Mariella Castillo & Bb. Pilipinas: Six years later

Mariella Castillo first joined Bb. Pilipinas back in 2010. She just might resurface in Bb. Pilipinas 2016.

 
Back in 2010, an 18 year-old pageant newbie named Mariella Castillo signed up for and became an Official Candidate of Bb. Pilipinas 2010. It was a positive experience for the young lass that saw her making it to the Top 15 alongside eventual titleholders Venus Raj, Krista Kleiner, Czarina Gatbonton and company. Fresh from her participation in the same, she was handpicked by the local franchise holders of Miss Global Teen to represent the Philippines in Mato Grosso do Sul the very same year. She was named Queen Teen of Asia & Oceania in the said competition. It was such a significant twin set of exposures that gave her the supposed national and international experience, with meritable placements to boot.

And then Mariella went low-profile thereafter to focus on studies when she studied Fashion Design at the College of Saint Benilde. Some work stints followed afterwards. But when the pageant bug started acting up once more, my sources are saying that she will return to Bb. Pilipinas 2016 – fiercer and more polished. Let’s see what Mariella can offer now as a 24 year-old fighter. My expectations have doubled, so to speak.

Watch out for her! 😉

Chelsea Durocher, 20, ousted 54 other ladies on her way to be crowned Miss Universe Canada 2011 last June 25. She will now banner her country in the Miss Universe 2011 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The 5’9″ eye candy from Tecumseh, ON is a College Junior at the University of Windsor (majoring in Drama) and was actually Miss Global Teen Canada 2010 and 2nd runner-up in the Miss Global Teen Pageant which was coincidentally held in Brazil (Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul) as well. Fluent in both English and French, she works on the side as a children’s fitness instructor and teaches private swimming lessons.

Chelsae’s court of beauties in the national competition includes 1st Runner Up Elishia Sahota, 2nd Runner-Up Brooke Boyle, 3rd Runner-Up Emily Kiss and 4th Runner-Up Krystal Bedard.

Congratulations, Chelsae! Good luck in Sao, Paulo! 😉

It would be hard to imagine any pre-pageant activity without giving the ladies a chance to spend at least one night-out among themselves. The 16 ladies in Brazil for Miss Global Teen 2010 did just that and they had a lot of fun bonding and posing for photographers before they actually painted the town red.

Miss Global Teen 2010 updates: the early arrivals

The ladies (teens, if you will) have started arriving in Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, Brazil for the Miss Global Teen 2010. Misses Philippines Mariella Castillo and South Africa Lisa de Bique are the first to check in at the Bahamas Hotel last weekend and have become roommates for the entirety of the pageant.

Miss Philippines Mariella Castillo (2nd from left) and Miss South Africa Lisa de Bique (in blue) were the first ladies to arrive for the Miss Global Teen 2010 competition. They are pictured here with the pageant organizers.

Mariella travelled close to 48 hours before landing in Campo Grande and it amazes the organizers that she still looks so fresh and beautiful after the long and punishing flights (including connections and layovers) to South America.

Even after close to 48 hours of travel going to Brazil, Miss Philippines Mariella Castillo looked fresh and ready to pose for the cameras.
