Meet the Press with Binibini8 Nicole Budol

Late yesterday afternoon, a Meet-the-Press event was organized for Binibini8 Herlene Nicole Budol of Angono, Rizal at the Corte Ibiza in Quezon City. She was very happy with the turnout of guests from different mainstream and social media pages that she was in her right elements up until family members started giving their messages of encouragement when she broke into tears. For those who do not know yet, her beloved Nanay Bireng (grandmother) passed away recently. It would have made everything complete, as she said in the video below.


Nicole was just too happy that her “fairy godmothers” – Wilbert Tolentino, Gio Flores and Rodgil Flores – were all present to give their all-out support to this lady who is targeting the Binibining Pilipinas Grand International crown if at all possible. Aside from the thrill she associates with Miss Grand International, she wants to get first dibs at becoming the very first Filipina winner of the said international beauty pageant.

At the moment, she is looking forward to the Press Presentation where she can formally show all and sundry the results of her training and transformation. How is she looking at Tuesday’s big event of Binibining Pilipinas 2022?


If there is one thing I truly appreciate about Nicole, it is her utmost sincerity. As they say in the vernacular, “walang kaplastikan” at all. She doesn’t mince with words, even if everyone can see and hear the intermittent refinements in the choice of words and statements. She wants fans and supporters to trust her enough in this endeavor and requests that – instead of being belittled – people take her efforts seriously.

Personally, I will no longer fall off my swivel chair if she wins a crown or grabs a runner-up placement at least. After seeing and talking to her person, Nicole has the determination to succeed. She learns fast and it will only take a short matter of time before everyone else at BPCI starts to appreciate her real worth as a potential beauty queen. She may not fit the template we all have for one. But hey, this is the new normal. Anything can happen.

  2. Well… 1st of all a beauty queen’s prime requirement is the ability to inspire.. She definitely nailed that part… Even if you are the prettiest girl in the whole pageant.. If you can’t inspire people then your beauty is useless… Nicole is very inspiring.. her life story.. her journey… She is the most popular girl in this batch.. Only problem is that she lacks class… but I don’t think being classy is required at her target pageant assignment… Her problem is that would Binibining Pilipinas allow a crude girl who acts cringey at times to win and change the standards that took half a century to build… And if ever she does win, she will be attending events and be interviewed on a regular basis.. would BBP be willing to take that risk? I suggest that she needs to clean up her act.. nail that final Q&A and at least portray that classy girl for at least within that contract as a winner.

    PS.. Pag aralan ang pag highlight ng boobs… or kung pwede wag na ihighlight… nagmumukhang mga cancer lumps pag dinodrawingan pa… ang panget tingnan.🙄

  3. In the history of Bb Pilipinas, I have not seen a candidate like Nicole Budol. She is a breath of fresh air. Her authenticity makes her stand out from the rest of the candidates. I do not mind if she takes the Bb Pil-Grand Int’l crown because it fits her. She only has to make good in Q and A, otherwise, this would lessen her chances of winning

  4. Binibining Pilipinas is not a joke. But i would say yung make up skills nya mas maganda pa sa pinadala sa Supra .

  5. I think she is a fit for MGI coz they’re looking for someone who can put up with the org’s antics. Now, if she can tone down her over the top movements, then she just might win over the Madame and her ilk knowing how conservative they are.

  6. The transformation is remarkable. The right make-up, proper training, and years of hosting did her good.

    She got the unique beauty of her grandma who passed away indeed, and a loving, supportive mother.

    Good luck, IC Mendoza! Char!

    World Peace.
