Tonight is the culmination of a long journey that started in early 2020 when the pandemic hasn’t blown out of global proportions.
Tonight is when the lives of four Binibinis will change before the clock strikes midnight.
Tonight is Binibining Pilipinas 2021!
Catch the Grand Coronation Night on A2Z Channel 11 at 9:30pm.
Rehearsal photos in this entry were taken by Bruce Casanova.
#BinibiningPilipinas2021
Bakit po tumitili si DARREN ESPANTO???
Missing the graceful hosting skills of Charlene Muhlach-Gonzalez. 👑💐🙋🏼🕊 She made the pageant experience a seamless one.- hardly any cringeworthy moment.. Very professional. Very Binibini 💐
Justine Felizarta should finds ways to be able to go home to Canada (ASAP) and find ways how to join the Canadian National Pageants for Miss Universe, Miss Globe, Miss Supranational, Miss Earth, Miss International, etc.
Winner! Tito Norman on BBP 2021 chat room
Hanah Arnold is standout! Ang ganda talaga nýa. Isang malaking pagkakamali kapag hindi ibinigay sa kanya ang International.
Ang cute ni Cat in announcing Venezuelaaaaaa! Hahahaa! Sosyal naman ni Meiji Cruz, galing pala sýa sa lugar ng mga glamazona. Love you, Cat. Kahit lumapad ka ng konti, ang ganda mo pa rin. You remind us of Miss Venezuela Universe 2002 Cynthia Lander in your hairdo. Ganda. Ano pala ang lipstick brand na ginamit mo? Ang galing mo ding mag-host. Buhay na buhay. Naiirita ako kay NIcole, sobrang modulated ang voice.
That’s all.
Ever Bilena daw po.
Hannah Arnold will conquer the Globe po.❤
Venezuela pasok sa BBP2021. Kasali pa kaya sila sa MU 2021? 🤣🤣🤣
Beb, heto naman, palagpasin mo na. Haha
Eh yung Menji Cruz? Venezuela na Menji pa.
Haha…hayaan mo na beb. ❤
Karen Laurrie Mendoza, Philippines, Doumo Arigatou Gozaimasu!!! ❤❤❤
And the most random award goes to ….
Manila Bulletin Reader’s Choice Award. LOL. Wala pa akong naalala na nanalo na may award na to. Mukhang iba ang taste ng readers nila. Ganern? Kakaloka.
madam, dati pa pong may ganyan. ❤
Si Nicole cordoves nga yata nanalo rin dyan e
OK na ang special award. Pero sana wala ng actual giving of sash and flower. Naging crowded sa stage which is a red tag for IATF.
Yung totoo! Saang majongan galing si Catriona?
😅😱🙃😵 😜🤣 hope her wardrobe improves throughout the night 🙋🏼
I think the long gown competition will be the game-changer here (unlike noong meron pang MissU sa BbP na swimsuit ang determinant). I don’t see a video with all of them in long gown so I cannot make an accurate prediction. But so far, here is my prefinal pick:
International: Karen or Hannah
Grand: Meiji
Intercon: Hannah or Karen
Globe: Maureen
Other Crown/First Runner-Up: Gabby
Alternates: Justine, Honey
I will post my picks after the long gown competition later.
One example of a contestant who shined in long gown is Jennifer Hammond (BBP 2016). She is not in anyone’s Top6 list pero she really shined during the competition and went to win BBP Intercon during that year. I just cannot take my eyes away from her.
Same picks: Karen, Meiji, Hannah, Maureen, Gabby
UPDATE 4:
TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT.
I have summarized our predictions for the highest crown which is Ms. International.

Let us make this prediction game more interesting by penalizing the Losing Teams:
Option 1: The losing teams will post their face pic on July 12 on the comment section of this blog, and everyone is free to bash and give negative comments (including pageant contestants. Lol)
Option 2: The losing team members will NOT post any negative comment or bash the eventual MI winner until the actual Ms. International pageant in Japan.
Option 3: The losing team members will contact privately any one winning team member and send grab food delivery to his/her/it house worth P500.
Option 4: Toxic members (ehem Paul ehem) will leave this blog permanently. Lol.
The winning team members will also get to ask the blogger / Norman any question about him (wholesome or sleazy) in a post to be created by Norman within the month of July.
World Peace.
Super active ngayon mga galamay ni Galema. Mamatay sila sa inggit. Mga PG! Hahahahaha

@ Aling Vicky …Will be included in the Tribute. Along with Thea Cenarosa, Gila Salvador, and Hazel Ortiz. 🙂
call me old fashioned and stuck in a time warp, but I believe one of BbP’s magic is its “old” theme song.. as the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, why fix it… the BbP gods have decided to change the song to keep up with the times.?? oh well… 🙄😕
👑💐👑💐👑🕊
https://normannorman.com/2020/03/19/bb-pilipinas-the-evolution-of-a-theme-song/
I agree! ❤
💐👑💐👑💐🕊 Norman wrote a piece on this classic & unequalled Nonong Pedero song.
https://normannorman.com/2020/03/19/bb-pilipinas-the-evolution-of-a-theme-song/
@ Jmgonzalesme and @ Abcde… The BbP Queens who have represented us in pageants abroad have always been the “perfect symbol of a people rich in heritage and love…” yes, maganda rin siguro yung bago, but somehow, the “magic” is gone..
Same. Maganda yung new song, pero iba yung effect ng old song. Very nostalgic.
Sorry to mention this but the theme song clashed tonally with the Nonong Pedero original. And that “birit” ending … let’s just say it was a foreboding 😵😶🙃😱😅
To the Binibinis of 2021, you don’t owe your magic and intelligence to Mr Abunda. You have your best mentors at hand: your past queens, your fellow contestants, your trainers & handlers, your family, your personal drive to win and achieve something in life. Don’t listen to some charlatan who just read some Maya Angelou books and imagine he’s some kind of Oprah or guru. He won’t make you win. You will make yourselves win. A woman is responsible for her fate. Trust your intelligence. A Binibini is a self made woman. 👑💐🏆

I appreciate you notice my vote for Basiano po
Option 5: The winning team members will get to ask one question to the blogger in the comment section for everyone to read, and Norman is compelled to answer the questions honestly, Lol.
Hannah for MI for me too
Thomas ,
Getting the BP International crown does not mean anything to me .
The winner of this game will have to be decided by the fate of our rep at MI .
If she wins or does well (meaning at least she wins a RU position ) at MI, the group that voted for her.. wins
If she claps , the group that voted for the other girl wins.
Fabian Dahling,
Let us not complicate and over analyze this game made for fun. =)
But nevertheless, patulan natin ang logic mo: You are saying, the eventual winning team of this silly little game will be declared ONCE the Ms. International pageant in Japan is held. (Ex. If Maureen wins in BB Pilipinas MI but LOSES eventually in Japan, then “Team Hannah” wins.)
I hope anyone reading this can clearly see how FLAWED the logic is Fabian Dahling.
You are assuming that “had we sent the other girl (in this example, Hannah), she will be a SURE winner in Japan. Which is a flawed logic. You are ASSUMING my dear.
Do not ASSUME. It makes an ASS of U & ME. Lol.
World Peace.
Manigas ka Thomas! He, he, he…
Team Karen Laurie Mendoza for MI po ako! ❤
@ THOMAS Dude, huwag mo paaalisin si @ paul, kasi siya chronicler-archivist natin… Our very own ‘Tony Paat’ if you will… ‘To kasi’ng si Admin, ayaw buhayin ang nakaraan (My Blog Library). 🙂
@ Jonalyn Hernandez So, kung magkataon pala, solo mo kami’ng lahat. Hahhahahh… Btw, may very bright reddish star in the early morning sky the past few days. Planet? Which one?
Hahaha. Planet Mars po yan Miss Flor! ❤

The long journey of the candidates and the long wait of the pageant fans will be over tonight. I am so excited for this life-changing event. One thing is sure, I will be missing the iconic Bb Pilipinas theme song which will be replaced by a new one.
Correction: replaced with a new one
Addendum: on a positive note, I like the new theme song. It is modern, upbeat, relevant, and timely. Indeed, Bb Pilipinas is keeping up with the changing time.
Good Sun AM, Tito Norman.
Mag-reaction video po kayo. Ta’s, post niyo dito… Nood kayo ni Mother. 🙂
Tatlo’ng post na kaagad ‘yun – reaction to BBP 2021, PN’s S5E8, and MPE 2021 Beauty of Figure.
Catriona flew in from SG, right? Will Sireethorn Leearamwat grace the evening? How is Angkol?
