Only one of them will take home the crown and become the city’s brand ambassadress for 2014.

Here is my photo rundown of twelve (12) short-listed ladies for the title. One of them could be the winner on Araw ng Maynila itself, the scheduled finals tonight at the PICC Plenary Hall.

My Top 5 for Miss Manila 2014

I would really love to see one of the former Binibinis win Miss Manila 2014. So I will go out on a limb for Julian Aurine Flores, Angelia Ong and Krischelle Halili to nail the honor. As spoilers, my hunch is that either Princess Abella or Justine Felizarta could also be possible victors. 😉
