Congratulations to Bb. Pilipinas and ABS-CBN for a spectacular Bb. Pilipinas 2011 presentation at the Araneta Coliseum! The set design was a big winner – metal comb-like decor hanging everywhere, shades of blue dominating the backdrop and a revolving stage reminscent of old school beauty pageants!

Wonderful hosts – Miriam Quiambao and Lara Quigaman (whose first gown was a carmine creation with some silvery peek-a-boo action going on). Derek Ramsay sizzled and got more applause from the audience than any of the girls (LOLOL!). KC Concepcion was fresh-faced and utterly lovely but unfortunately her first gown was just not elegant enough for something as grand as the Bb. Pilipinas beauty pageant. Not entirely her fault though… someone should have given her more detailed information on the gown code! Her second gown (which she wore too late) was miles better – a blue beaded number.

I am VERY satisfied with the winners – Shamcey Supsup, who won the Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2011 title, was my choice from the get go. I had the pleasure of a long conversation with her Mom and her Tita Joanne during the victory party at the Oasis in Gateway Mall. Apparently, Shamcey  Supsup’s family goes to the same church I used to go to – Victory Christian Fellowship!!! We are sisters in Christ 🙂 how awesome is that?

I also got to chat with Isabella Manjon – although she was not in my final list (can I just stab myself with a 5-inch stiletto?) I am glad she got the Bb. Pilipinas Tourism title because she really stood out during the show. Also, up close, she is beautiful! I was surprised to find out that we had worked before together on a project – I hosted a party for Globe and she happened to be one of the models in that event. In our short tete-a-tete, Isabella Manjon told me that although she models on the side, her real profession is nursing and that her heart is in the medical field.

Dianne Necio, for me, is the lady who deserved her title the MOST! After landing 1st Runner-up last year she decided to join Bb. Pilipinas again this year and FINALLY her childhood dream came true – she is a beauty queen (at last!) and will get to represent the Philippines in the Miss International 2001 2011 beauty pageant. Dianne Necio also had the best winning reaction – even Krissa Arrieta, who crowned her, was in tears! And when they hugged I could feel waves of relief and gratitude radiating from them.

While I am happy for the winners, I am sad for those who didn’t make it. But I am a firm believer that losing is a part of life – we win some and we lose some. The real champions are those who get up, dust themselves and move on to the next thing. So to all the other Binibinis, you are beautiful and wonderfully made so keep on shining!

Congratulations to Madame Stella Araneta, Liliana, Carmela, Gus and the rest of your team for A SUCCESSFUL pageant and thanks for taking care of all the former beauty queens; we appreciate your hard work to make the Bb. Pilipinas the most prestigious beauty pageant in the Philippines!
