Bb. Pilipinas 2013: Is Ria Rabajante losing the momentum? Or still hanging on to it?

Ria Rabajante: flash-in-the-pan or still a top favorite?

Ria Rabajante came out with a big bang, stunned everyone and won many a hard-to-please pageant fans/critics with her sensually exotic beauty and svelte figure. She impressed even more during the announcement of Official Candidates when she came out as the only qualifier wearing a tasteful one-piece swimwear instead of the usual two-piece. She got pinned as #1, and was expected to lead in the 49 others in all their pre-pageant activities. And then, somewhere in the middle, there appears to be a softening of her initially bombastic registry. There were appearances where she blended in instead of standing out. The scene-stealing moments seem to have all but lingered. And the clamor, intense at the onset, gradually weakened.

But all is not lost, I reckon. During the Jag Jeans pictorial (see photo above left) plus the swimsuit portrait, Ria has shown an anticipated return to her ‘mystique’ and must have experienced a sudden epiphany of sorts. She may still be hanging on to the fringes of a winning plan. But the clutch remains tight. Can she hang on long enough to realize her objective in the competition? The die-hards are waiting. And I’m just here to chronicle her journey. Bring it on, girl! To the max, I must add. 😉

kf211 It just dawned on me that the camp of Kagandahang Flores accounts for more than a third of the 50 Bb. Pilipinas 2013 Official Candidates. From their originally-trained bets like Charmaine Elima, Hannah Ruth Sison, Bea Santiago and the like, the group has swelled to eighteen (18) after the ‘adoption’ of additional beauties like Aiyana Mickiewicz, Anna Carmina Antonio, Gabrielle Runnstrom, Paula Bernasor and Rhea Nakpil. If sheer quantity doesn’t net Rodgil Flores at least two spots in the Top 5 come April 14, then I don’t know what will. (Quality! Silly me!)

It’s really a pity that only three official crowns (with 1st Runner-Up being just a nominal placement for our Miss Supranational rep) are being dangled for the ladies to fight for. Be that as it may, which of the ladies above do you think will bring the camp honor next month? 😉

What are the chances of having girls with the same names in a group of fifty? Very high. But let’s skip long write-ups for now. I will let pictures speak in the meantime. Discussions and assessments will be reserved for another day. Enjoy them first! 😉

Your favorite glamazon and mine, Anna Buquid.

Let me name the girls in the photo collage first:
Top row: Angel May Villafuerte, Kate Enriquez and Mariel de Leon
Middle row: Hannah Ruth Sison, Bea Santiago, Parul Shah and Imee Schweighart
Bottom row: Lourenz Grace Remetillo, Carin Ramos, Ellore Punzalan and Faith Santos.

The floodgates for Filipina stunners are wide open!

But over and above the ladies mentioned, I am clearly more enthralled with Anna Buquid. Her height, her posture, her walk…oh-so-divine!

Need I say more? 😉
