BTS shots of the Bb. Pilipinas 2018 titleholders during their photoshoot with Raymond Saldaña earlier in the day. Watch out for the final images soon!

This batch produced a Miss Universe in Catriona Gray, a Miss Intercontinental in Karen Gallman, and a near-win as 1st Runner-Up in Miss International in Ahtisa Manalo. We can also add a Top 10 Miss Supranational finish for Jehza Huelar and a Top 15 placement in The Miss Globe for Michele Gumabao. It saddens me, though, that Eva Patalinjug was questionably snubbed in Miss Grand International.

At any rate, what an impressive score card for this group of titleholders!

Jas Baldoza

Familiar name, familiar face in the pageant scene by now. But did you know that this young lady is already a Creative Director who has conceptualized Farm-to-Fashion and did an in-depth study of the source of materials used in the fashion industry?

Jasmine is a Business Administration student who majors in Marketing and Advertising while actively partipating in a business membership organization for students to continue learning.

What could be next on the pipeline? A shot at taking part in the nationals and be called a #Binibini for the first time?

Why not?
