- This year is really the most competitive Bb. Pilipinas since 1994 - Charlene Gonza;es' batch imho. It really pours when it rains. Some years you can barely count with your one hand the outstnading Bbs (eg 1997, 2002) but this year, there are a lot of good quality girls to choose from the roster. Break a leg to all of the girls!

- Definitely an outstnading batch. Hopefully it's going to be a good harvest of winners too - winners that will go on to win international titles for our country. My personal faves so far (in random order) #13, #15, #6, #17, #20, #22, #19 and to a certain degree #3, #10 and #11. The best to all this year's girls!
