Sammie Anne Legaspi for Miss Lumiere International World 2017

While we’re all too wrapped up with Miss World in Sanya, Miss International in Tokyo, Miss Earth here in Manila, The Miss Globe in Tirana and Reina Hispanoamericana in Sta. Cruz, there is one more Filipina fighting it out for the country in Port Dickson, Malaysia at the moment. She is former Binibini (in this year’s batch) Sammie Anne Legaspi who is vying for the title in the inaugural edition of Miss Lumiere International World which will have its finals alongside the ones here at MOA Arena, Albania and Bolivia tomorrow night in Johor.

Thanks to her pageant experience in the national level, Sammie is also standing out in the competition as she placed 2nd Runner-Up in the talent segment and has high hopes that she will do well in the end.

Let us all wish our Beauty Queens the best in their respective conquests for more pageant honors in the international stage.

Best of luck, Sammie! 🙂

Exclusive! A Day with the Binibinis at David’s Salon Academy

Team normannorman.com was all accounted for!

The whole of Monday was literally spent by team normannorman.com at the David’s Salon Academy in Makati City where Joy Arguil, Joseph Gerard Jose and I bonded and took photos with the Binibinis of Bb. Pilipinas 2017 upon the exclusive invitation of Marketing Manager Lotte Villarosa-Agraviador. The event started with a short lecture on the role of the salon company in the nationals, followed by delightful games that were gleefully participated in by the ladies and the stylists. Right about lunchtime, everyone was treated to a simple but yummy buffet before the pampering sessions started. Everyone was treated to relaxing back massages, mani/pedi and foot spas that were accompanied by cool loot bags that contained products that will help them maintain healthy hair and nails.

Hair and Make-Up consultations were also made with the assigned stylists for each Binibini and were given experimental approaches as to what facial applications best suit them. And to cap everything off, David’s Salon owner David Charlton dropped by to have group photos with the ladies and even brought them easter egg chocolates which came all the way from London.

The Binibinis had HMU consultations with their assigned stylists

There were also fun games that set the mood right for the day

The Binibinis were also given pampering back massages, foot spas and mani/pedi

It was fun all throughout, especially for your blogger who really took the opportunity to spend quality time talking to almost everyone. I can now safely say that this is a 99% cool batch of ladies who have the right attitude and personalities to compete for the crowns at stake. Why did I say 99%? Well, you do the math. No batch is uber perfect since there will always be an odd one out in terms of chemistry with everyone. I won’t name a name anymore since she is just one different apple in terms of character and disposition. Who knows, she might still improve her ways and turn out good in less than two weeks’ time.

Allow me also to point out the quality bonding I spent with random Binibinis. I say random because I caught them by their lonesome at given moments and the initial pleasantries turned into more meaningful chats in the process. Big shoutout to #Binibini2 Arienne Calingo, #Binibini19 Rachel Peters, #Binibini20 Christa Borja, #Binibini21 Jamaica Ambal, #Binibini23 Arah Salientes, #Binibini31 Katarina Rodriguez, #Binibini32 Charmaine Elima, #Binibini33 Istie Cequeña, #Binibini37 Sammie Anne Legaspi and #Binibini39 Elizabeth Clenci. I loved practically all of them, though!

Till our next event, Binibinis!

#Binibini37 Sammie Anne Legaspi: “…I want to be the classic Queen with a twist…”

Despite all the trials at the onset, your #Binibini37 is still standing up firmly

Sammie Anne at Manhattan Garden City

Very few people outside BPCI are aware that your #Binibini37 Sammie Anne Legaspi went through an ordeal after being chosen as one of the Official Candidates. She was on the brink of being asked to resign or withdraw due to an existing contract she signed with Miss Global Philippines where still reigns as 2nd Runner-Up. While her joining Bb. Pilipinas was not a big issue for the organization of the latter, she still needed to secure release papers and start her journey as a Binibini on a clean slate. This is where it got tricky because a deadline was set on when she needed to submit the said document, and the authorized signatories were still unavailable at the time. But by sheer determination, she was able to deliver on the eve of March 21. So when Press Presentation unraveled the day after, she was still part of the roster – regardless of whether she still looked unrehearsed with the choreography onstage.

Sammie Anne answered two questions from your blogger. Believe me, her outpouring of emotions was so long that I had to do some edits, as follows:

Anne (2nd from left) obviously missed the steps in choreography during the Press Presentation


1) How does it really feel like to almost lose the chance to be a Binibini – that is #Binibini37 – among all the candidates this year? How were you able to pull yourself through the obstacles that came in the way?

“To be honest, Tito Norman, I felt like I almost died the moment they told me that I might not be part of the competition anymore. The first thing that came into my mind was “where will I go? Am I going back to Carmona, Cavite where I am currently living or will I go straight to Ilocos Sur to explain everything. But then the second question really hit me so hard. “How am I going to explain everything if I wanted to protect the parties involved?”

I was so down and I was not able to hide my emotions those times. It was really painful. It wasn’t just about myself but all the people behind the whole journey. So I went back and as I watched the girls doing their rehearsal for our Press Presentation, I asked myself. “Is this worth fighting for and if so, why? After that moment, I told myself, “I can’t let them down, I can’t just sit here like a cry baby.” So I asked for one last chance and with the help of my camp (KF) and all the people who believed in me, I was able to get back on track…”

2) In just a little over a month from now, a new set of Bb. Pilipinas titleholders will be crowned. Why should you be one of them?

“Before joining Binibini, I told myself that all of the girls are beautiful, smart and talented. So what will be my edge in standing out among them?

Being a beauty queen is like walking perfectly even if your feet hurts, looking like photo-ready even if you’re sick and smiling with sincerity despite all of the bashers. But it does not mean that beauty queens are hypocrites. We are doing it because it is a sign that we are strong enough to turn negative things into positive ones. This is how I see myself as a beauty queen. I want to be the classic Queen with a twist. I want to show them that it is not bad to show who you really are. Stop pretending like somebody else and start opening myself like a blooming flower with thorns that symbolize my strength. Be that flower who can give light and shine to others. I am not afraid to show my flaws and admit my faults for I was created as a human being who is continuously growing and learning in the field of life.


I deserve to be a queen because I will not figuratively put the crown upon my head but place it on top of my heart…”

Win or lose, Anne believes that everything works according to God’s plan for her


Please keep on supporting your #Binibini37 Sammie Anne Legaspi in the Miss Photogenic voting. She may not be as popular as the others yet, but you know that in a contest like the nationals, surprises are always common once the final results are in.

Who knows? This Ilocana might pull a hat trick when it matters most. 🙂

Your Binibini 37 Sammie Anne Legaspi

Sammie Anne is representing Ilocos Sur by way of Cavite in Bb. Pilipinas 2017

Your KF-trained Binibini 37 Sammie Anne Legaspi had a very exciting 2016 up until the early parts of this year. She placed 2nd Runner-Up during Miss Global Philippines, won Miss Sophie Paris Philippines and was named Saniata ti Ilocos Earth – all in a span of less than a year. And when she intimated to me that joining Bb. Pilipinas was something she was seriously considering, I encouraged her to push with the idea. And now, she is one of forty (40) vying for the crowns at stake.

Our subject was born in San Pedro, Laguna 24 years ago but is now residing in Carmona, Cavite.
She is a true-blue Ilocana, though. She is a former Tourism student at De La Salle Dasmariñas who used to be a dance choreographer and singer as part of different organizations to enhance her skills and do some charity works along the way.

Sammie Anne during a previous pictorial in Ilocos Sur

“I am the daughter of volunteer preachers. And since my parents do not have regular income, I use all my God-given talents to support my family. I stopped my studies so I can focus on supporting them because I always believe that education will always be there if I wanted to go back. On the other hand, I can’t have my family forever by my side so I am giving everything that I can offer.”

Sammie is a creative person, fashion-wise. This is an innate talent she has been using for several years now.

Above is a photo grid of attires Anne recycled from old clothes plus fashion accessories she did herself


“Nowadays, the young ones are always trying to be like the people they see on television – buying branded wear and trying to be somebody else. I want to teach and help them on how to be fashionable not because it is the trend but because they should dress and style themselves like they’re showcasing their whole identity. For instance, I am a huge fan of garage sale or ukay-ukay. I love it because aside from being practical, I use to explore my creativity in a sense of challenging myself and going beyond my limits so I could bring out the best in it by giving it a new life.

Fashion should be in the sense that it can speak for itself without using words but the actions of how you carry your clothes whether it is costly or cheap. Because at the end of the day, it is not about the brand names that you carry, but how you carry your personality tagged along your name. Be who you are, embrace it, make your own brand and claim it.”
