Beauty. Brains. Behavior… & a little bit of pixie dust. ✨
Summer is in bloom & so am I. 🌻🌸 By @nikkimiruiz & @lorenznamalata
“If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?” 🌸
First off, all the captions in the photos above are courtesy of your #Binibini31 Katarina Sonja Rodriguez who continues to fight strong in Bb. Pilipinas 2017 as we enter the final two weeks of competition. For some, she could be the face of this batch, or one of the more outstanding faces therein.
On my list, she remains in solid contention. I may not have placed her on the highest tier yet, but I am quite certain she will do well in the end. She has loyal fans and followers who have constantly stayed with her all throughout. And given a personality that is always accessible and a temperament that is uber cool 99% of the time, she can only turn those interviews and closed-door assessments into engaging conversations.
I chatted with her recently and these are her latest thoughts about the competition:
Katarina signing her photo at the exhibit
“I’ve been enjoying everything so far – taking it all in as it comes and learning a lot. Am always trying to remember why I am competing – and that my toughest competition is myself. I’d really love to live up to all the positive things people say about me.
All the girls are fantastic! And of course, I can only ever control my own efforts. But I’m not letting the pressure get into me. I’ve had a philosophy for some time in always being the person you want to be. If ever, it will just add up to my aura – I’m aiming for sexy. Sexy in class. Sexy in intelligence. And sexy in discipline.”
What say you, dear readers? Where is Katarina standing on yours? 🙂

There is a reason why sya ang iginitna sa limang iyan. Definitely, Katarina is the most powerful in this set pic
Parang manika ang face sa ganda, perfect for MI
Sorry Katarina dear, but I can definitely speak from experience. Anytime anyone says to me they are “aiming for sexy” … that’s when it becomes NOT sexy.
BUT I do agree with Norman. Katrina’s face is among one of the most beautiful of this batch.
Miss International at best. If not she can be polished much better.
Another gorgeous truly Filipina beauty. Mestisahin pero pure Filipino parang si Shamcey, Toni Hipolito, Maricris Pascual and Kimverlyn.
Good luck! By joining you elevate the quality of beauty in the competition together with Ms Elima and a couple of others. Truly beautiful faces.
Very lovely face. Well-spoken.
If only she was tall.
Good luck to her.
PS
It’s so nice to see the ladies wearing regular heels in the group photo instead of those ugly chunky tacky platform shoes.
They look so classy and sexy wearing classic high heel shoes 😊
Friends sila ni Queen Jehza, ang BbPilipinas-Universe 2017.
Sana makuha nman ni Kata ang MI para DU30 supporter ang mga Big Winner😂😂😂
Tse! hihihi. Not a fan of her beauty but she would be MI at best for me.
It is a disadvantage if a girl is Du30 supporter. Stella is Araneta, and so is Mar Roxas. Off if maka-Duts nga si Kata kahit sya pa MUP ko
she looks like Priyanka Chopra miss world 2000 of india
This girl have a lots potentials. Beauty and Brain. theres a beauty and strong awra if she smize. i really like her face. her beauty. her height is just okay. her body can be trained and so her pasarela. But during press presentation and Jag jeans event she disappointed me. she always did something which are not necessary on being a beauty queen especially sa pagrampa. but still im liking her. hope ko lang na sana nababasa nya ang mga comments na makakatulong sa kanya. and she will do the right/best performance for her come preliminary competition and especially sa finals and makakuha sya ng crown. supra is my 2nd choice for her. if not, we can have a chance to win our first Miss Intercontinental crown.
Inulan ka ng dislikes Ate hehe
Sirene ako for mup
Peters for m.i.
Elima
Heuler
Deleon
Ibe
Gabriela
Not a queen prototype!
Next please!
Kat definitely has one of the prettiest faces of the whole bunch..
Sirene nailed the last shot! WOW!
Maganda…sexy…artistahin!
NEXT!
Hmmmm? Aiming for sexy?
Keep aiming sweetheart.
Sexy is like humility. You don’t advertise it, you simply apply it and “other” people will acknowledge that you have “it.”
Sorry.. turn off👎
Good luck anyways…
This is not the time to aim ‘for sexy’.
U have to be sexy now . U r in competition already
Love that punchline!
She’s MU for me.
