Bb. Pilipinas Hopefuls The Second Time Around

Rose Ann Aguilar
Binibining Pilipinas 2012 Candidate No. 5

Bb. Pilipinas 2010 semifinalist with the hopes of being able to get a crown this year. (Pretty bet) :)

Patricia Lae Ejercitado
Binibining Pilipinas 2012 Candidate No. 7

Bb. Pilipinas 2010 candidate, eventually bowing out that year to Krista Kleiner (BBP International), Czarina Gatbonton (BBP World) and Venus Raj (Miss Philippines Universe). She is probably a frontrunner this year, others see her as the next Miss Universe Philippines.

Nicole Schmitz
Binibining Pilipinas 2012 Candidate No. 8

A Top 13 finalist during the Bb. Pilipinas 2007 contest (She was then 18 years old), the 23-year old Fil-Aussie beauty is back to prove that she's a beauty queen material.

Mary Jean Lastimosa
Binibining Pilipinas 2012 Candidate No. 9

2nd Runner Up of last year's Binibining Pilipinas, MJ (along with Janine Tugonon) went out this year to prove their chances once more. MJ is one pageant frontrunner who could contend for the title come April 15.

Janine Mari Tugonon
Binibining Pilipinas 2012 Candidate No. 18

1st Runner Up of last year's Binibining Pilipinas, still one of the frontrunners, simple beauty but may be elegant to the international scene.

Roxanne Tadique
Binibining Pilipinas 2012 Candidate No. 20

A Binibining Pilipinas 2008 candidate where she was Manila Bulletin's Readers Choice, the 25 year old beauty wants to try her luck once more in Binibining Pilipinas 2012.
