One more interesting part of the Bb. Pilipinas every year is the assigning of numbers to the Official Candidates. Some people say that there is significance behind the particular digit/s that a contender receives, such as #1 is vital because she will lead the rest in most appearances or the last digits represent someone who is just as important as #1 because she tail-ends the batch and should encourage a resounding applause after she presents herself. Personally, I always follow the practice that the middle numbers are the tallest, with the first and last as the shortest. Whatever. Watch the vid below and see their individual pins. 😉
