Behold your #Binibini13 Samantha Bernardo of Palawan in her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume created by Patrick Isorena:

The Goddess of Pearls
(Notes from the designer)

The costume is purely inspired by the national jewels of Palawan, the Palawan Pearls. We refer to the costume as “The Goddess of Pearls”

Just to give you a trivia, pearl diving has been a significant economic activity in Palawan. In 1934, they produced the world’s largest pearl which was measured by 9.4 inches.

The crown/headdress symbolises grandeur and power which was made up of hundreds of faux pearls.

The backdress which is inspired from Taklobo or Giant Pearl was hand-made from yantok and embelished with white pearls and gemstones. These represent the treasures of the sea.

Samatha’s bodysuit were covered by fabric foam, stones and pearls to symbolize the purity, generosity, and loyalty of its wearer. They are believed to attract wealth and luck as well as offer protection.

  1. Naalala ko si Elizabeth Ramsey (RIP) in her role sa Dyesebel ni Marian Rivera over a decade ago

  3. Daming pakawala ng #AhasAndKweens and #EvilMUPOrg dito. Mga asal baboy. Daming hada pag BBP, pero silent kahit kadiri na acts ng evil gang. Hahahaha.

  6. YUCK. 😦

    (Last year’s “Tandikan Princess” is her best BBP NatCos. This is the worst.)

    (It may mislead to say they “produced” that record-breaking pearl. They are divers, not (pearl) farmers. Besides, I doubt one that size would be saleable/fast-moving… Imagine the necklace, lol.)

    Sam B.’s virtues, as per the Brief, are purity, generosity, & loyalty. I will agree. 🙂

  7. I believe Taklobo refers to the Giant Clam not the giant pearl although the species did produce the biggest pearls on record.

    I’m just not wowed by this costume maybe because I have seen it before.. 7 stars.

    • Yes, underwhelmed aq. Or maybe because I was expecting a lot more since it’s Samantha.

  9. Para sa akin lang ha,pero itong effects na usok kyeme at lighting don’t do well po sa Natcos ng mga Binibini. Minsan nag iba ang orig color dahil sa lighting tapos yung details ng Natcos di masyado na highlight…
