She proved that perseverance pays off. Among the local beauty queens, she has one of the best smiles along with peachy sacasas, Ruffa Gutierrez, Aileen damiles, yedda mendoza, shamcy supsup, mj lastimosa, and jezharry Javier.

She could have Willie Revillame
But this girl has principles . She does not marry for money
Lara Q is one of the prettiest and most articulate BP winners in my opinion.
Middling height din si Quigaman(-Alcaraz). I think she is 5’4″. She can be VR’s template.
I say again – Tyra Goldman for BBP-International 2022/3!
May nakita na ako’ng dalawa’ng pageant page na nag-confirm (from MIO mismo) na for 2021, 29 will be the age ceiling. It was a concession, apparently, to account for the “lost year” (2020, due to SARS-Cov2) at hindi nga naman kasalanan ng mga kandidata…. Question is, will this be permanent? Or, will they revert to 28 once things “normalize” and a vaccine is in place?
OK na rin, kasi when you think about it, The Miss Paris Group caters to older Japanese women (certainly NOT teens or early-20’s types preoccupied with cosplay). And we all know that Japanese women today postpone marriage/having baby into their 30’s, in favor of career….
Three sons. Landlord ko, tatlo din sila’ng boys, no sister. Ta’s ‘to’ng neighbor namin (dito), tatlo’ng boys din – # 1 is now in Kindergarten, # 2 is post-toddler, & #3 is baby just perfecting his crawl.
🙂
I’ll bet one son will enter show business after a pageantry stint like his Old Man. One will be a basketball player, also like his Old Man. And the last one will either be doctor or lawyer.
Kayo, po, Mr. Tinio? ‘Di po ba, all boys din kayo’ng magkakapatid?
She’s 5’6… She looks short cause she’s standing beside to big-footed girls towering at 5’11 and 6’ft barefeet… add some 6″ heels and these girls becomes giants!
@ Closer2Fame ‘Di ba nga, po, ang declared height sa pageants ay “actual height plus 2 inches ” (for heels)? ‘Eh, ‘di, tama. 5’6″ ang turing sa kanya.
🙂
Sir, her Runner-up is Scandinavian (Finland). I will not be surprised….
Maliit lang ‘to’ng si Lara. Dati, may photo na lumabas sa diyaryo, may in-endorse siya’ng clothing store sa isa’ng high-end mall dito sa Maynila. Kasama niya si Marco at si Luis Alandy.
At pansinin mo, po, ‘yung recent photos niya at her baby shower (?). She was in strapless white long dress…. Why are you, po, paranoid when I say our kweens are short? We are a short race, and foreigners do not expect us to tower…. Maria Gigante, Teresita Ssen, Rushton, Thomalla….
@C2F @Flor wag na kayong mag away. Lara’s height is 5’5.5″
@Flor as to your question. MIO already clarified that the 29 years old age limit is only for this incoming edition. Again, it’s only an adjustment made to accommodate those candidates/crowned queens that are affected by the postponement. Afterwards they will go back to the 28 years old age limit from the 2022 edition onwards.
Lara is 5’6″ in height. I have seen her in person.
@ miss tissa Oo nga, po. Declared height. I said so. 🙂
Anyway, I concede. I should not have brought up the whole height thing. My apologies to PLQA.
Happy trails to the new member of their family! All the best from us here, at normannorman.com.
