Back in 2014, Vanessa Saliba was still a fresh-faced 18 year-old newbie in the pageant scene who signed up for Bb. Pilipinas as an Independent. Now, the more beautifully leveled-up young lass has returned to the nationals, armed with all the training and development sessions she went through with Aces & Queens. She knows better than to be just one of the pretty faces. And she now possesses a more distinct confidence amd maturity to step up to the demands of the competition as your Binibini 9.
Here is what Vanessa shared with me:
“I am Vanessa Saliba – of Fil-Lebanese mix, 21 years of age and representing Tanay, Rizal. I graduated from Our Lady of Fatima University with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Travel Management. I’ve worked as an sales associate in a company that supplies interior design finishes and now I am working as a print and fashion model.
I am so happy to be an official candidate of Bb. Pilipinas for the second time around and I am so overwhelmed with all the love and support I have been receiving from my family, friends and supporters. This time. I am more prepared because of the trainings and guidance of my Aces & Queens family. Believe me, I am most ready to get one of the crowns. 🙂”

For the terno competition of Bb. Pilipinas 2017, Vanessa will be dressed up my friend-designer Claiza Bihasa who is making a truly beautiful Filipiniana with an elegant wow factor. And she is all the more excited to go through all pre-pageant events now. Will she be more successful as a second-timer?
Your thoughts, dear readers? 🙂
maganda period. some of her photo shots make her look old but when she talks in the camera she dosent look mature. i wish her well …
Personally, I find her beauty to be balut — a delicacy in the Philippines but an acquired taste abroad. To me, prototypical maputi and bilog features that Filipinos and Asians love. Mooncake, too, I suppose.
BUT I do love her personality. She has a vibrancy and charm that you can’t train (but you can polish).
I wouldn’t be surprised if she pulls a Hammond or Alita.
This girl has one of the most beautiful faces in this batch 🙂 One of my favorites – good luck, Vanessa !

i like her eyes and widows peak (the heart shaped hairline) Light make up suits her since she have Northern Arab ancestry she tends to look 5 yrs older. She is jamila. parehas sila ng roots ng spouse ko sana mag place. good luck ms. Saliba
Baka magJennifer Hammond itey 🙂
Good Luck habibi 🙂
hi bong700
BBP should choose someone young. Wag naman hung 26-28 na. Look at the other pageant winners in other countries, youngish and fresh. Wag na matured.
Beautiful! I like her.
Wow this girl is gorgeous.as much as I want her to win a title I believe she’s better off with a runner up placement for now then come back in 2 years. She would totally rock the universe. Is it just me or she kinda look like the reigning miss universe.
I googled her old photos. Neneng neneng pa siya noong 2014. She has improved a lot.
True. now you see what a camp can do. total transformation from her 2014 stint!
pretty, may face value… runner up or Supra
Runner up ka muna iha, bata ka pa naman. Gamitin mo muna ang pagkakataon para sa training mo. Meron ka pang hanggang 5 taon para makasali ulit sa bbp. Sana tumangkad ka pa kahit 2 inches lang. Hihihi
Maganda din sya. but a proper makeup and styling and pasarela will decide if she is worthy for the crown. sa tingin ko shes a runner up material sa ngayon. bata pa naman in terms of age. if she gets a runner up or nothing, hopefuly she will join in the next years, in the right time. This girl needs a good caring from her Aces Family. Use pia and kylie inspiration. sali lang ng sali.
semi finalist at the most for me
I like her!
I rememher her from 2014. Her pose in swimsuit photo was very awkward.
What a difference three years make…
She’s a beauty.
