As exclusively covered by normannorman.com earlier, the Binibinis of Bb. Pilipinas 2018 had their annual Sponsor Visit at David’s Salon Headquarters in Makati City with Owner/CEO Sir David Charlton and the entire Head Office Personnel who warmly welcomed everyone.
A Holy Mass started it all at 10am to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the DSI Building, followed by a short program. Everyone was brought to the Penthouse where lunch was served courtesy of Union Jack Tavern. Immediately after, there were photo ops with all the employees before the traditional pampering of all the ladies which included back massages, foot spa/reflexology and mani/pedi/nail gel services that really relaxed our beauties.
Here are photos from the said activity.
Samantha bernardo is always on point i noticed. i have yet to see a bad photo her. she always looks fresh. #pansinkolang
karen gallman is a goddess in official shoots but looks tired in her candids. #energygap
aya is owning the clean filipina look. her presence is getting stronger #tuloymolangmare
i also like that athisa is wearing the natural look. bongga. mas lalong lumalabas ang ganda nya #pak!
number 10 (keysi chua?) is slowly getting my attention
wynona, please mind your sitting posture always especially if there are cameras surrounding you ! #unflattering
cat is somewhat toning down her look. i dont like it.. she has to wear more sophisticated polished looks everytime on daytime. #wagkampantegurl
My TOP 6
1. Catriona Grey- Is on top of her game. The former international Top model, Miss World Philippines and Miss World TOP5 finisher is a clear deadringer of former BBP-Universe Lalaine Bennet who back then could’ve won Miss Universe with a better answer in the Q&A instead she ended up as 3rd runner-up… Cat’s effervescent personality, excellent comskills and extensive line-up of advocacies makes her a shoo-in for any crown but hopefull not BBP-international which could be the thoughest crown to win because we just won twice in less than 5 years. Would history repeat itself or would the pageant darling end up with the top prize which is our 4th Miss Universe crown?
2. Aya Abesamis- She continiously proves herself as a very desserving heir to her mother, Desiree Verdadero’s legacy as a former Miss Universe 3rd RUp… With her excellent comskills, top model skills remeniscent of her mother’s signature poses and her gorgeous styling that evokes Mirriam Quiambao, MU 1st RUp and Maxene Medina, MU Top 6, would she be able to snatch the BBP-Universe crown from Cat and surpass her mother’s placement at MU?
3. Muriell Orais- Recent interviews showed that she has greatly improved compared her past reign as Miss Earth- water 2011, Miss Olive-C Campus model and basketball courtside reporter … Her modeling skills are also always spot-on but would the star flight-attendant meet the expectations of her superiors as the only employee representative of one of the major sponsors of BBP and beat the other front-runners for the top prize?
4. Michelle Gumabao- The volleyball superstar, commercial model, consistent dean’s lister and former PPB-housemate has Showbiz running in her veins. Being the daughter, sister, niece of cousin of Actors, models, politician and former BBP-titleholder, we all have high expectations for this public figure. I know she could rock an Irene Esser look and eat the microphone in one gulp… She definitely has the blessing of the pageant’s partner TV network being one of their high potential but would her father’s infamy prevent her from getting the Top prize?
5. Wynonah Buot- Everyone thinks that the beautifull former Miss CEBU comes from humble origins but she is in-fact a grand-daughter of a former town Mayor descended from pre-colonial warlords of Cebu… She has the best academic credentials among the front-runners and her multi-lingual comskills could be her best asset. Problem is her blood-relation to our current president which is a double-edged sword.. She could be favored by Miss Universe Org but would our local major sponsors allow her to win the national title? She may give the best answer among the TOP 15 but would it be enough for her to win the top prize?
6. Hence there is only 1 crown left for the final set of winners… and it could be given to any of the following girls:
Ahtisa Manalo
Anjame Magbitang-*She needs hair extensions to thicken her hair.*
Patrizia Garcia
Jheza Huelar
Sigrid Flores
Vicky Rushton
Samantha Bernardo
Karen Gallman
Patricia Asturias
Ena Velasco
Eva Patalinhug
I like Aya’s quiet confidence . I doubt she will deliver at Q&A well enough to win MUP.
Still Cat for MUP. I hope she does her homework before finals night.
I can’t see Buot from the pics above but she’s also my bet.
My other bets include Karen Sandra and Ajami ( I also doubt she will do well at Q&A , matigas ang dila sobra)
Orais is a stand out above . She may get a crown .
And Michelle … hope she she sheds off some weight .
such a doubting fabbie…hihihihih
Actually , I have no doubt at all that Ajami will not do well at Q&A. She had even trouble delivering memorized lines . With Aya, it all depends on the question. I think if she plays safe like her mom did during her time , she’ll prob be ok.
And what abt Cat ? She’s only 24. Who knows, she might get a question
She has no idea answering .. like What happened to MIss Thailand Earth 2018 and Miss Thailand Universe 2017. Hope she studies previous editions to gain the needed confidence .
To be honest, i dont see Aya as a threat to Cat.
@Fabian minsan lang ako mag comment. I saw meow and she really needs to lose weight. She needs to lose at least 10kg.mas healthy looking pa si gumabao. Cat was my mup. Hindi bobilya yun nagpataba
Jackiey , that’s 22 lbs!!!
Are u for real?
@Fabian I should know coz ka height at body frame ko si cat now minus the bobilya and I have 2 tween. cat is bordering ruffa g. But ruffa g have lorin and venice and ruffa g is at her 40s Cat should lose 10kg 22lbs. Did you notice how she always angle for a pic. At least the gumabao girl are muscles.
I love meow but we can’t be all praises . May time pa naman mag crash diet. Kaya pala pantay comment ni Gloria.
22 lbs?!?
@Fabian. Madami girls around 5’4 lang. ex Gallman and 33
Agree
Karen can be MGI or MIntercon
Momma N, may nag-offer na ba sa yo ng pera para ifeature or may solo pic or promotional/marketing strategies para sa alagang candidate or anak at sino sino po sila at magkano po hihiji cherette lang 😄
May nagtatampo ba sa yo kc dimo bet yung anak or alaga nila hihiji ☺
Sino ang pinakabruhang nameet mo sa pagiging blogger mo para sugurin namin hijihi😄 cherette
Bong , tito Norman is too classy to answer your questions .
Tse hihihi
hihihihi ano tong issue na itey bongavelles????
Fab, Malaysia baka sagutin ni momma N divahhh😄
Walang issue 4M😏
Meron din nagpapatanong din🤔
Momma N, among the major bloggers sa philippines beauty pagent including the super minor bloggers, sino ang pinakasikat at sino ang malakas kumita hihihi 😋
I have to say this bbp edition is kinda dragging.
4m , bakit naman? Let us know the candidates more and let them enjoy celebrity a little longer .
Kill joy , tse hihihi
super slow veks!!! talent is next week. what else do they need to do? hihihihi watch lahat yan maggain ng weight cum finals night… hihihihi
I like Aya here.. parang may strategy sya. Slowly but surely.
Go Aya!
the one and the original bida kontrabida is back
anung petsa na mga vahklah
wala pa rin charity event
jusko
BPCI nga eh
There’s something very baduy and old fashioned with eva’s Styling . Athisa’s face is so common in the west. She’s standing out only because she is so fair and caucasoid loooking .IT’S STILL CAT’s CORONATION PARTY IN MARCH!
I agree on Ahtisa very ordinary here in US. #12 is way too skinny her arm is skeletal, scary skinny…
fake lahat
puso lang ang tunay
Fake nose
Fake boobs
Flat puwet
Fake teeth
bilbil
Hindi naman napepeke ang bilbil. LOL ikaw talaga, Glory patawa.
Cat and Muriel both have Beautiful small face and long neck. Cat looks divine in that collage photo.
I think all the girls are …” lovely, pretty, captivating, so exciting, these girls will surely win your heart” Kudos to Nonong Pedero for composing this song.
Sobrang ganda ni Binibini 17 Atisha Manalo. Parang Barbie ang mukha, Nakikita ko na cya ang Binibining Pilipinas International. Wag lang maging pangit sagot nya sa Q&A.
lol!!!! hihihihihi
For Ahtisa, she can look divine with the right make-up. This make-up below, the combination of very red lips and dark eyes, aged her.
Kaya pala nag bitiw si madam Cory as ND ng MWP para walang conflict of interest sa pagsabak Nya sa Binibini ng BBPCI.
very Lindsay Custodio
Where is Hello Kitty Cat ? 😦 Just wondering 🙂
Anyways, Aya looks great in her photos. Wynona, Eva, too.
Good luck to all the girls – keep the momentum going til the finals 🙂
Cat is by the top of the stairs, with all the other girls. The focus of this sponsor shoot is Aya.
The standouts: Muriel and Aya (ganito dapat make-up niya, light lang)
I like Eva here, especially the pic where she’s smiling.
More picas:
Guwapa ni Trixia Marana!
Thanks – I could barely see & recognize Cat that far 😦
Cat is so beautiful in your photo collage, Morena – the perfect look 🙂
Hi Jen. This photo collage is from instagram, not mine 😉
@ Morena – thanks just the same for sharing. Appreciate it 🤗😇🤗
This is by far the best photo of Eva, hindi stiff at virginal ang dating #AllTeaAllShade
Standout ang poise at styling ni Aya.
Pero wag naman masyado pahalata. Halos Aya show na nangyari.
Nakakaloka talaga si Kezia Warouw, sumali ng Binibining Pilipinas lol. Where’s Cat?? Was she absent in this event or hindi lang kinuhanan ng Norman team ng picas at tinambakan ng Kezia?
Bitter ka? Alangan namang puro catriona na lang
Di siya pwedeng maging bitter? Pero ikaw at si gloriamoran ekek pwede?
Bakit parang magkamukha itong sina Juliana at Edgelyn ?sorry ha pero bakit mukhang tanders na sila?
Wynonah Buot for MUP. Umaawra na ang veks…Slowly and steady peaking. Love seeing some of the girls starting to transform.
Trulili pero mas gusto ko ‘yong make-up niya the other day.
Wynona is also in my shortlist of favorites.
Hope she wins one of the crowns.
beauty gonzales
true
true
true
Is it true may nude photo/s si mareng michele? Diba bawal? Ask ko lang.
fake news!
Eva,Samantha,Muriel,Anjame,Aya standout ladies for this event.. Where is Cat?
BTW, 11th photo from top. Anyare sa fez ng katabi ni edjelyn? Pangit lang ba kuha ng photo? Or. Real skin break out
..after seeing these girls in photos for 3 weeks now, I can say that half of the group are really just fillers..i am sure there are a lot of other potential candidates who possess really beautiful faces matched with above average height..sana parang sea games din o Olympics.. Develop potential candidates at the grass root level.. Parang sa ms Colombia, smaller group pero lahat me laban.. Maganda kc sa paningin pag ganun.. Wla nakasira sa view.. Talgang masabi mu, beauty pageant ito.. At hindinkung anu anu pa.. Quizbee pageant, brainy pageant, ms masipag pageant etc.

Yung piloto hihihihihi
I like her even more. She’s connecting with her supporters.
Ms. Manalo is a bold star aura
Angelica dela Cruz awra.. D-i KO bet si ate.
What happened to Karen veks!?!?! Nawala na ang spark ng girlaloo… Her star is slowly dimming na…. Someone help this veks…hihihihi
Aya and Muriel are both standouts. Iba ang projection nila compared to the pretenders Where is Meow meow? Did our dear blogger get tired of her too? hihihihi
Off Topic:
Look at the photos at the back, is that Sirene Sutton? So Mercator Aces&Queens na si ate 🙂
Dati pa yan, vaks … Di na new news. And you can read it naman … Minsan tanga-tangahan lang para mapansin.

Karen Timbol
Snooky Serna
Lalaine Bennet’s beauty is between classical and modern… She could’ve won Miss Universe w/ a better answer…
This picture reminds me of how much Bea Rose Santiago is like a dopple-ganger of Aurora Pijuan and they both ended up as Miss International.
hmmmmm walang solo pic si Cat?
simple lang ang ganda ni EVA pero ok kuha nya dito…n also Samantha Bernardo #14
GUYS, GUISE, GAYS, MAY TANONG LANG AKO HA, MEJ OOT PERO RECYCLED BA YANG MGA BINIBINI COLORED SHIRTS/ BRASHIRTS O WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT!! BASTA YANG MGA SINUSUOT NILA SA MGA SPONSOR VISITS? NAKITA KO NA KASI TO PATI YUNG GREEN NA SUOT NILA LAST WEEK FROM THE PAST YEARS. 2014 PA ATA. SAME CUT SA SAME COLOR KAYA NAGTATAKA AKO KUNG RECYCLED BA?!? KALOKA SI MADAM KUNG GANON KASI MAGKANO LANG BA ANG CUSTOMIZED SHIRTS NA BULTO BULTO? DAVAH? BONGGA!! 😸🤭😘💙
Eh ano naman ngayon kung recycled? Mas nakakatulong nga yun kay Mother Earth, and besides those colored shirts worn by past candidates were given to the candidates themselves. Medyo O.A. ka lang sa UPPER CASE MO ANGELA!
BAKLANG EPAL, MARUNONG KA BA MAGBASA? NAGTATANONG AKO, MAY SINABE BA AKO NA MASAMA? FOOTAH KA MAKAEPAL KA LANG EH. CHAROTELLA KANG BAKLUSH KA! NOW SIT! PLAY DEAD! 😂🤣😂🤭😘
Ateng Angela, wag mo naman i “torch” masyado itong basher ni Cat. Sunog na sunog na. hahaha
Does that even matter? Masyado naman ata tayong makapal
ang mukha kung mag demand pa tayo, hello libre na nga ng bpci lahat, no registration fee, may pa food and beverage pa sa kandidata..
O ISA KA PANG BOBA KANG UGOK KA. COMPREHENSION BAKLUSH! LIBRE ANG COMMON SENSE, GAMITIN!😉 💅🏼
Aba at umaarangkada na naman ang binabaeng hukluban na ito. Ang laki ng problema mo sa recycled materials!
Veks BbP is a charity not a private business. And I don’t think those are recycled. Maybe same design but new shirts.
VEKS ANO TAWAG MO SA MGA SPONSOR VISIT NILA? BUSINESS YAN AT MAY CONTRACT FEE YEARLY. AND MOST CHARITABLE ORGS EH LESS THAN 10% LANG ANG NAPUPUNTA SA CHARITY. BEAUTY PAGEANT IS BUSINESS. HINDI LANG ETO HOBBY NG MGA ARANETA, KNOWN MGA YAN SA BUSINESS NILA. WAPAKELS AKO KUNG RECYCLED OR NOT(I LUV THESE SHIRTS NGA KASE LAKAS MAKA SEXY SA MGA GURLS), BUT DONT GET ME STARTED SA INFAMOUS “BAUL” NI MADAM NA 2016 LANG OFFICIALY NAGSAY GOODBYE 😉😉😘
Veks yes those are sponsors and yes they give money to BbP charities. And it is not my business to question BbP. Nobody has raised an eyebrow against them so I would take that they are doing a fine job as a charitable organization.
Also, running a pageant is costlier than you think. From transportation, to hotel accommodation food etc and also production. Sometimes, sponsorship may not be even enough to cover the entire cost.
What bothers me is that SMA remains very active in BbP. Who will be her successor in the future??? Lola Jonas? hihihihi
VEKS COVERED DAW LAHAT NG SPONSORS ANG COST JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER PAGEANT. SIGURO NEXT YEAR MAY SPONSOR NA DIN SA SHIRTS NA YAN. GRAPHICS AND TEE CALLING GRAPHICS AND TEE PH. CHAROT! 😂 UY EXPOSURE DIN YAN HA! SO WALEY GASTOS ANG ARANETA DIYAN ASIDE SA VENUE EXPENSES, ABS CBN DIN ANG STAGE AT PRODUCTION. MALAKING NEGOSYO TO AND DI TAYO PAGTIYATIYAGAAN NG DEKA DEKADA NI MADAM KAPALIT ANG COLOMBIANG MAHAL NIYA KUNG WALEY ANG DATUNG. PERO I LIKE TO THINK NA NAPAMAHAL NA DIN SIYA SA MGA PINOYS KAHIT MATARAY PARIN SIYA SA MGA FANS. SIGURO LATINA THING LANG YUN.
AND NO, HINDI SI CHARICE AND KAPALIT. ARANETA YAN AT DI NAMAN SIGURO MAGPAPASOK NG “OUTSIDER” SA ANGKAN NILA.
KUNG AKO TATANUNGIN, KUNG ACTING NATIONAL DIRECTOR LANG, BET KO SI MANAY VENUS. TUTAL SIYA NAMAN ANG BUMUHAY TALAGA SA PHILIPPINE PAGEANTRY AFTER SO MANY YEARS. IMAGINE KUNG SI NICOLE SCHMEETZ BA ANG PINADALA DUN, DI PARIN TAYO MAPAPANSIN NI TRUMP. IBA TALAGA ANG DALANG HALIMUYAK NI MANAY VENUS KAYA NAAKIT SI TRUMPETEL. NAALALA KO TULOY NA NAGCUTTING CLASSES PA AKO SA FIRST YEAR PARA MAPANOOD YANG SI VENUS SA MU. GRABE 8 YEARS NA PALA. SAN NA BA SI VENUS? BONGGA DAVAH? TIME FLIES LANG. 💙
I do not have a problem with Venus at all. But Lola Jonas will be her mentor! hihihihih
Don’t mind this “cheska” gay na lang. This cheska gay is a hater of Cat and walang valid argument na comments dito. May brain damage po siguro kaya he is like that.
Isaksak mo sa lalamunan mo ang valid argument mo! Isama mo na rin si Catriona na atat na atat magka-korona.
Honestly ayoko din nyang shirts na yan. Nothing wrong with recycling pero sana iba yung kulay. Ang cheep tingnan nung orange pink at lalo na yung green. I wish sana laging white top na lang pero iba iba ng cut para kahit recycled at least mukhang malinis at sossy. maganda rin yung violet na ginamit nila sa pictorial. Pero ayun sana lagi na lang white or dark blue siguro
Hindi ka nagbibigay ng pambili kaya wag mong pakialaman kung recycled.
panty nila recycled
