As is usual with Miss Philippines Earth 2012, I shall now present my Top 16 Favorites for the Finals scheduled this coming Sunday night (May 27) at the SM Mall of Asia Center Stage. In alphabetical order, they are:

Miss Mun. of Alaminos, Ariella Arida

Miss Bacolod City, Dianne Dreyfus

Miss Fil-Belgium, Roxanne Corluy

Miss Mun. of Cabugao, Dorothy Joy Pagurayan

Miss Mun. of Daraga, Ina Dominica Guerrero

Miss Mun. of Indang, Jaydielou Dilidili

Miss Makati City, Abbygale Rey

Miss Mun. of Marilao, Aufelyn Zabala

Miss Muntinlupa City, Kathleen Subijano

Miss Negros Oriental, Glenna Christina Duch

Miss Quezon City, Stephany Dianne Stefanowitz

Miss Mun. of San Fernando, Romblon Margaret May Llavor

Miss Mun. of San Francisco, Cebu Princess Manzon

Miss San Juan City, Samantha Purvor

Miss Tabuk City, Glennifer Perido

Miss Vigan City, Candice Ramos

From this group of 16, it becomes fairly easy to come up with my Top 8 ladies, in random order:

Miss Vigan City, Candice Ramos

Miss Bacolod City, Dianne Dreyfus

Miss Negros Oriental, Glenna Christina Duch

Miss Tabuk City, Glennifer Perido

Miss Muntinlupa City, Kathleen Subijano

Miss Fil-Belgium, Roxanne Corluy

Miss San Juan City, Samantha Purvor

Miss Quezon City, Stephany Dianne Stefanowitz

Now here is where it gets tougher. Assigning Elements plus the Eco-Tourism title can be tricky because the final Q&A will most likely define the order by which the Five (5) winners will be ranked. But just to put in my prediction for the finals, my Top 5 would look like this:

My Predicted Winners:

Miss Philippines Air 2012: GLENNIFER PERIDO
Miss Philippines Water 2012: STEPHANY DIANNE STEFANOWITZ
Miss Philippines Fire 2012: DIANNE DREYFUS
Miss Philippines Eco-Tourism 2012: GLENNA CHRISTINA DUCH

The circle of Top 5 can go different ways, so anybody among my personal 5 picks would make a deserving winner.

At this point, I can only wish the ladies the best of luck, and may the best environmentally-attuned beauty represent us in Miss Earth 2012 in Indonesia! 😉
