Shout for joy after being called winner.

The Philippine elements of 2014 have been crowned. And the results did not really come as a big surprise anymore. Making it as Miss Philippines Earth 2014 (and the country’s official representative to Miss Earth 2014) is Jamie Herrell of Cebu City. Comprising her elemental runners-up are Miss Philippines Air Diane Querrer, Miss Philippines Water Kimberly Covert, Miss Philippines Fire Ma. Paula Bianca Paz and Miss Philippines Eco-Tourism Monique Manuel.

The five others in the Top 10 are Angelie Crizelle Ocampo, Melanie Balagtas, Crystal Star Aberasturi, Ma. Jenny Gonzales and Bencelle Bianzon. Meanwhile, five ladies eliminated earlier in the semifinals included Mary Ann Ross Misa, Janelle Tee, Ashlejane Alcancia, Leslie Ann Pine and Sarah Theresa Stewart.

Three Very Special Awards were also handed out last night with Jamie Herrell bagging Miss Solaire Resort & Casino, Kimberly Covert getting Miss SM Supermarket and Janelle Tee clinching Miss Hana Shampoo.

Will Lady Luck favor Ross & Bianca?

Time for the swan songs of Mary Ann Ross Misa and Ma. Paula Bianca Paz tomorrow night. The finals of Miss Philippines Earth 2014 will reveal if one of them will achieve a major crown that they have been searching for the longest time.

But then again, the question that begs to be asked is this. Will they give in to retirement after MPE if the official results go against their favor? Or will they push the envelope further and max their respective pageant careers by giving it their absolute best for 2015 when both ladies will have already turned 26 and with Miss Universe Philippines as the only remaining prestigious title to aim for?

Not everyone could be as blessed as MJ Lastimosa. But anyone can always make an attempt to try and follow the trail. The precedent has already been set.

Will they bite? Or is it the right time to take a bow this year? 🙂

A Beauty Battle Royale for Miss Philippines Earth 2014

MPE2014 is shaping up to be a battle between Ross and Bianca.

If beauty pageants had the corresponding equivalents of alpha males, then the likes of Mary Anne Ross Misa and Ma. Paula Bianca Paz will probably get categorized as such. Aside from having stamped their class – albeit with only near-successes so far – in an equal number of national competitions, they always stand head and shoulders above their fellow candidates whenever presentation skills are required. This goes just as literally for Ross who can give quite a towering presence at a little over 5’11” in height.

In the ongoing Miss Philippines Earth 2014, the two ladies are at it again. And at the rate the pre-pageant events are being conducted, things are looking more and more like a Misa VS Paz show with their commanding dispositions at every turn of events. Of course, the other side of the coin could also spoil the anticipated results for both stunners if the organizers are more leaned on the gentler and milder auras of the other contestants who fit the regular template more closely.

You see, Ross and Bianca are two of a kind. And if Carousel is keen on showing off a more definitive Miss Earth wannabe who can be either scene-stealers or performance beauty queens, then crowning one of them would be a wise move. Of course, I’m not touching on camp affiliations yet. If we go by that parameter, then KF is likely to have an edge after having invested their talents a lot longer in MPE than A&Q.

This is one battle royale worth watching, I tell you. 😉

The Bb. Pilipinas Crossovers of Miss Philippines Earth 2014

These eight (8) ladies took part in Bb. Pilipinas before crossing over to Miss Philippines Earth.

These eight (8) ladies took part in Bb. Pilipinas before crossing over to Miss Philippines Earth.

What is the common denominator among the eight (8) ladies above? Simple. They all joined Bb. Pilipinas before crossing over to Miss Philippines Earth 2014. Actually, two (2) of them did it via Miss World Philippines in between (Ross Misa and Bianca Paz):

Mary Anne Ross Misa – Bb. Pilipinas 2010
Ma. Paula Bianca Paz – Bb. Pilipinas 2011 (disqualified)
Mary Rose Pujanes – Bb. Pilipinas 2013
Bencelle Bianzon – Bb. Pilipinas 2013
Anna Carmela Aquino – Bb. Pilipinas 2013
Monique Manuel – Bb. Pilipinas 2011
Anna Czarina Buenviaje – Bb. Pilipinas 2012
Patrixia Sherly Santos – Bb. Pilipinas 2010

If we are to use their previous experiences in big pageants, I would say that any of the beauties above can strongly take the competition, but none moreso than Mary Anne Ross Misa and Bianca Paz. They are the most senior in the batch and the ones who can handle all the nitty gritty of the pre-pageant even with their eyes closed.

I wish them all the best! 🙂

The risks Bianca Paz is willing to take

Whenever a previously-placed beauty contestant decides to take another gamble in the same competition, I can’t help but feel a bit anxious about her chances. I also don’t want to see the face of defeat in someone who has already left a mark in the Top 5 one-two years back (shades of MJ Lastimosa and Abigail Cruz). That is exactly how I feel about the decision of Ma. Paula Bianca Paz to give Miss World Philippines a second try after already being named 3rd Princess to Gwen Ruais in 2011. The risks are far more steep this time around. Losing for a second time, let alone falling short of a Top 5 inclusion, is tantamount to a slap on the face. Nevertheless, I’m sure she consulted Cory Quirino about the same, and must have been given a pep talk on the possibilities – good or bad.

How about you, dear readers? What’s your take on the return of Bianca in the Miss World Philippines competition?
