During yesterday’s Press Conference and Swimsuit Preliminaries of Binibining Pilipinas 2021, Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2019 Aya Abesamis wore the very same gown by Renee Magtibay Salud that her mom – Bb. Pilipinas Universe 1984 Desiree Verdadero Abesamis – wore during the Finals of Miss Universe 1984 en route to a 3rd Runner-Up placement.

Yesterday’s Swimsuit Preliminaries will be shown as part of the Finals on July 11. But tonight, the National Costume Competition will premiere on the pageant’s YouTube Channel at 7pm.

Love locked indeed for Aya Abesamis and John Spainhour courtesy of Rank Magazine.

And all we can do is drool and be happy for them. 😊 The two have been making beautiful music together for around 4 years now.

How true are the pageant rumors?

Posted by Norman on February 2, 2021

Recently, the pageant rumour mill started to go into (silent) overdrive with talks about the country’s representative to Miss Grand International 2021 heading to a different direction.

You see, most everyone is already expecting that Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2019 Aya Abesamis will carry the Philippine colors in Thailand next month. Preparations of her team have been steady despite of no confirmations being given, even as early as the time of The Miss Globe last November, 2020 when BPCI opted out of sending any of its titleholder.

This time, little birds are chirping that – because of age – Aya is no longer qualified to participate in Miss Grand International. She is 28 turning 29 this year. As a result, the talks are saying that Samantha Bernardo (who was Bb. Pilipinas 2019 runner-up) will be our representative instead.

If that is confirmed true anytime soon, then Samantha will need to resign as Binibini 13 of the current edition before she can officially become Miss Grand Philippines.

Let us see how these rumors will compare to any kind of announcements between this week and next.

All I can say is that Aya will be gutted – devastated even – with such developments if confirmed.

Bb. Pilipinas Finals on April 17, Miss Grand International on March 27

With the announcement of BPCI that Bb. Pilipinas will have its Grand Coronation Night on April 17, can we now see more than a glimmer of hope for Aya Abesamis to represent the country in Miss Grand International which will have its finals on March 27?

Fingers crossed! 🤞

A Grand Wish for Aya Abesamis

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.

Christmas is the best season to receive good news for the following year. Will our Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2019 Aya Abesamis get hers before the end of 2020? Or at the start of 2021?

Will the fulfilled wish be Grand enough?

Mark the date: November 12, 2020

The MISS GLOBE Beauty Pageant 2020 will have its World Final Show in Tirana, Albania 🇦🇱.

Now the big question is: who will represent the Philippines in the competition?

Will BPCI send Aya Abesamis or will the country skip participation this year?

Abangan!
