I have reservations with some of the girls’ shots (because a lot of them really look good in person) but I would add that this is an excellent batch of candidates – even stronger than last year’s because I still could not come up with my predictions for the March 6 Coronation Night.

Below is the video clip of the candidates’ guesting during the Anniversary Presentation of Master Showman Presents on GMA-7 last weekend.
