You might easily remember Nelda Ibe as the Miss World Philippines 2nd Princess during the reign of Valerie Weigmann last 2014. A few will also recall her being part of Mutya ng Pilipinas 2013 where she represented Tarlac. So when she kept a low profile after serving her term for MWP and did not resurface in another pageant from 2015-2016, her supporters thought that she has decided to focus more on plans of becoming a pilot instead. And this she did at the Clark Aviation School in Pampanga.

But much to the pleasant surprise of her camp – KF Tarlac – she made the decision to join Bb. Pilipinas 2017 after recently finishing her Solo Fly as Captain Cadet student. And so, we will definitely see this 23 year-old 5’10” stunner joining the other KF registrants later this month at the BPCI Office to formally sign up.

I really like Nelda. Outside the gowns and platform heels, she is relaxed, laid-back and very beautifully sensible. But once she gets made up and all, she transforms into a potential beauty queen just waiting in the wings (no pun intended) for her chance to shine at her brightest.

Watch out for Nelda Ibe in Bb. Pilipinas 2017!
