Binibini 35 and her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume

Posted by Norman on January 18, 2021
Posted in: 1 Pageant Pages, 2 Shout-out-Looks. Tagged: Bb. Pilipinas 2020, Chico Estiva, Micca Rosal, Raymond Saldaña. 11 Comments

Behold your #Binibini35 Micca Rosal of Agoncillo, Batangas in her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume created by Chico Estiva:

MARY LOVE

My national costume is called MARY LOVE. This was made to pay tribute to our Mother Mary who has been our rock amidst the recent taal volcano eruption. We chose to wear something that will signify the strength and hope of all Batanguenos especially people of Agoncillo who was greatly affected by the recent calamity.

I carry with me the Holy Rosary same with what most of the families have carried during the afternoon of January 12. It was our weapon, our shield and our rock.

The trailing cape with thousands of swarovski crystals represent thousands of Batanguenos who is with me as I walk with this dress. Each step I take, is a step closer in resurrecting our faith that one day soon, we will be triumphant once more.

We also chose the color red as a manifestation of the burning desire of all Batanguenos to rise from the ashes.

A #Grand Wish

With Miss Grand International now confirmed to happen in Phuket, Thailand on March 27, 2021, will a Philippine representative be announced by Bb. Pilipinas soon?

I certainly hope it will be Aya Abesamis. Fingers tightly crossed for that! 🤞

No other potential bet comes close to her readiness in taking on the job.

Posted in: 1 Pageant Pages, 2 Shout-out-Looks. Tagged: John dela Vega. 18 Comments

“Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.”

The pageant industry is deeply saddened by the recent demise of John De La Vega.

His passing will be felt by many people.

May his heart and soul find peace and comfort. 🙏🏼

PS. John’s final days were ladened with abdominal pain and fever – Cholecystolithiases (inflammation of the Gallbladder wall) and Cholecystitis (Gallstones).

Binibini 31 and her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume

Posted by Norman on January 15, 2021
Posted in: 1 Pageant Pages, 2 Shout-out-Looks. Tagged: Bb. Pilipinas 2020, Centurion, Graciella Lehmann, Joemel Calma, Raymond Saldaña. 7 Comments

Behold your #Binibini31 Graciella Lehmann of Oriental Mindoro in her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume created by Joemel Calma:

“Centurion”
(Notes from the designer)

The creation’s inspiration stems from the vision of a female centurion or warrior demonstrating exemplary and heroic qualities of a Filipina bravely leading the century.

Characterized by Roman costumes, tunics, and vivid metallic embellishments that have been crafted by local artisans and woodcarvers of Paete, Laguna, this reclaimed and recycled warrior ensemble symbolizes women’s ability to exhibit their courage and stand up for their rights and core feminine values.

It is a colorful festival celebrated on the island of Oriental Mindoro in the Philippines. The centurion masks depict the story of the Passion of the Christ.

Possessing as much strength, determination and fortitude as any man, they are willing to take up arms and fight for a cause with relentless perseverance.
