Tonight, six (6) of you will bring home the Bb. Pilipinas 2017 crowns, with two (2) runners-up separately flanking both sides. My fervent wish is – to whoever among you will be destined to win – please remain just the way you are. As Confucius says, “Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues”. Use this as the core value of your reign so that you won’t change. Value every individual along the way to success and embrace the victory with kindness in your hearts. Ralph W. Sockman puts it very clearly:
True humility is intelligent self-respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.
Congratulations in advance to the new Queens!

MU – M. De Leon, Peters, (baka may surpresa si Calingo)
MI – Elima, M. De Leon, Katarina
MS – Dindi, Sutton (or runner up si sutton)
MGI – A. De Leon
i have a strong feeling peters fits perfectly for MU because her beauty is very flexible. she can be transformed to a filipina or european. she has the body n height and i believe she can deliver with comm skills. Projection nalng kulang i think and way she presents herself that will be magnetizing to people in a certain room.
M. De Leon is transformable too but its her styling that will be very limited due to her jaw line. its hard to be versatile with her hair. being big boned i think is okay. Well, she’ll be standing along side with foreign women. I have a feeling she doesn’t really have that strong fighting will as PIA also the kind of maturity PIA had. In short, di pa hinog.
To Mr. Tinio and bong700. With all due respects, I NOW know the root of my ambivalence towards Ms.Huelar, though I first said in a previous post how PRETTY she was and that I hoped she get one of the crowns.
The photogrid below. Thank God for this! Ms. Huelar looks like a… “shawty”. As per hip-hop lingo. Remedy? GAIN WEIGHT, please.

Pa-virgin effect si Mariel de Lechon diyan! O nagtatago ng taba?! At ano ba meron kay Ortega bat nakapasok yan? Parang 1/4 lang nga katawan ang paa, punggok na ewan!
Apat sa listahan ni madam Norman ay hindi papalarin. I have a hunch that the judges eh Mukang walang alam kundi pagbabasehan Lang sa gabi ng parangal. Ngunit meron na silang set of winners, insiders edition. Mga Besh aminin.
DIndi Pajares should get a crown; Ruffa Nava may surprise with on-camera and stage performance but I am doubtful about her speaking skills; Angelique should be sent to an international pageant maybe United Continents ? Larah Lacap and Mae Ramos spoilers? My favorites are still Mariel and Jamaica , the MUP crown should be limited to these two
Jehza nailed this one! Miss Globe crown for her.
why am i always drawn to olive thomas. My sentimental fave is maine, but olive gives a vibe of a celebrity or personable queen. I dunno. I agree with others the facially hers is something that is not on the prototype which perhaps why get drawn. Her smile seems to be sincere. I dunno but I hope she gets a crown, she really deserves one. 🙂
