With fifty-four (54) Official Candidates to review for this Binibining Cebu Final Predictions, there are two options any pageant enthusiast would consider: one, go for the popular, familiar and most likely winners to make the effort less difficult; or two, take a risk on either the less hyped or running underdogs who could pull surprise wins tomorrow night at the Pacific Ballroom of Waterfront Hotel and Casino. I combined both and here now are the names of my Top 20:

Tracy Maureen Perez for Argao
Samantha Ashley Lo for Asturias
Apriel Smith for Badian
Maria Gigante for Bantayan
Charissa Claire Tabar for Barili
Moselblick Madera for Carmen
Khyra Quinn R. Adams for Cebu City North
Lyka Glice Galeos of Compostela
Karen Laurrie B. Mendoza for Cordova
Luzenne Sanchez Jones for Daanbantayan
Lou Dominique A. Piczon for Dalaguete
Kathleen Mae G. Lendio for Danao City
Monica Tawide for Madridejos
Malka Shaver for Mandaue City
Nica Soza Nabua for Medellin
Ingrid Elizabeth Gerodias for Minglanilla
Marjorie Campoamor for Pilar Camotes
Megan Deen Campbell for Ronda
Natasha Angela Manuel for Santa Fe
Shane Ann. S. Jereza for Tudela

Once more, I gave the remaining twenty (20) on my list a good mix and removed half of the roster to come up with a Top 10 where the heavy favorites are occupying the highest tier even in alphabetical order of the city/town/municipality they represent.

It is clear at this point that Samantha Lo of Asturias, Apriel Smith of Badian and Maria Gigante of Bantayan are blazing in their efforts to win. And if the report I received is true, there will be three (3) crowns at stake. The only details I am not yet privy to are the specific titles that will appear on the sashes.

Now who could join them in the Top 5? I am leaning towards Ingrid Elizabeth Gerodias of Minglanilla, Megan Deen Campbell of Ronda, Lou Dominique Piczon of Dalaguete and Moselblick Madera of Carmen. Two of them could finish in the magic circle, or all four could be runners-up if the court headcount will increase to seven (7).
