The #AQ2018 Presentation Show was held at the Mayuree 2 Ballroom of Dusit Thani Manila hours earlier where members of the camp’s Class of 2018 were presented to selected members of the media and invited guests. But before I give you some juicy details, let me clarify first that the more than twenty beauties presented are being fielded not only in Bb. Pilipinas 2018, but also Miss World Philippines and – possibly – Mutya ng Pilipinas. And there are two (2) more ladies – relative thoroughbreds in my opinion – have not been introduced yet. I was told that these duo will beat the deadline set by BPCI. If you want clues, check the final sentence in this entry.

Anyways, the usual suspects were formally introduced. I cannot name all of them yet (especially the newbies) so as to protect their identities for now. Not all of them will make it to the list of Binibinis for 2018, and as I have said, some of them are being prepared for MWP2018 instead.

The familiar names and faces so far are Volleyball superstar and former PBB Housemate Michele Gumabao, Miss Bicolandia 2017 Kayesha Clauden Chua, MWP2016 4th Princess Sandra Lemonon, Bb. Niyogyugan 2016 & Reyna ng Aliwan 2017 2nd Runner-Up Ahtisa Manalo, runway model Annalita Vizcarra, MWP2017 2nd Princess Zara Carbonell, Cebuana top model Wynonah Buot, 2015’s Binibini 33 Neesha Murjani, last year’s Binibini 28 Juliana Kapeundl plus Binibini 38 Anna Patricia Asturias.

Now how about the two heavyweights I mentioned above? Well, let’s just say that they could spell a good difference in the competition the minute they formally file their respective applications. One is a crossover national titleholder, while the other lady is the daughter of a former Bb. Pilipinas titleholder. Call it Alcoholics Anonymous meets Fifty Shades Freed. (Get it?) 😉

  3. Catriona for the win! She’s going for the kill. Independent with the help of Aces nd Queens. Strategy na rin. If it’s her destiny to represent us at Miss Universe, so be it. Cat is a hard worker, ambitious, and committed. May hunger to win and that’s a big plus. Go go go Cat #CatrionaGrayBBP2018

  4. I hope to see Angelia Ong. Her exotic beauty is in for this year’s Binibini. Ang gandang laban niya with Catriona Gray, Wynona Buot, Eva Patalingjug, Michelle Gumabao, Jehza Huelar, Aya Abesamis, Michelle Marquez Dee, labanan na talaga. Sana sumali rin si Angelica Alita at Charmaine Elima at Leren Mae Bautista and Maria Gigante. This is one bongga batch!

  5. wow si Edjelyn pala yung super ganda maglakad (yung 8th na naglakad). She has the best pasarela for me among the girls in the presentation show

  6. According to a Missosology post that’s exclusively only for registered users access, Cat is submitting her application today (Jan 8, 2018). She’ll be an independent candidate. May enhancements rin daw cya. Idk if true ung enhancements but surely it will be exciting!! 🙂

    • It will be a difficult and different competition for catriona. Hindi pabebe ang bb pilipinas.

      • I think she knows what she has to adjust on since she was present when MU was staged here, she watched the show.. but we’ll see how she competes ❤️ I have faith in Cat. She’s a smart lady!

  7. If hindi na mapigil si Cat then go!
    I am sure di sya uuwing luhaan. Wish ko lang sana mapaganda pa ang kanyang body (improve her boobs and butt) para sure MUP!

  8. I must say, based on the girls presented last night…This is kinda “weak” btach for A&Q.

    The 2 rumored buzzer beater ladies (Aya and Cat) if true will be the banner ladies of A&Q this year.

    But I hope that Cat waits for another year.

    As for Maine, we all know she is beautiful (she reminds me of Dominican Republic 2009) but if SMA doesn’t like her, she’ll end up clapping again or Hannah Ruth 2.0 BUT, i really wish she’d give it another try.

  12. Alcoholics Anonymous is Aya Abesamis
    Fifty Shades of Grey… Gray, Catriona Elisa M.
    So exciteddddd!

  13. Tumabi tabi na mga beks. Ang Reyna ay dadaan na. For experience Lang daw sa Iba. Puro shongit kasi. Ang mga kapit bahay kinakabahan na nag aabang na. But if ever sana Hindi Gawain sa pinas yung MU.

  15. Hindi naman real time Yung post sa IG so there’s a possibility that Cat is in Manila now. MUP crown or nothing! That is if SMA is taking down notes based on recent editions!

    • If Cat joins this yr , I hope she just simply does her job and not mind the buzz around her .
      She is in a very difficult spot … like Maria of Thailand last yr .

  16. Cat hopefully waits for another year, …. reference might be to VIcky Rushton who was a former Mutya

    where is Alaiza Malinao, Jamaica Alban, Jessica Gonzales,…

    • Vicky is KF. Ang weird naman kung A&Q ang source ni Tito Norms tapos KF girl pala yung tinutukoy

  17. ha! from the first photo (back view) the two in the middle (white and turquoise gowns) and the one at the far right (yellow gown) and one on the far left (strappy bright red gown) seem to stand out because of their confident stance and perfect posture…who are they???

    • Jeremi u have a poor memory
      Remember a MW a MU a MI and a RH among others have come from this group in the last1-4 years
      So do not underestimate them
      Tse hihihi

  21. kung sasali si Cat…yung ibang crowns ( except MUP) at RU nlang pinaglalabanan ng the rest na kasali

    • UGOK! LAB LAB LAB KO SI PUSAKAL PERO WAG KA PAKAKAMPANTE DAHIL DI MO ALAM ITAK NI MADAM. MASHADOW KANG PAPAMPAM DIYAN. DIMO PAMAN NAKIKITA ANG LABAN MAY JUDGEMENT DAYZ KA NANG KURDAPYA KA! PAKAININ KITA NG JZAMOD NI CLINT BONDAD YOULIKE?

      • mas UGOK ka !!! pakialam mo sa opinyon ko? Sarap mong isako at ilibing sa payatas balahurang bakla !!! di k p kombolsyonin nang matigil kn !!!

  22. READ BETWEEN THE LINES MGA VAKLA! YUNG CROSSOVER DAW ES SE KAREN IVASKOW! GINIVE UP NIYA NA ANG ME KROWN KE COLOMBIA! CHAROT! GUNNING FOR THE MU KROWN NA DAW! FIRT EVER IN HISTORY NA MISS EARTHZ NA MISS UNIVERZE PA. CHAROTELLA!

  23. It’s too early to judge the plight of these girls in the BbP pageant. I would rather commend the effort of this camp to mount such a presentation in a very convenient venue. I am sure these girls must have felt elated on how they are significantly valued as the real items of the pageant. Kudos, A&Q!

    • TOO EARLY TO JUDGE KA NGAYON, KANINA LANG BIGAY NA BIGAY KA DUN SA MGA NAKABLUR NA FEZLAK NA SABE MO NA KUDOS SA MUKAP EH NAKABLUR NGA PANO MO MAKITA KALOKA! AHAHAHHAHAHAHIHIJIPUKIKIKIKI.

PADILA KITAKE CLINT KARKLINZ YOU LIKE?🤭😘

      • Konting decency naman. Bakla kana nga babaklain mo pa ‘tong article? Why the hate?

      • Never mind that uneducated mammal. Ang hirap basahin ng comment n’ya! Kaloka.

  24. Catriona Gray is vacationing in her hometown in Australia while Aya Abesamis in the US specifically in NYC. Wag naman sanang ma delay ang mga flights nila at di makaabot sa deadline. OMG exciting Tito Norms! Anong impression mo sa mga batch 2018 A&Q Girls? May mga potential winners ba?

  25. oh wow no Leren Mae Bautista????

    shet ka Jonas bakit mo pagsasabayin si Aya at si Catriona jusko!!!! isa isa lang bes! may next year pa!

    hmmmm, im beginning to be convinced na Cat will join this year. Now that i think about it, it makes sense kung bakit parang may vibes na lean ang A&Q batch this year. Akala ko nung una wala lang talaga sila marecruit, Yun pala dahil sasali si Cat. Pero sana talaga sa 2019 na lang siya sumali

      • grabe ka naman. I felt nga na among those rumored A&Q girls that will join (except Aya and Cat obviously) she;s the best in terms of facial beauty and pageant experience.

  26. Ok my ideal TOP 6

    from Aces:

    Catriona Grey
    Michelle Gumabao
    Aya Abesamis
    Ahtisa Manalo

    From KF:

    Monika Santa Maria
    Michelle Marquez Dee

    Possible Runners-up:

    Eva Patalinhug -KF
    Kayesha Chua- A&Q

    *Btw, not surprised with Aya Abesamis…
    Maybe that’s why her cousin Miss World 4th princess, Mafae Yunon was allegedly a mentor to the girls this year…*

  27. Cat’s ig has hints on joining Bb. Pilipinas. She’s obviously gunning for MU. Meron pa HIV/AIDS si ate and much more fierce make-ups na nakapost which is unusual :)))

  28. If cat will join siya lang ang pinaka malakas na manok ni jonas for MUP. If wala… labanan ng mga taga kf

    • Who are the KF bets ba? I only like Vim but her height is her setback at 5’5.

  29. Repeater Neesha Murjani😏mukha p rin bakla ..clapper pa rin yan…wannabe..pd sya s Super Sireyna..ambisyosang palaka!…

      • FIFTY shades of Gray!!!—-CATRIONA GRAAAAAY!!!–AND ALCOHOLIC ANONYMOUS–”AA”—THAT’S AYA ABESAMIS–DAUGHTER OF PMAP MODEL OF THE 80’S DENDEN ABESAMIS AND DESIREE VERDADERO!!

  33. Bakit wala si Sirene? Akala ko pa naman totoo yung source ko. Na-excite naman ako tapos nakafollow oa ang aces sa Instagram niya. Wala ba talaga siya diyan?

    • My thoughts also. Anyways, she is still 24 pa naman if I’m not mistaken. Pwede pa next year.

      Suko na ba talaga si Maine Elima??? Pwede pa siyang mag MIP. Turning 26 pa yun next year eh.

  34. The two “heavyweights” unnamed could be Catriona Gray and Michelle Dee. But I hope the former changes her mind and wait for another year instead. Cat is a shoo-in for MUP and if ever MU 2018 happens in PH, she “might” not get our 4th crown because of the very rare instances of homecourt decisions in MU.

    How about Maine Elima? Is she no longer joining? She has to try one last time. She could still be MIP.
