of which she stood out in the mercedes benz fashion show..reigning queen olivia culpo even considers her gorgeous and would love to pass on the crown to her..came finals night, it was anybodys game as there was no single stellar candidate except maybe for spain who placed 1RU. While her now infamous ‘the color of joy’ gown failed her, it was not much to put a dent on the points earned for her topping the SS round which already catapulted her chances for the crown..but as fate would have it, her very weak non responsive answer could not mask the uncertainty of it exposing her lack of articulateness and made certain that the crown is not for her..sad..because she is facially beautiful..
Bea is just suited for Miss International. Arida is very determined to win, she also has the prettiest face in person. Wurtzbach at the time was too innocent, super palaban but without much direction. She really needed polishing. I believe Arida deserved this win. This is my most favorite year, still (sans Miranda, jk) But all girls deserved their titles 🙂
Charlene Gonzales believed that Pia should have a crown too. True enough…she now has the Bohemian Crytals, Diamonds, Sapphires and Topaz gems… Miss Universe 2015 crown.

Bea travelled a lot.
She’s been in Tondo, Divisoria, Recto, QC Circle and Navotas Port.
Not to mention her Bingo Bonanza projects and countless appearances in PTV4 and DZMM.
Indeed, Bea is the benchmark of Philippine Pageantry.
