These are the female contenders for Bodyshots Philippines 2014. Prior to the Press Presentation, I was all set to put my stamp of approval to all the former Bb. Pilipinas joiners. But then again, there were some relative unknowns who amped up their presence and could spoil things up for the very familiar ladies.

P.S. Vina Openiano’s set card was not yet available as of press time.

Just like the men, I took the liberty of sharing my six (6) preferred competitors based on their actual ramp and projection skills yesterday. There is statuesque Analita Vizcarra, Binibini 24 Ednornance Agustin, Fil-Japanese Aira Inoue, young upstart Hilda Ronato, Binibini 34 Leonalyn dela Cruz and the very short bob-cut and round-eyed Angelica Bernardo.

My six early favorites

I wanted to include Racquel Kabigting, but she just wasn’t in her best elements doing Bodyshots. Or perhaps, she was not up to the Press Presentation proceedings. Hopefully, she can still step up to the plate before the scheduled finals on June 28.
