Binibini 20 Lovely Mercado of Roxas, Isabela

Binibini 27 Graciella Lehmann of Oriental Mindoro and
Binibini 34 Honey Be Parreñas of Sultan Kudarat

Behold your #Binibini24 Carina G. Cariño of La Union in her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume created by Don Cristobal.
La Union is a coastal province known for being the Surfing Capital of the North. This costume represents the effervescent, fluid waves of its shores and the abundance of the sea that provides and sustains its people.
Home to three Marian shrines and a Taoist temple of a sea goddess, the province is portrayed in this national costume as a water deity emerging from the sea. The material of the silver terno replicates the nets that aid fishermen and the shell casts an illusion of moving waves, imitating the rhythmic waters people long to see when going to Elyu.

Below are the #IAMBINIBINI introduction videos of the second half of the Bb. Pilipinas 2020 candidates. You will notice that there is still one missing (or skipped) Binibini. I am simply relying on what the organizers are uploading in their YouTube channel. Hence, the efforts of 39 Bellatrix Tan is still not here.

For this batch, I would give a three-way tie for first place to #Binibini21 Hannah Arnold, #Binibini23 Gabrielle Basiano and #Binibini29 Honey Cartasano. I can see anyone among them getting a crown, if not all three of them. While this pictorial may not be the most agreeable for many of Hannah Arnold’s critics, she still delivers the goods and is on her way to a top placement in the competition. Gabrielle Basiano, on the other hand, is showing us why she just might become the first-ever big winner of RL’s Angels after many years of fielding candidates. She has practically all the fine elements in her favor – an angelic face and excellent height. She just needs to make her Q&A skills more solid.
As for Honey Cartasano, the physical changes make her a more arresting presence this time around. Her styling has almost always been spot on. Just like Gabrielle, she just needs to put a more confident spin in her communication skills.
My 4th and 5th placers are twin spoilers just waiting in the wings. But between the two, the sweet beauty of Francesca Taruc definitely has the edge over Carina Cariño.
How about you, dear readers?
Cherry blossoms in June!
Here are Binibinis 21-30 in their official swimwear photos for Bb. Pilipinas 2020.

After the release of the new sets of official photos and yesterday’s Ever Bilena Beauty Tour by the Bb. Pilipinas 2020 candidates, normannorman.com is sharing with you his 2nd Round Picks that should set up things nicely for the Press Presentation that will happen on March 17. Take note that I arranged the #Binibinis according to the order of my preference and not by numbers anymore:
Samantha Bernardo of Palawan
Karen Laurrie Mendoza of Iloilo
Gabrielle Basiano of Borongan, Eastern Samar
Hannah Arnold of Masbate
Patrizia Garcia of Manila
Honey Cartasano of Rizal
Alexandra Mae Rosales of Laguna
Cindy Obeñita of CDO, Misamis Oriental
Vickie Marie Rushton of Negros Occidental
Carina G. Cariño of La Union
Hazel Ortiz of Pasig
Pat Babista of Quezon Province
Francesca Taruc of Angeles City, Pampanga
Danica Joy Acuña of Romblon
Maureen Montagne of Batangas
Alexandra Faith Garcia of Olongapo
Jash Dimaculangan of Camarines Sur
Samantha Alexandra Panlilio of Cavite
Shanon Tampon of Caloocan
Kimberly Anne Tiquestiques of Balagtas, Bulacan
As of today, the competition is still wide open for all the ladies. The leaderboard, though, is starting to take shape more clearly, such that if the Grand Coronation Night will happen later, the potential titleholders are Samantha Bernardo, Karen Laurrie Mendoza, Gabrielle Basiano, Hannah Arnold and Patrizia Garcia, with Honey Cartasano and Alexandra Mae Rosales as runners-up.
But with the remaining pre-pageant counting more than a month and a half to go, anything can still happen. Samantha Bernardo is looking like my only surefire winner at this point.

After yesterday’s release of the Raymond Saldaña Official Photos for Bb. Pilipinas 2020, normannorman.com is posting its 1st Round of 20 Picks for the competition. In the order by which they are numbered now:
#Binibini1 Samantha Alexandra Panlilio
#Binibini4 Patrizia Garcia
#Binibini7 Shanon Tampon
#Binibini9 Patricia Denise Babista
#Binibini10 Shaira Rona
#Binibini11 Maureen Montagne
#Binibini13 Samantha Bernardo
#Binibini14 Hazel Ortiz
#Binibini15 Cindy Obeñita
#Binibini16 Alexandra Mae Rosales
#Binibini17 Justine Felizarta
#Binibini18 Karen Laurrie Mendoza
#Binibini21 Hannah Arnold
#Binibini23 Gabrielle Basiano
#Binibini25 Carina Cariño
#Binibini27 Jashmin Dimaculangan
#Binibini28 Francesca Taruc
#Binibini29 Honey Cartasano
#Binibini32 Danica Acuña
#Binibini36 Vickie Marie Rushton
Coming up with this list of 20 is already tough as it is. I had to sacrifice a few of the Binibinis because I initially had 23 (with the inclusion of Vianca Marcelo, Kimberly Anne Tiquestiques and Lesley Anne Ticaro). With 40 contenders, cutting them in half at this point is more ideal. I am confident, though, that the five (5) new titleholders will be among the ladies named above.
