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?
