After the reveal of the Top 50 Official Delegates for Miss Universe Philippines 2022, the excitement has started to build up even more. There will always be favorites as early as now. So let me share mine. The actual pre-pageant challenges have not started yet. So this list of twenty (20) can easily change after each hurdle. But for now, I will keep an eye on:
Celeste Cortesi of Pasay
Michelle Dee of Makati City
Pauline Amelinckx of Bohol
Katrina Llegado of Taguig City
Lou Dominique Piczon of Cebu Province
Vanessa Caro of Iloilo Province
Chantal Elise Schmidt of Cebu City
Annabelle Mae McDonnell of Misamis Oriental
Julia Saubier of Albay
Francheska Alexine Dadivas of Roxas City
Angelica Lopez of Palawan
Dorothy Gemillan of Iloilo City
Nyca Bernardo of Bulacan Province
Lyza Katrina Samalio of Ilocos Norte
Jona Sweett of Aklan
Sashi Chiesa of Lapu-Lapu City
Jedidah Korinihona of Davao del Sur
Zeneth Joy Bueno Kahn of Isabela
Mary Dawn Molina Abiera of Sultan Kudarat
Ghenesis Latugat of Baguio City
#MissUniversePhilippines2022
Review of Norman’s 1st Pick
Celeste Cortesi of Pasay – Facially stunning but can she handle the Q&A with ease and confidence?
Michelle Dee of Makati City – Not so pretty and lacks the kind of personality needs/suited for MU
Pauline Amelinckx of Bohol – Beautiful but not competitive in terms of height and figure
Katrina Llegado of Taguig City – She needs to improve her communication skills and knowledge bank
Lou Dominique Piczon of Cebu Province – One of the ugliest contenders in this batch
Vanessa Caro of Iloilo Province -The MOST promising and my current FAVORITE
Chantal Elise Schmidt of Cebu City – Also very promising but needs more experiences and training
Annabelle Mae McDonnell of Misamis Oriental – I think she will do well in other national pageants
Julia Saubier of Albay – This girls needs the right styling and packaging to be in the Top 3
Francheska Alexine Dadivas of Roxas City – Another very promising girl and try other nat’l. pageants
Angelica Lopez of Palawan – Not yet familiar, sorry
Dorothy Gemillan of Iloilo City – At most Top 10/12, try other pageants
Nyca Bernardo of Bulacan Province – Not yet familiar, sorry
Lyza Katrina Samalio of Ilocos Norte – Not yet familiar, sorry
Jona Sweett of Aklan – promising but should try other national pageants
Sashi Chiesa of Lapu-Lapu City – needs repackaging/rebranding
Jedidah Korinihona of Davao del Sur – Better for MPE, should lose weight
Zeneth Joy Bueno Kahn of Isabela – Not yet familiar, sorry
Mary Dawn Molina Abiera of Sultan Kudarat – Not yet familiar, sorry
Ghenesis Latugat of Baguio City – Try other national pageants
Chantal and Sashi looks promising but they need to soften their looks, sometimes they look TRANS in their photos, Aces and Queens should work hard to make them more feminine looking
A lot of beautiful girls with great comm skills but Chantal sets pulses racing. Plus highly eloquent to boot.
It’s Dee vs Amelincx MUP or ist runner up. Cortesi or Llegado second or third runner up
Dee and Cortesi for now.
Her body proportion is wanting, davao sur should work hard to look lean to belong , just my constructive observation..
My early picks are: Amelinckx, Dee, Saubier, Cortesi, Caro, Llegado, Chiesa, and Schmidt
Hindi mo na nakalimutan si Caro Serge. Salamat. He, he, he…
Cortesi or Dee. Any of the two will continue the streak
I hope they only have 20 or 25 delegates for the actual telecast … make the show short and sweet
I hope MUPH announces early on its final selection criteria so that each candidate can formulate her game plan through all pre-pageant challenges ahead of the final judging. The selection criteria break down into components what it takes to be a phenomenal woman, or a confidently beautiful person. I believe that a key success factor in any beaucon is the ability to build a doable road map towards the crown through the various pre-pageant activities.
Sir Norman, would you have information as to the criteria for final judging (with corresponding weights per category)? Also, the different pre-pageant challenges with their respective objectives? In the interest of transparency, I hope these are not MUPH classified infos.
The pictures are quite distorted.
Nevertheless, I like Cortesi, Dee and Llegado at least for now.
I’m sure there will be one from the lesser known contestants who will surprise us all leading to the finals.
Vanessa Caro looks like she’s going for the kill!
She’s another girl I’m really excited about!
