Bb. Pilipinas 2009 Candidate #13, top favorite Sandra Inez Seifert is reportedly out of contention at this coming Saturday's Bb. Pilipinas 2009 Finals.

GMA 7 flagship news - 24 Oras reported last night that Seifert, 25 years old Filipina German beauty who is representing her mother's native city of Bacolod , was apparently disqualified for 'technical' reasons among which was posing for the mens magazine back in 2007.

Seifert who was interviews by GMA News off cam confirmed the news by saying she has receive the letter of disqualification from BPCI, the organizers of the annual Bb. Pilipinas Pageant and that efforts between BPCI representatives and Seifert's lawyers to negotiatie were futile.

Seifert have not been seen participating with the rest of the Bb. Pilipinas 2009 candidates at last night's Araneta Coliseum rehearsals.

As of press time, there has been no official comment/press release from BPCI re Seifert's disqualification. Seifert's photos as one of this year's official candidates has not been pulled out from the official Bb. Pilipinas website at www.bbpilipinas.com

Sources though have been quoted that BPCI's decision to disqualify Sandra Seifert is 'final'.


*My Personal Thoughts:

This writer is deeply saddened and disapponted by this latest sad developments re Sandra Seifert.

Again , as always, I blame BPCI for all what is happening right now. How can they find grounds of disqualification for a specific candidate with just three days left of the month long competition? If they were the efficient and legitimate beauty organization that they think they are, then they should have pulled the carpet on her even before the official candidates were introduced. BPCI gave her wrong impression that she was in the contest for the long haul - the entire duration, more than enough for Sandra to give out all her best efforts in the various pre pageant activities - only to be disappointed and heart broken later with this news of her disqualification and three days before the final night. That is really traumatic for a young girl whose dreams and hopes have been shuttered by the ineptness and antiquated ways of an organization that claims to empower and uplift women. If there is someone or people that needs to be banished into oblivion right now, then I and I'm sure most Pinoy pageant fans, no matter how short termed and forgiving memories we all are, that would have to be the members of the BPCI Executive Committee, their cohorts headed by Stella Marquez de Araneta and Jose 'Pitoy' Moreno.

Enough is enough with inside politics and inefficiency ! Time to mount a boycott for the hypocrisy, farce, double standards that is the Bb. Pilipinas Charities In(eptness)c.

This is some of my somehow opinion based on what I have seen awhile ago during the parade and talent portion of the candidates

01. Vanessa Johnson - beautiful mestisa but lacks height. I think that she's around 5'4 only.

02. Carisheila May KUIJPERS - overhyped for me. I find some of her angles not that interesting and hse lacks height either at around 5'5 only. Her body is proportioned though.I think she looks better in pictures.

03. Richell ANGALOT - height is around 5'5 as well. She's got a beautiful face and i find her body better than Cai for she has more curves. (but i have yet to see them in swimsuit)

Maria Paula Bianca PAZ- beautiful!

11. Regina HAHN - beautiful cute and confident face but her body is not that proportioned I believe. Maybe her face is a bit big for her height. I have yet to see her for the 2nd time though for me to really say that her body is not that proportioned.

10 Priscilla Navidad- height is around 5'7. I think that looking at all the candidates when they're together, I can say that she's one of those who are standout. she has the usual chinese face but I think that she looks better in person. She's got long legs as well and a bit of nice curves.

#13 Sandra Inez Seifert - When i saw her, I believe (its my opinion based on what I have seen) that she looks like angelina jolie but an older version. She's beautiful though.I beleiev that her height is around 5'6-5'7.

15. Pamela Bianca MANALO - her height is around 5'8-5'9. she has a proportioned body.very fresh face. simple but you can say that she's beautiful. Better than her sister i must say.

17. Marie-Ann UMALI- height is around 5'8. has small face ans is beautiful as well. Pacute but its is alright. She's got nice curves. I would want to see more spunk when it comes to her walk and how she speaks.

#20 Melody Gersbach - beautiful as well but my concern is her teeth. There's something wrong with it though she's one of the standouts in the batch. Not that tall either around 5'5-5'6 only.


24. Abigail Lesley CRUZ - height is around 5'5 as well. Im not a fan of her ever since. I thought that when I see her in person, everythig will change but it seems that what you see on tv is what you see in person as well.

Over-all:
Some of the candidates' height are not that tall either. My height is 5'8 and I was surprised when I got a chance to come close to them. Even if they're already wearing high heels, they seem to be near my height! If someone of my height would wear a 3 or 4 inches heels, then they should look like 5'11 or 6 footer right? but I was saddened by the fact that filipinas do not really give their true height.. no wonder when our candidates is with the other contestants in the big3 or 4, they seem to be smaller than other candidates. But i must say that most of them are totally beautiful. Maybe 3-4 of all the candidates are only not that beautiful but not ugly as well. Best batch since 2000 when it comes to beauty but not in height.

Nasaksihan ng source ko ang isang eksena ng isang sikat na actor/singer at isang singer/actor.
Paglabas niya sa ele­vator ng isang condominium building ay ang actor/singer at singer/actor ang bumungad sa kanyang mga mata.
Hinahalikan ng actor/singer si singer/actor.
Naka-boxer at shirtless si actor/singer. Bisita niya sa kanyang condo unit ang singer/actor. Mukhang nagpapaalamanan na sila.
Kitang-kita rin ni actor/singer ang source ko, kaya nag-blush ito.
Si singer/actor ay natameme at biglang umalis.
Ang source ko na nahiya sa kanyang nasaksihan ay nag-dialogue ng, “Pwedeng magpa-picture?”
Wala na siyang ibang nasabi.


Piolo pascual- sikat na actor/singer; Mark Bautista- singer/actor.

so truli pala ito?

Iuulat ko lang po sa inyo ang aking mga nakita, narinig at sariling impresyon sa mga naggagandahan nating mga delegada sa taong ito. Magiging diretso at prangka po tayo sa ilang bahagi ng komentaryong ito pero titiyakin ko sa inyong wala akong pinapanigang kampo o mga partikular na kandidata sa ibabahagi ko sa inyong mga kuru-kuro.

1) Vanessa Johnson - di katangakaran, hindi gaanong balingkinitan ang katawan ngunit di maikakailang isa sa mga may pinakamagandang mukha sa timpalak na ito. Base sa reaksyon sa kanya ng madla, marami rin ang humanga sa taglay niyang ganda. Bagay sa kanyang maging unang kandidata--senyales ng isang magandang simula. 87

2) Caris Kuijpers - di katangakaran, balingkinitan ang katawan at nagtataglay ng pangkaraniwang kagandahan ng isang Pilipina. Bagamat isa sya sa pinaka-maingay na paborito ng mga tagasubaybay ng Bb. Pilipinas, di naman siya pinagkaguluhan ng karamihan sa mga taong nanonood ng parada. Pero base sa kanyang malawak na karanasan sa pagmomodelo at tagumpay sa iba pang patimpalak, maaari nating asahang magagamit ito ni Caris para magtagumpay din sa Binibining Pilipinas. 89

3) Richell Angolot - Pinalakpakan at tinilian sya sa parada DAHIL SYA'Y ARTISTA. Maganda si Rich at maayos naman ang hubog ng kanyang katawan. Sa kabila ng lahat ng ito, maliban na lang kung may magagawa ang kanyang pagiging isang GMA7 talent, baka hindi pa ito ang tamang panahon sa kanyang lubos na pagtatagumpay. 86

4) Rivamonte - 78

5) Diana Arevalo - maganda, kaakit-akit. Pero sa dami ng magagandang kalahok sa taong ito, hindi garantisado ang kanyang pagpasok sa top 10 sa aking opinyon. Sana naman, sakali mang hindi sya lumusot sa taong ito'y muli pa syang lumahok sa susunod na mga taon. 84

6) Bianca Paz - mas maganda sya sa personal kaysa sa larawan. Napapatingkad ng mga larawan ang kanyang may kalakihang ilong. Sa malapitan naman, sya'y maalindog, at may ganda ng isang tunay na Pilipina. 85

7) Mary Jane dela Cruz - mas maganda rin ang isang ito sa personal. Katanungan nga lamang ay kung sapat na ito upang siya'y mapabilang sa top 10. Sa palagay ko'y hindi. 80

8) Cheryl Oliveros - maganda si Cheryl, walang duda. Pero bakit bago pa man siya makaraan ay naka-lingon na ang iba sa susunod na kandidata? Parang di sya pansinin--at hindi ito magandang senyal. 80

9) April Love Jordan - may alindog ding angkin si April. Pero parang mas gusto ko ang kanyang ganda nung una siyang sumali sa Ms. Philippines? Tila mas may ningning ang kanyang mga mata sa timpalak na iyon at parang mas sariwa ang kanyang kagandahan sa una niyang kumpetisyon. Parang nahuli si April ng pagsali sa Binibini ng isa o dalawang taon. Sayang. 82

10) Pricilla Navidad - maganda si Pricilla! Mahaba ang mga biyas at makinis din ang balat. Nakatulong din sa pagkilala sa kanya ng madla ang pagiging dati niyang kasambahay sa bahay ni kuya. May pag-asa si Pricilla, lalo na't kung mai-engganyo ang mga hurado sa kanya dahil sa kanyang determinsayon sa kabila ng kanyang kapansanan. Kaya nga lamang, marami rin sa mga nanood ng parada ang nagsabing suplada sya. Hindi raw sila pinapansin kahit tawagin pa raw nila ng Pricilla! Pricilla! Baka naman kaya -- HINDI SILA NARIRINIG nito!!! 86

11) Regina Hahn - Nagbabalat lang ba ang kanyang kutis dahil sa tindi ng araw o talagang "rough road" ito, gaya ng nabulalas ng ilang nanonood sa parada? 81

12) Jaycel Arozal - gusto ko si Jaycel noong nakaraang taon, gusto ko pa rin sya hanggang ngayon. Gandang Pilipinas, matangkad, mukhang biba at may magandang pangangatawan. Huwag lang sasablay sa pakikipagtalastasan, may pag-asa. 85

13) Sanda Seifert - Mestiza, maganda at balingkinitan ang kanyang katawan. Marami ang nagsasabing may malaki syang pag-asang mag-uwi ng korona. Siguro nga. 92

14) Keann Mallari - mas maganda siya noong 2006 kaysa ngayon. Top 10 sya noon, ewan ko ngayon. 81

15) Bianca Manalo - makinis at may maganda namang mukha kaya't napansin din ng karamihan. Nagpalakpakan para sa kanya ang isang grupo ng mga matrona (siguro ito ay ang mga kaibigan ng kanyang Tita Nini). Mas gusto ko sya kaysa sa kanyang kapatid na dati ring nagwagi pero marami pa ang dapat ayusin sa kanya (lalo na sa kanyang pangangatawan) sakali mang palarin siyang magwagi. 86

16) Jones - maganda din. Sana'y sumali siyang muli sa susunod na taon. 84

17) Marie Ann Umali - di ako nabigo kay Marie Ann Umali sa inaasahan kong kagandahan niya. Maganda rin ang kanyang katawan. Tulad ni Jaycel, harinawa'y huwag sumablay si Marie Ann sa pakikipag-panayam. 90

18) Lorraine de Guzman - maganda, matangkad at may dating si Lorraine. Kung sa ibang taon siya sumali, tiyak na itong pasok sa top 10. Ang napasin ko lang kulang sa kanya ay kanto sa bandang panga, dahil may pagka-bilog ang mukha nito. Sakaling di sya palarin, sana'y maghanda pa sya ng ganap at muling lumahok sa Bb. Pilipinas. 84

19) Stephanie Senires - mas maganda siya sa personal kaysa sa inihahalintulad sa kanyang si Madame Auring. May dating siyang pagka-sopistikada. Baka makalusot sa top 10. 85

20) Melody Gersbach - alam kong maraming tututol pero sa mga pangkaraniwang tagahangang kagaya ko, siya ang pinaka-maganda, pinaka-balingkinitan at pinaka-makinis na kandidata sa parada kahapon. Marami siyang naging mga tagahanga sa mga nanood kahapon sa Araneta Center. Alam niyo naman ang mga Pinoy mahilig sa mapuputing mestisa, at gandang parang artista. Mukhang palaban din ang isang ito. Kahit pa bahagyang umuulan, walang humpay sa kakakaway sa mga tagahanga. Ang tangi kong ikinaka-kaba kay Melody ay ang di nito pagiging matangkad. Hindi rin sya magandang magrehistro sa mga larawan. Sa kabila nito, tingin ko'y walang dudang papasok siya sa top 10. 93

21) Hazel Sutch - medyo mas maganda siya sa personal kaysa sa mga larawan. 81

22) Pricilla Mai Honorio - isang sorpresa! Maganda at grasyosa. Di rin magpapahuli ang isang ito. Pag hindi pinalad sa gabi ng koronasyon, sana'y agarang magbalik si Pricilla sa Binibini. Sa ibang mga taon, marahil ay tiyak na sana siya sa korona--base sa ganda. 85

23) Barbara Salvador - tunay na gandang Pinay at may sarili ring alindog. Pasok si Barbara sa top 10 (para sa akin), lalo na't halata ang kanyang kumpyansa sa sarili. Sana nga lang, ayusin niya ang kanyang pag-ngiti. Walang ningning sa kanyang mga mata pag siya'y ngumingiti. 88

24) Abegail Cruz - may dayaan o wala, papasok naman marahil si Abby. Para siyang Japanese Food - masarap sa iba, ikinasusuka naman ng iba. Sa huli, siya'y may kaibhan sa ibang kandidata. 88

Base sa mga itinala nating marka sa mga kandidata, ang top 10 ay sina: Gersbach, Seifert, Umali, Kuijpers, Salvador, Cruz, Johnson, Angolot, Navidad at Manalo.

Kung top 12 naman, maaaring lumusot din sina: Paz, Arozal, Honorio at Senires.

Sa aking top 5, ganito ko sila gusto iayos base sa mga pamantayan ng mga pandaigdigang timpalak (ang unang pangalan ang aking 1st choice):

Bb. Universe - SEIFERT, Umali, Kuijpers, Salvador
Bb. World - GERSBACH, Kuijpers, Umali
Bb. International - UMALI, Gersbach
1st Runner Up - CRUZ, Salvador, Kuijpers
2nd Runner Up - SALVADOR, Cruz

Isa lamang pong opinyon. Sana'y maging patas ang timbangan ng mga hurado sa gabi ng koronasyon!

Since the finals are approaching in just a few days, I would like to take a moment to discuss how strong the 2009 batch is. I'm quite impressed with the caliber of beauty the Philippines has to offer this year, and I truly hope that a beautiful woman is celebrated with a well-deserved victory.

With that said, I am rooting for the following ladies of whom I believe will best represent the Philippines, in the International field of beauty.

Miss Philippines-Universe:
Carisheila Kuijpers, Mary-Ann Umali, Sandra Seifert
and surprisingly, Barbara Salvador.

-Cai is hyped but she'sgorgeous. I think she has an excellent chance of winning this title and could definitely compete against the powerhouses. Mary-Ann is a sentimental favorite. I truly appreciate her beauty and I hope she gets a chance to be in the spotlight. Barbara is stunning. Every photo I've seen of her, she always stands out. I think she may be a spoiler. Finally, Sandra, although a strong contender, I prefer the above ladies. Though I do think she'll go far in the competition.

Miss Philippines World:
Regina Hahn, Pamela Bianca Manalo and Paula Bianca Paz.

-Bianca is actually quite refreshing. Like her sister, if she competes at Miss World, I have no doubt that her beauty will NOT be ignored. Regina is the daughter of a former Miss, and she's naturally beautiful. I like her look. Paula is also quite gorgeous. She looks and exudes a true Filipina and she would be easily noticed amongst the other beauties.

Miss Philippines-International:
Diana Arevalo, Jaysel Arrozal and Richell Angalot.

-Diana is the dusky, sexy girl that I think could repeat a Lara Quigaman. Gorgeous. I also like Jaysel because she has a very alluring quality about her. And Richell is just beautiful. Very sexy.

To be honest, I would be very happy with any of the above mentioned girls winning a title. These are the ones that stand out to me. They all have something special within them, that would easily differentiate them from the other girls on the International level. Therefore, I feel that they are the strongest.

Beauty, brains, fitness and confidence=complete package. Let's just hope that the judges can finally choose the "right" girls.

That's All!

Sandra Inez Seifert has been absent from Bb. Pilipinas activities for the past 2 days. It is reported that she was booted out of the pageant due to her pictorial that came out in FHM magazine. On with the pageant...there are more deserving girls than her. Wonder what her trainor, Rodgil Flores, is saying about this.

politics was never involved in international pageants ...most specially Miss Universe... To be honest Past winners of these contest are hands down the most deserving ladies to win it.

Miss Universe's criteria in making their selections is modern beauty. Jennifer barrientos has the face and the bidy but she hella lacked of grace , confidence and personality.

We all know that every contestant is beautiful in their own way but who will out shine each other ..Dayana Mendoza was perfect! she shad style , the personality the walk and she can work it! Same with Riyo Mori ( who's isnt the prettiest ) but she had the modern fashionista look...

Beaded dressed are yucky! 80's are out ... if you ever wanna bring something back.. then bring the 70's ..chiffon and laces and high heels... and please bb pilipnas organizers ..STOP MAKING THE CONTESTANTS HAVE SMOKEY EYES .. NOT EVERYONE CAN PULL THAT LOOK! GO MORE NATURAL , MORE SUN KISSED! I cant believe something high budgeted could be so outdated ....

Rajo Laurel is the perfect desinger for this year's winners not Barraza ....

Goodluck to all the candidates and may the best girl win!

Im routing for Carishiela and Sandra and Marie Ann ... height is not the big issue nor brains ..its confidence!

Based on pics, press presentation performance, overall impressions, and personal judgment, here are my faves who I think will make it among the semi-finalists come March 7:

1. Regina Hahn - check out beautiful forehead, pointy nose, ultra feminine features, registers well in pics, proportionate body; she has the height and good genes; overall, on her own merits, she'l make waveshere and abroad. Her Mestiza features are not so strong as compared to Sandra.

2. Mary Ann Umali -- I find her stunningly pretty, sexy and downright appealing. Her Eurasian beauty cant be missed; she can be mistaken for a Thai, Jap, or from somewhere where Asia and Europe meet; her facial and body features are very feminine; she also has the experience, training, height and built that will make her stand out in any of the three major international tilts. She's my bet for Ms. Universe-Philippines.

She appears quite beautiful whether in pics or in person. One can easily sense the presence of a Goddess even from a distance. She cuts through air with her stunning beauty, sheer feminine sexiness and catwalk skills. One cant help but be affected by her effervescense and animal magnetism. For me, she is sexiness personified.

3. Jasel Arrozal - Another women who has the height, uniquely Asian face and beauty, curvaceous body and animal magnetism to boot. She is Asian beauty personified. Her lips and beautiful aura will make her advance to the finals. She will be tough competition even abroad, at least, in terms of physical beauty. She is simply front runner material of a high quality. She reminds me of Miss Czech Republic when Dayanarra Torres won. This girl, if she wins, will makes waves in the international arena. Beautiful skin quality esp her skin tone gives her a special allure. Take note of her pouty lips and smile.

4. Bianca Manalo - Does she really look chubby in person? Well, accdg to some who have seen her, it would seem. But in terms of facial beauty and x-factor appeal, she is far more superior than Kate Manalo. Ive seen both in person and up close. She exudes more colegiala appeal than older sis. Older sis is really chubby but a stand out in any crowd because of her height and curvacious body. She has a weird way of wlaking.

Last Dec. on my way back from CDO, Bianca was a crew on board. I thought she was like the most beautiful stewardess Ive seen in any PAL flight Ive taken locally. In fact, she's a truly a beautiful Filipina Chnita. Everyone as in everyone was staring at her -- her moves were being scrutinized all throughout the flight back to Manila. Her facial features are refined, shes has a small pointy nose that fits her small face. Honestly, she didnt look chubby at all as in every part of her body that was exposed was thin. At first, she reminded me so much of Nicole Kidman. Her moves were naturally refined and malumanay. She is a real woman through and through. I think sanay na sya being stared at as she didnt show signs of being conscious that everyone, male or female, was staring at her. She captivated everyone with her Eurasian beauty --Spanish mestiza mixed with Chinese blood. She stunned all of us at the back. Mananahimik ka na lang when she walks pass you. Napagandang babae. For me she is a uniquely beautiful Filipina and I expect her to win any of the crowns.

6. Sandra Seifert - according to some, she possesses the total package, and is ready to compete internationally. But I have reservations if she will do well in Ms. Universe. She will lose out to far more beautiful and competitive mestizas from latin/south America. Unfortunately, because of age, she can only qualify to represent our country in Ms. Universe. Her beauty is not unique. In fact, her looks are ordinary in Europe. We need someone who is fiercely competitive and packaged as an Asian glamazon.

7. April Love Jordan - she has the looks, body and chops to boot and experience behind her. But she is not fiercely competitive. Although, come pageant night, she might just spring a pleasant surprise. She is a uniquely Malay beauty who exhudes feminine appeal and sexiness.

8. Kari Sheila Kaujpers - cute, not so pointy nose, but very appealing; what she lacks in height she makes up by exhuding sweetness, femininity and grace under pressure; I do see her placing among the finalists. This will not be her year what with taller competitors. Her height, or lack of it, may be her major drawback. If only she was a tad taller. She has to work harder on her overall packaging. I strongly prefer long straight hair for her.

9. Barbara Salvador - a beautiful Filipina who exudes charms and sex appeal. She has the body, curves and proportion to compete and make it among the winners.

10 Priscilla Honorio - very appealing and sexy, she has the gait and can be competitive; her unique facial features can make her stand out in a sea of causacasians in the international arena. Body-wise, she has the goods that are necessary to compete and win.

11 Bianca Paz - exudes Pinay sex appeal to the max especially when made up. She reminds me so much of the appeal of Mafae Yunon when she won.

12 Abby Cruz - luck may not be on her side the second time around. Having Paolo Bediones as a bf can work to her disadvantage. Can u imagine witnessing an irregularity happening on prime time TV. BPC should be more discreet in matters that may tarnish its image even more. They should select another host during the Q&A assuming Abby gets to be among the semi-finalists or finalists. Nakaka-embarass to both of them and to us watching. It may raise questions later if she wins or places. I think its unfair to have both of them on stage exchanging pleasantries before teh Q&A.

The quality of the candidates in this year’s Bb Pilipinas reminds me of the quality of the girls in Bb Pilipinas 1994. In 1994, BPCI attracted many tall supermodels , local beauty titlists, actresses, and even a daughter of a former beauty queen – many can speak their minds and were really competing to win the crowns. There were so many girls with a complete package that you almost felt certain that we would do well in the top 3 pageants. And history proved just that.
One of those girls who caused a bit of stir was 5’11 Cara Subijano. This drop-dead gorgeous balikbayan from University of California represented us in Supermodel of the World competition in 1991. Many fans, including myself, were predicting her to win Bb Pilipinas Universe from day one because of her height, perfect face, and educational background. But some people were conflicted because she was not the only supermodel in the batch- 5’10 Pampanguena, Abbygail Arenas, was also rumored to join and compete for the crown. This Linda Evangelista look-alike represented us in Supermodel of the World in 1992 and for many she offered a fresher and edgier look than Cara. But then came the news that a daughter of a former beauty queen was rumored to join. They were referring to 5’9 Charlene Gonzalez – daughter of Elvira Gonzalez. Although tall, Charlene was not your typical model , but she had the voluptuous figure and the beauty queen pedigree which judges really appreciate. Other candidates which made the competition more exciting were 5’8 Alma Concepcion, who was not only a finalist in Supermodel Philippines which Cara won, but also a winner of Ms Honda Trendy a year back.
Other equally stunning girls were 5’5 Sovietskaya Bacud, who just won a televison pageant that year. Sovietskaya’s interesting name and her perfect figure really made her a formidable candidate that year. 5’8 soap commercial model, Shiela Marie Dizon, was also predicted to do well. This girl-next-door type beauty also had the class and pedigree which gave her a dark horse image to many fans. 5’10 Michelle Tuazon, who also competed in Bodyshots and a finalist in the one-time Miss Maja-Philippines national competition a year hence, was also predicted to do well. Finally, 5’8 actress and commercial model Janine Barredo, was banking on her fame and name recall to get her the crown.
And history unraveled – Charlene won the right to represent us in Miss Universe, Cara went on to represent us in Miss World, while Alma Concepcion edged out veteran Abbygail to go to Japan for Miss International and register the biggest upset in the history of Binibini. And yes, as predicted, all three landed in the top 10 in their respective pageants.
This year, many pageant aficionados are predicting that we can replicate the feat of our Binibinis in 1994. But I dare say we not only we can replicate our achievements in 1994, but that of India in the same year. 2004 will go down in history as the year of “perfect faces and complete packages”.
This year’s Cara and Abbygail are crowd favorites Cai Kuijpers(5’8) and Sandra Seifert (5’10). Cai is winner of Miss Estee Lauder modeling competition in Malaysia. After Miriam Quiambao, Cai is touted to be one of the most beautiful candidates we have ever had in Binibining Pilipinas. She is my personal favorite and anything less than Bb Pilipinas Universe is an injustice for her. Cai will surely end our self inflicted drought in Miss Universe. Sandra Seifert (5’10) represented us in Elite Model finals. Sandra is well spoken, tall, and is a contender for Miss Swimsuit this year. Rumor has it that Sandra is solely eligible for Miss Universe and hence Cai or other qualified girls will have to settle for Miss World and Miss International. I would begrudgingly agree to this ultimate sacrifice so her beauty will not go to waste by not competing internationally due to age ineligibility. How about the veterans? April Jordan (5’9) is a pageant veteran having been a 4th runner up to a minor international competition. She will most likely grab Miss Swimsuit this year, especially after losing 7 pounds since her last competition. Older fans compare her to Patty Betita, a 5’9 morena Bodyshots winner. If April aces the Q&A, she could even represent us in Miss Universe. And how about Charlene Gonzalez for 2009? I dare say it’s Bianca Manalo (5’10), but since she seems to be losing steam this early, I am replacing her with Melody Gersbach (5-8), who is looking lovelier by the day. Melody is Miss Bicolandia 2009 and has another killer figure and beautiful skin. Melody seems to know her strategy very well – she speaks to the press as much as Sandra Seifert does and she comes across as “palaban”. Some people have compared her to Azra Akin and have even predicted that her face is the type Miss International is looking for. Another Charlene for this year is Regina Hahn (5-9), who is the daughter of Chiqui Brosas and looks like Teresa Licaros with a beauty pageant pedigree. And the “actress” factor? There’s Abbygail Cruz (5’6) who seems to be more beautiful and more prepared this year, and Rachel Angalot (5-7) whose determination can only compare to Venezuelans especially since she is vocal about her goal to win. How about the “veteran” factor? Well, we have Keanne Mallari (5’10) from Angeles City, who seems to have lost brownie points from her Top 10 stint in 2006 but is still a spoiler nonetheless, and Mary Ann Umali, whose type of beauty has been proven in Miss International through the likes of Chrisitina Sawaya, Miss International 2004.
I am conflicted as well in my choices, but I would like to see the following ladies to win: Cai, Sandra, Melody, April, and Barbie. I prefer Cai for Miss Universe (we need to resurrect the excitement of Filipinos in Miss Universe), Sandra for Miss World, and Melody or April in Miss International. Barbie can be a spoiler for Bb Pilipinas International I would not mind at all.

you should send the mixed girls. to showcase the diversity of our country. kasi, parang makita nila na may mga mestiza at bumbay and hispanic looking girls rin tayo, di ba?

send the best girl to world. and the least pretty one to universe. miss universe is a lost cause and even if we picked the most beautiful girl to compete there, chances are she wont win.

Wow!

I've been following this pageant for quite some time now and based my judgments on things said about the candidates and their pictures. But I found out that things are quite different when you actually see the candidates in person.

I do not know them by name so I relied solely on their number tags and to my surprise this is how is saw them:

Universe: 10 or 20
World: 10 or 20
International: 17
1st Runner Up: 7
2nd Runner Up: toss up 12 or 2

Choose this year's winners strictly according to the criteria of best in beauty and form, grace and style, intelligence, dignity, cultured background and self respect and to best fit to the specific beauty mold/relevance of the internationla pageant that they are going to compete.

No politicking please and this plea goes too all concerned - form the highest level that is the BPCI Executive Committee, to the distinguished judges, to the TV netowrk producer, sponsor executives down to the different talent managers , even to avid pageant fans.

Let's not all waste a good year of quality beauties by choosing the wrong beauties for the wrong reasons. We've waited so long for our next Miss Universe winner and our first Miss World. We need to another Miss International winner too to boost our sagging morales.

I think this is not much to ask - "Do it all right this time!"

(server1.mydosty.com/75.127.68.98)

My question is, what really are the roles of beauty pageants in society? What are they achieving? And how important are beauty pageants in empowering women? Because most often, that is the reason cited by organizers - they want to empower women.

So the question of empowerment, I want to know how are beauty pageant actually empowering these girls? What happens to them after they are crowned during the final night, much more after their reigns? Out of the thousands of beauties crowned every year in different Philippine beauty pageants (for that matter arouns the world), how many of them can truthfully say they are what they are today as a result of participating in and or being crowned Miss so and so. Now tell me honestly.

And how many can say that they have been helped to reach where they are as a result of beinng empowered (either financially, educationally, socially, politically or economically) by beauty pageants?

Although beauty pageant organizers will say they are empowering women, I dont see how they can make this claim when at the end of the day, all contestants look, sound and move in the same manner.

From their hairstyles, to their clothes to their way of speaking, all contestants tend to blend into one. So where is the empowerment to be an individual , distinct woman?

So many questions but few answers. My only concern is the deception that is going on - making these women believe anything other than it is. That to me is the truth of the matter.

But hey , these are but the reflections of an ordinary working Filipina woman.

Nag pull out ba siya?

Hindi ma deny, mukhang tumitindi ang pressure sa Bb. Pilipinas ngayong ilang araw na lang ang finals. Mukhang pagod at haggard loking na ang ibang mga kandidata sa sunod na suond na activites lined up for them. You kust have to see the eyes of some of the beauties from the fashion show pics at ma realize mo pagod na ang iba.

Anyway, yang pag ka pagod na yan daihl sa mga left and right activites, it's not even one half sa ma i experience mo pag mag compete ka na sa abroad. Triple pa ang pagod doon. Kaya dapat uminom ng mga vitamin supplements para ma boost yuong endurance fo the remaining days of the pageant. Practice lang ang naranasan niyong pagod sa Bb ngayon girls. If you really want to represent us abroad then prepare yourself mentally, emotionally, physically para sa international competitions.

Good luck sa inyong lahat.

Okay, so after looking at the official and unofficial photos of the girls, after watching clips of them on various TV guestings, after hearing biased and unbiased personal comments from avid and rapid pageant fans, and after consulting some feng shui, here's my vibes:
> mag-ingat kina (5), (9) at (22), esp (22)
> bb. might cast their bet on history with (11) who's mom was miss u rep in 1975; and (15) who's elder sister was miss world rep in 2002
> kung puwera politics as usual, (3), (12) and (22) might just turn out to be the big winners of the night

Based on photos from the Press Presentation:

-#13 Sandra Inez Seifert - by a mile
-#5 Diana Arevalo - surprised me with her well proportioned body
-#6 Bianca Paz - toned and buffed
-#9 April Love Jordan - very long legged
-#10 Priscilla Navidad - lean mean machine
-#12 Jaysel Arrozal - Latina body form

2007 Best in Swimsuit winner Abbygale Cruz pales today in comparison to her 2007 form. That is my humble opinion and her fans can kill me for that.

#2 Carishiela Kuijper's form is unflattering. She may have that perfect and to di for universal face and model's swan neck but her body frame is not proportional as it registers in the photos.

#15 Bianca Manalo - too chubby and it shows. But I'm very optimistic that if she wins she will significantly be slim and cruvy as her sister Kate (also chubby when she won in 2002) did to prepare for Miss World.

Yes, lots of beautiful hopefuls but not one REALLY stands out. So far based on my observation, Sandra has the surest chance of grabbing a crown basically because of her total package appeal specially when I saw and heard her communicate during one of their guestings. Fierce competitors are Melody Gerbasch, Jaysel Arozal, Katrina Hahn, Diana Arevalo and Cheryl Oliveros among others. Wala pa rin yan sina Abby at Anne Umali, mga Luz Valdez pa rin mga yan :) I KNOW ONE WHEN I SEE ONE!

Subject: It's Inner Beauty That Really Counts

Well it's that time of the year again. After binging and indulging one's self during the holidays, it is time again to shift our attentions by appreciating beauty - in its truest sense of the word.

So what is beauty of the human form to all of you? What are the physical features that we all find attractive in women and men for that matter? Do they denote one that is healthy and full of vigor? While it is natural to admire beautiful faces and haivng attractive proportional bodies, I also think it is important to keep a sense of proportion.

Dont get me wrong people. There is no harm in wanting to look nice and pretty. If this means to all of us getting plenty of sleep, eating nutritious food, exercising regularly and taking care of one's personal grooming, then so much the better. After all physical beauty really signifies good health. So it just seems appropriate to pursue beauty by adopting a healthy lifetyle and part of that is accomplished by looking good and in tip top shape at all times.

-Outer and Inner Beauty

But a healthy lifestyle can only achieve so much. Most of us fall far short of the ideal of physical beauty, even if we take good care of ourselves. Fortunately, there are many ways to be beautiful. Physical appearance is only part of the story.

I quote, Dr. Nick Bayliss, a Cambridge University psyschologist from his book, Learning From Wonderful Lives : 'I always thought how pleasing it would feel to be really beautiful - head turningly handsome - so the women whose admiration I sought would recoil slightly in open-mouthed awe, which is what I seemed to do when confronted by someone stunning.'

I suspect many of us have indulged in similar thoughts. But Dr. Baylis goes on to say that he eventually realized that his initial response to someone's physical beauty wore off predictably after a few occasions: '(After that)I seemed to crave only companionship and a refreshing stream of energy and bright ideas that never ran dry.'

Indeed, there is more to beauty than meets the eye. Outer beauty makes a hell of a first impression. But a deeper, inner beauty is required to sustain interest.

What do I really mean by inner beauty? Well, just as there are external features (unblemished skin, lustrous hair, toned muscles, etc) that we find attractive in others, so there are internal qualities that arouse our admiration : confidence, courage, kindness, intelligence and a sense of humour, to name a few.

When, as a young man, I first read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, I fell violently in love with the heroine, Elizabeth Bennett. This had nothing to do with the way she looked. What attracted me was her personality - an intoxicating blend of charm, wit, good humour and feistness that still captivates me to this day.

It is along these lines, that I would like to think that we'd be making a great mistake if we judge ourselves and others by the way we (they) look. As Dr. Baylis writes, 'Physical beauty is only a fraction of what a true beauty is all about. We know from the studies of many lifetimes that humans find a balance of loving and confidence, and kindness and humour, to be highly attractive.'

Unlike outer beauty, which is immediately apparent to the most casual observer in all of us, inner beauty can be fully appreciated only by those who get to know us well. It takes time for inner beauty to make an impact. But when it does, its effects are wide-reaching. Often, once we have come to appreciate someone's inner beauty, we begin to see them through new eyes.

Many of us will have had the experience of finding someone physically attractive, even though we know the are actually not that good looking. Somehow their personality, charm, goodness and pureness of heart, wit or energy seems to shine through.

And the wonderful thing about inner beauty is that it endures. Physical beauty cannot last. No amount of anti wrinkle cream or cosmetic surgery can shield one from the ravages of time. But there is no age limit on courage, kindness or sense of humour, even humility. Inner beauty can last a lifetime.

I rest my case to all of you avid Mabuhay USA readers.

Paolo Bediones is confirmed as this year's Bb. Pilipinas 2009 Coronation Night Host.

Bediones also hosted yesterday's Press Presentation of Bb. Pilipinas 2009 Candidates at the Solfitel Philippine Plaza Hotel.

Interesting scenario for all knowing that Paolo's girlfriend , another GMA Contract artist Abigail Lesley Cruz is among this year's 'favored' candidates.

Betsy Westendorp

The noted Spanish painter Betsy Westendorp de Brias is one of the Bb. Pilipinas 2009 Coronation Night judges.

Senora Westendorp who has lived on and off in Manila since 1951 is well known in art circles for her portraits, landscapes and painting of flora and fauna. She is also a close family friend of Jorge and Stella Araneta. This will be the second time that Westendorp have been invited to be a Bb. Pilipinas judge.

As I write this the judging panel has been finalized with some of them gracing the other day's Bb. Pilipinas Press Presentation for a first look see of the candidates.

I noticed that during the official press presentation the candidates paraded onstage not only in front of the media but what looks to me like a panel of judges.

Stella Araneta, Pitoy Moreno and Conchitina Bernardo of the BPCI Executive Committee were always in a huddle scrutinizing and sharing their feedbacks on the girls. There were a couple of other well dressed people who joined them in the long table in front of the stage. One of which I recognized as the GM of the solfitel Philippine Plaza Hotel, this year's Bb. Pilipinas official residence.

As customary , the pre judging is done after the press presentation where each of the girls are made to undergo a panel interview with the judges, Stella, Conchitina and Pitoy. This is also the part where the girls are made to do the dreaded quarter turns which we last saw done in public at the Bb 1988. I'm sure this year is no different from the past and would assume that with 13 days to go before the finals, the votes have already been tabulated and that the judges and BPCI Executive Committee should have chosen the girls who would go for the final competition.

I just hope this year's judges would be a potpourri of well heeld people who know what they are doing and that is to choose the deserving and ideal beauty queen who will fit the mold of the international pageants that they will be competing. I dont mind if some of the judges are foreign ambassadors or Bb pageant sponsor executives even showbusiness stars as long as they what they are looking for. It would help if BPCI and the show;s co producers, GMA 7 would invite celebrity names in the fashion and beauty business. Names that come in my mind are the Espino brothers, Joey and Audie who run the Cal Varrie Mnodelling Agency in Manila, fashion designers Rajo Laurel etc and accomplished beauty stylists Jeanne Eepperson, Liz Uy etc. At least these people know what's currently in and out in the world arena of fashion and beauty. Their expertise in this field would be a big plus factor in the delibreations to choose the right and deserving winners.

BPCI and the Bb. Pilipinas pageant, their sponsors this year started their pageant season on the right foot. We can all agree with that. Everyone is unanimous in saying that this year's batch is the best in a long time. Let's not waste this good harvest of beauty queen wannabes by choosing the wrong winners whol will not fit in the beauty mold of the pageants they will be competing. Right beginnings should have right and bright endings. Judges and BPCI do it right this time. We've waited long enough for our next Miss Universe and Miss International and our first Miss World.

Watched the Bb. Pilipinas 2009 candidates Family Feud Philippines guesting on GMA 7 the other night.

Richard Gomez asks the question "Anong insekto takot ang tao?" (Which insect scares humans?). One of the guest Bb. Pilipinas answered, "Daga" (Mouse). Another re classification of the animal species I hope not.

Later it was another Bb. Pilipinas' beauty's turn to answer a question. The question was "Anong bagay ang umiikot sa bahay?" (What object spins in the house?). The beauty non chalantly answers, "Tubig" (Water). Hmmm......Maybe she meant the water spinning in the laundry machine. Hard to decide on that one. LOL!

If there is any indication how the interview portion will turn out on Coronation Night this March 7th, then I would have to definitely tune in and myabe get my annual good stomach churning chuckle.

Good luck to all Bb. beauties.
