Interestingly enough, seven of the ten ladies who became Official Finalists for Century Tuna Superbods Ageless 2018 are familiar names and faces in pageantry like Miss World Philippines 2012 Queenie Rehman, the beautiful Kim Ross delos Santos, the very sporty Alexandra Faith Garcia, former Mutya and Miss World America runner-up Maureen Montagne, former Miss Philippines Earth runner-up Joanna Tolledo, the inspiring Christine Balaguer and former Miss Bikini Philippines participant Mariah Nilo.

Who do you think will do well in the fitness-driven competition among them?

Last night, I was the only member of the recognizable pageant media ​​who attended the surprise 50th Birthday Bash of Rodgil Flores – the well-loved man behind Kagandahang Flores – which was held at Club One 690 in Quezon City. There was a visible outpouring of love from everyone who became part of his life as a beauty queen-maker, friend and loved one. The core team behind the event – led by Georgette Garrido, Kristine Caballero-Aplal, Gelbert Aplal and David Isaac Buenaventura – made sure that everything was kept in utmost secrecy up until the final reveal when the celebrant showed up at the venue unaware of what he will witness upon arrival (he was made to know that it was an important client meeting instead). He could not hold back the tears especially when an emotionally-made three-part video (which included Janicel Lubina who is currently in Brisbane for a project and Karen Agustin-Ostrea who is tied up with commitments as well) was shown detailing some of the individuals who have benefitted from his love, generosity and unconditional care.

Beauty queens spotted last night included Bea Rose Santiago, Angelia Ong, MJ Lastimosa, Parul Shah, Maggie Wilson-Consunji, Angelee Delos Reyes, Patricia Fernandez, Precious Lara Quigaman, Karla Henry, Kris Tiffany Janson, Athena Imperial, Camille Hirro, Janela Joy Cuaton, Ganiel Krishnan, Jaya San Jose, Mia Howell, Rachel Peters, Julian Flores, Abigail Cruz, Alexandra Faith Garcia, Gail Ventic, Kristine Estoque, Karen Ibasco, Brenna Gamboa and more. Mr. Gay World Philippines Organization Head Wilbert Tolentino (who was there with John Raspado and Bench Ortiz) was his usually generous self as he added a big amount to the already raised funds (whole-heartedly contributed upon by all previous titleholders and sponsors) for the future training of all KF beauty queen-aspirants. I won’t mention the exact amounts anymore but it’s definitely worth a lot.

Here are more photos from the event.

From all of us here at normannorman.com, may you have more fruitful and love-filled years to come, Rodgil Flores!

Keep on helping and training and loving our beautiful Filipinas! You are really well-loved by everyone.

Cheers! 😀

Your first five Binibinis for PLDT Home

  
Over the weekend, the first ten (10) Binibinis of Bb. Pilipinas 2016 had their first official sponsor tour with an appearance for PLDT Home booth in both SM Mall of Asia and Megamall. Let’s take a look at five of them, starting with:
Binibini 1 Janelle Olafson who is one of the remaining independents in the competition, and a very expressive young lass who can steal your hearts with the way she presents herself in both YouTube videos and in public.

Binibini 2 Alexandra Faith Garcia from Olongapo City – the former Mutya ng Pilipinas 2014 Top 10 placer and triathlete who is now speeding up in the race to become one of the more popular ladies in the pre-pageant spins.

Binibini 3 Angela Lauren Fernando or make that Dr. Angela Fernando, the unofficial health guardian of the ladies given her medical background and all-around caring nature.

Binibini 4 Kimberle Mae Penchon of La Union who left some unfinished business during last year’s edition and is bent on making up for lost time by proving that she deserves to be called more than one of the 40.

and Binibini 5 Riana Pangindian who is a true-blue Thomasian with the extra flair for fashion shots and a still-untapped singing talent, I was told.

Who catches your fancy in this group, dear readers? 😉

Alexandra Faith Garcia: The Triathlete-turned-Binibini

Alexandra Faith Garcia is an accomplished triathlete who is now preparing for her biggest challenge in pageantry

 
Unknown to most relatively uninitiated pageant followers, Alexandra Faith Garcia of Olongapo is a full-pledged triathlete who finished the tough and highly-demanding Tri-United that filled the stretch from Subic Bay to Porac, Pampanga last October 25, 2015. She trained hard for that physical challenge and was successful in completing the task with a finisher’s medal as proof. That mission also kept her away from platform heels, two-piece swimsuits and evening gowns for more than a year after a Top 10 finish during Mutya ng Pilipinas 2014.

This year, Faith has returned to the pageant scene and how. She has successfully passed the screenings and is now a certified Binibini for Bb. Pilipinas 2016. A product of Kagandahang Flores, she now sports a leaner and more shapely figure with toned muscles and a more highly-charged resistance to the boiling pressure of the nationals. And I bet she will give the other contenders a good fight should BPCI start a sporting side event for the pre-pageant activities.

But more than that, what is your take on Faith? I see her as good competitor who can step up her bid for a crown just as much as the next well-prepared challenger. She has the charm and poise to go head-to-head with anyone in that department. And if our focus is transfixed on the early favorites, she just might take the opportunity to zoom on her own merits when everyone’s not looking. After all, patience and discipline could be her best suits. And she can use this to maximize her game plan for Bb. Pilipinas. 😉

Do you faith in Faith for Bb.Pilipinas 2016?

Our 40 brand-new Binibinis: Will they remain intact till the end?

Remember the 40 names and faces of our Official Candidates for Bb. Pilipinas 2016 now because you can never tell if each one of them will stay in the game till the day of the Finals come April 17. You see, previous editions have seen one, two or three (hopefully not more) backing out or getting disqualified and replaced posthaste. The reasons vary – from conflicts with endorsement contracts to prior commitments that could no longer be avoided to questions about submitted documents to citizenship issues or, quite simply, not being able to take in all the demands and pressures that come with being a Binibini.

Daily behavior – and that includes lack of punctuality, frequent absences, innate laziness, irritating tantrums and stubbornness habitual in nature – are given premium demerits by the people in charge of supervising their pageant-related affairs.

True. It ain’t easy getting in. And even more true. It ain’t easy keeping up with the pre-pageant stress. So by the time the new winners get to be crowned, the deserving ladies take their spots because they have earned their stripes the hard way.

Consider Bb. Pilipinas a boot camp stricter than the pageant trainers prior to joining. It will strive to weed out the undesirables and zero in on the most deserving to represent the Philippines internationally.

After all, other countries are not looking up to us for nothing. We know how to play the game well. And the organizers are fiercely equipped with the right kind of whips to shape up a Binibini into a full-pledged Binibining Pilipinas. 🙂

Look at them now.

Sunday Specials: 10 for Kagandahang Flores in Bb. Pilipinas 2016

kf21 Unless one of the five (5) independents* who got in will be “adopted” by Kagandahang Flores (KF), the beauty camp has a solid group of ten (10) successful entries among the Official Candidates of Bb. Pilipinas 2016. Let’s not start throwing statements starting up some wild discussions about their number being smaller than before. The more significant thing is that these ten ladies represent a striking combination of experience and relative newness in the nationals. The ten qualifiers are:

Mariella Castillo, Jessica Gonzales, Maria Gigante, Paula Rich Bartolome, Joanna Louise Eden, Alexandra Faith Garcia, Kristin Angeli Estoque, Maria Lina Neri Prongoso, Anjellica Lopez and Nichole Manalo

In this batch, Nichole Manalo appears to be taking the lead. The younger sister of Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2009 Bianca Manalo is definitely looking different this time around. The facial features are fiercer and the stance more confident. There is also the transferee from Aces & Queens – Paula Rich Bartolome – who is a lot thinner and more gorgeous in person. How about the promising Jessica Gonzales who appears to be the tallest Official Candidate? This winsome lass could pass off as a six-footer, but always states her height as 5’11”. Let’s not forget Maria Gigante, the Cebuana who could be one of the top spoilers this year, aside from Maria Lina Neri Prongoso from the Bicol region.

Give all the KF ladies leeway to show their strengths. I’m pretty sure they will surprise you in the coming weeks ahead! 😉

* – the five (5) independents on my record are Angela Ritter Valdez, Janel Olafson, Crescent Samaco, Aniger Wiji Cruz and Roshiela Tobias.
