Last year, the titleholders carried numbers 10 (Venus Raj), 21 (Czarina Gatbonton) and 11 (Krista Kleiner). Will this be duplicated with Hazelyn Santos, Paula Figueras and Diana Arevalo getting crowned? I doubt it. Except for Diana, the other two are not very likely to figure out in the Top 3, let alone the Top 5.
In 2009, 15 (Bianca Manalo), 17 (Marie-Ann Umali) and 20 (Melody Gersbach) came out on top. Could these numbers bless Arabella Hanesh, Teresa Ludovice and Kenneth Dimaapi for 2011? Once more, the three ladies are not considered hot picks for the crowns.
Let’s try another year – 2008 – where 7 (Jennifer Barrientos), 15 (Janina San Miguel) and 2 (Patricia Fernandez) won. Correspondingly, Roxanne Cabanero, Arabella Hanesh and Elizabeth Clensi match these numbers. Not a satisfactory set of winners for me.
Boo with lucky numbers then! If I had my way, my tentative shortlist would include 25, 32, 24, 13 and 11. What are yours? 😉
