Without spoiling the Bench/ Body swimwears that the Miss World Philippines 2021 Candidates will wear on Press Presentation and the Beach Beauty Challenge, here is an exclusive* video of the 45 ladies during the closed-door swimsuit preview held at the Bench Tower in BGC yesterday.
National Director Arnold Vegafria (standing, left photo) poses with the ladies at the holding area after the closed door event.
Each candidate was gifted with a box of Bench/ lifestyle “Queenssentials” products which they will promote as part of the Multimedia Challenge of the competition.
The screening panel during the activity was made up of Ben Chan, Miguel Pastor and Bryan Lim of Bench, Ara Arida and Designer Rhett Eala.

#NextAttractions on #PageantryNormsSeason2:
It’s no secret by now that Miss Universe 2012 1st Runner-Up Janine Tugonon will be coming home to the Philippines. The last time she visited was back in 2018. And according to the IG account of Aces & Queens, she will be watching the finals of the national pageant in person. Well, it doesn’t take a genius to conclude that she will possibly be one of the judges because there are no spectators allowed in the event except for the candidates, the organization, the production team, the judges and perhaps, a small representation from the host city. So where does she classify among those groups?

Miss Universe Philippines 2019 Gazini Christiana Jordi Ganados poses with one of the unsung heroes in her life’s journey both as a person and as a Beauty Queen – her beloved mother Carmencita Ganados.
Eight of the Philippines’ finest in Miss Universe during last night’s Tribute Concert. No wonder the country is the envy of every pageant-loving country in the Universe:
Here are photos of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach and boyfriend Marlon Stockinger during the ABS-CBN Ball 2018 tonight at Makati Shangri-La, Manila. What can you say about her look and styling in that Martin Bautista gown?
Their reigns are not yet finished, but Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters and Bb. Pilipinas International 2017 Mariel de Leon are definitely showbiz-bound. In fact, the latter’s first leading lady project will already come out on Christmas Day with the modern Female of “Ang Panday” starring Coco Martin.
Speaking of movies, Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa will also appear – in her first high-profile project – as a fairy of sorts, also in “Ang Panday”, just as Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach will be in “The Revenger Squad” as a superheroine, with Ara Arida and Bianca Guidotti playing villainess cameos.
Six of the Miss Universe Philippines titleholders were gathered together during the Charity Fashion Gala at the Grand Ballroom of Solaire Resort and Casino last Thursday night. From the photo above, they are (left to right): MJ Lastimosa (2014), Maxine Medina (2016), Ara Arida (2013), Bianca Manalo (2009), Shamcey Supsup (2011) and Venus Raj (2010). If only Janine Tugonon (2012) was here in Manila, the ensemble would have been complete.
