Bb. Pilipinas 1st RU 2012 Annalie Forbes is Miss Grand International Philippines 2013

No, it is not Samantha Purvor as what was earlier mentioned but it is Ali Forbes, Bb. Pilipinas 1st RU 2012 who is RP's bet to Miss Grand International.

2012 has been a great year for Bb. Pilipinas, with Janine Tugonon almost nailing it in the Miss Universe, Nicole Schmitz's Miss International semifinalist placement and Elaine Kay Moll's Miss Supranational 3rd Runner Up placement and what better way to end their reign than to help and enjoy at the same time with charity work, such as Operation Smile.

With Bb. Pilipinas Tourism Katrina Dimaranan (there is no news about MTQI 2012 taking place) and Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner Up Annalie Forbes, the reigning queens joined the Bb. Pilipinas 2013 candidates on one of its first activities, Operation Smile.

Look Back: Bb. Pilipinas 2012

While we carefully await who would be taking part in this year's pageant, News Bits Online gives you a look back to last year's Binibining Pilipinas which saw the crowning of Janine Tugonon as Miss Universe Philippines 2012, Nicole Schmitz as Binibining Pilipinas - International and Katrina Jayne Dimaranan as Binibining Pilipinas - Tourism. 

Also a part of the Top 5 are Elaine Kay Moll (Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner - Up) and Annalie Forbes (Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner Up) .

2011 winners pose with Madam Stella Marquez Araneta: Bb. Pilipinas International Dianne Necio, Miss Universe 2011 3rd Runner Up Shamcey Supsup and Binibining Pilipinas Tourism Isabella Manjon.

   

The Official Bb. Pilipinas 2012 contestants: Combination of repeaters (Roxanne Tadique, Nicole Schmitz, Rose Ann Aguilar, Patricia Ejercitado and 2011 runners-up Janine Tugonon and Mary Jean Lastimosa) and fresh faces.

Notable Finalists:

 

Bb. Pilipinas 2011 2nd Runner Up Mary Jean Lastimosa had a different faith, she went less than what she had in 2011, but still she was one of the front - runners, I do hope she competes one more time.

Angelee Claudett Delos Reyes may have not been one of the Top 5 binibinis, but she has managed to prove that she can compete even in an international contest. She was the PH bet to Supermodel International, where she was part of the Top 10.

  

The Crowning Moment:

Elaine Kay Moll: What's Next?

 

While Annalie Forbes is among those rumored to repeat for Bb. Pilipinas 2013, it isn't the same thing around for Bb. Pilipinas 2012 1st Runner Up turned Miss Supranational Philippines 2012 Elaine Kay Moll. You see, Elaine had the biggest chance of a lifetime that rarely happened in a Bb. Pilipinas Runner Up. She was appointed by BPCI to join Miss Supranational 2012, had the "queenly" send-off, was awarded as 3rd Runner-Up during the Miss Supranational 2012 contest (Ekaterina Buraya of Belarus won Miss Supranational 2012 contest) and was given a victory party/birthday bash when she came back. The experience definitely was more than what the 1st Runner Up expected, given  that it doesn't happen all the time (the last time you saw a runner-up or runners-up competing was when Michelle Reyes and Maricar Balagtas (1st and 2nd Runners-up respectively) were appointed by BPCI to different international competitions in 2001).

Now we are asking, what is next for this 20-ish something beauty queen? Will she skip 1 year at least before re-joining Bb. Pilipinas and pass the crown she's wearing now to the next BBP-Supranational (if that title should be awarded in the contest)? Will she be groomed by her mentor, Jonas Gaffud to banner this year's Aces and Queens? Or the Supranational experience changed her contract thus forbidding her to re-join under the BPCI banner,

 

That I (and I know you ask yourself)...

Annalie Forbes: Will you want her back for BBP 2013?

 

Repeaters, yes, people have a different outlook on repeaters, others support them, others despise them... but for the past 2 years, we've seen successes on Dianne Necio (BBP 2010 1st Runner Up turned BBP-International) and Janine Tugonon (BBP 2011 1st Runner Up turned BBP-Universe (Miss Universe 2012 1st Runner Up). Will it be the inspiration of BBP 2012 2nd Runner Up Annalie "Ali" Forbes to return and give Binibini one more try?

 

 

That we would find out as the last day of filing for applications would be on Tuesday, January 22.

Pageants Revisited: Bb. Pilipinas, Miss World Philippines and Miss Philippines Earth Winners 2012

Just like last year in this blog post, we give a rundown of the 2012 Winners and their respective placements in the their respective pageants. This year we also highlight achievements on the "male" pageants, proving that Filipinos, without any gender reference whatsoever are proven to excel with their beauty and brains in the International pageant scene. 

Bb. Pilipinas 2012 pageant logo

Following success year in year out in the most successful Philippine pageant seemed to be a daunting task, but somehow, BPCI has been there for a long time, sending out representatives to various international pageants. This year, BPCI is responsible for sending pageant representatives to Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Tourism Queen International and for the first time, Miss Supranational.

Bb. Pilipinas 2012 Winners: (From L-R) 2nd Runner Up Ali Forbes, Bb. Pilipinas International Nicole Schmitz, Miss Universe Philippines Janine Tugonon, Bb. Pilipinas Tourism Katrina Dimaranan, Miss Supranational Philippines (Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up) Elaine Kay Moll.
Schmitz competed in the 2012 Miss International pageant, Tugonon to compete on December 19 on the Miss Universe 2012 in Las Vegas while Dimaranan is the 2nd Miss Tourism Queen International representative of BPCI in China. Elaine Kay Moll, Bb. Pilipinas 2012 1st Runner Up was appointed as Miss Supranational Philippines.
 

JANINE MARI RAYMUNDO TUGONON
Miss Universe Philippines 2012 
Competition Date: December 19
Placement:

When she auditioned for Bb. Pilipinas 2012 along with Bb. Pilipinas 2011 2nd Runner Up Mary Jean Lastimosa, there was a mix of different reactions: WHY JOIN AGAIN AFTER A YEAR OF BEING A RUNNER-UP? I posted that question to myself again, I guess it was because of what Dianne Necio did during Bb. Pilipinas 2011 where she eventually went on to win the Bb. Pilipinas International crown.  Janine was 1st Runner Up to Shamcey Supsup in last year's edition of Binibining Pilipinas and with her training and improvements from her year as a runner-up and trainings with Aces and Queens' Jonas Gaffud, I guess it worked to her advantage.

Janine now aims to replicate the success of her predecessors, Venus Raj who was Miss Universe 2010 4th Runner Up and Shamcey Supsup who was Miss Universe 2011 3rd Runner Up. 

NICOLE SCHMITZ
Bb. Pilipinas International 2012 
Competition Date: October 21 in Japan
Placement: Miss International 2012 Top 15

When she joined Bb. Pilipinas 2007, she was already a semifinalist at her age 18 and with vast improvements during a 5 year span, including trainings from the camp of Rodgil Flores (who mentored the likes of Miss International 2005 Precious Lara Quigaman, Miss International 2008 SF Patricia Fernandez and Miss International 2011 SF Dianne Necio among others), she was one of the favorites to win the Bb. Pilipinas 2012 pageant. 

During the Miss International 2012 pageant in Okinawa, Japan, she managed to impress the crowd with her beauty and brains. She was a part of the Miss International Top 15, maintaining the record of the Philippines by placing on the Top 15 since 2008. The pageant was won by Ikumi Yoshimatsu, who succeeded Ecuador's Maria Fernanda Cornejo as Miss International 2012.

KATRINA JAYNE DIMARANAN
Bb. Pilipinas Tourism 
Competition Date: December 29 in China
Placement:

The last binibini who would be going out of the country to represent the Philippines in a pageant is Katrina Jayne Dimaranan. At 18, she has definitely dazzled pageant fans with her beauty and talent in the Bb. Pilipinas 2012 competition where she was crowned as Bb. Pilipinas Tourism. 

She is the country's representative to Miss Tourism Queen International, the second being sent by BPCI after Isabella Manjon for the right to succeed Kantapat Peeradachainarin as MTQI 2012 

ELAINE KAY MOLL 
Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up/ Miss Supranational Philippines
Competition: September 15 in Poland
Placement: 3rd Runner Up in the Miss Supranational 2012 pageant.

Being a runner-up of Binibining Pilipinas does not assure you a competition which is why when Madam Stella Araneta of BPCI appointed Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up Elaine Kay Moll as the Philippine representative to Miss Supranational 2012 in Poland, the 21 year old basketball player turned beauty queen was nervous of joining and competing with a Philippine sash, nevertheless, she managed to pull it off and flew to Poland.

She never had a mileage of campaigning through the Miss Internet award as the Miss Supranational contest ask voters to pay for their votes. I guess it was her height, beauty and the things she did in Poland which made her stand out and be awarded as 3rd Runner Up. I do not know the stipulations of her contract but if given a chance, I want to see her on the BBP 2014 edition. (I expect that she would be passing her crown next year).

Pageant Winners' Notes:

1. Janine Tugonon was the 1st Runner Up of Bb. Pilipinas 2011 
2. Elaine Kay Moll was a Top 12 Semifinalist in Miss World Philippines 2011
3. Nicole Schmitz was a Top 13 Semifinalist in Bb. Pilipinas 2007

 

The second edition of Miss World Philippines under Ms. Cory Quirino shown a lot of changes: network partners and prizes just to name a few to improve MWP 2012 after the success of Miss World Philippines 2011 Gwendoline Ruais who eventually was crowned Miss World 2011 1st Princess.

Miss World Philippines 2012 winners: April Love Jordan (3rd Princess), Mary Ann Ross Misa (1st Princess), Queenie Rehman (Miss World Philippines), Vanessa Amman (2nd Princess), Brenna Cassandra Gamboa (4th Princess)

  

QUEENIE REHMAN
Miss World Philippines 2012 
Competition Date: August 18
Placement: Miss World Top 15 Semifinalist

Winning MWP 2012 seemed to be a hands-down for Queenie Rehman but it was not easy going to the Miss World 2012 competition where her predecessor, Miss World Philippines 2011 Gwendoline Ruais was 1st Princess. She managed to put up a good fight with the following achievements:

She was Miss World Top 15 Semifinalist, Top 10 in the World Fashion Designer Dress Award, Top 47 in Top Model, Top 5 in Talent and Top 40 in Beach Fashion. It was a decent finish following Gwendoline's success. 

Pageant Winners' Notes:

1. Queenie Rehman was a Binibining Pilipinas 2011 Semifinalist, winning the Best in Swimsuit Award
2. Mary Ann Ross Misa was a Binibining Pilipinas 2010 Top 10 SF
3. Vanessa Amman was Miss Cebu 2011 2nd runner-up and won Miss Friendship,Miss Marco Polo, Best in Runway
4. April Love Jordan was Mutya ng Pilipinas 2006 2nd runner up, Miss Philippines Earth 2006 semifinalist and Bb. Pilipinas 2009 Top 10 semifinalist.
5. Brenna Cassandra Gamboa was Miss Philippines Earth 2011 finalist.

Miss Philippines Earth Official Logo

The 12th Edition of Miss Philippines Earth was held at Centerstage in Mall of Asia, Pasay City it was aligned with the 2012 declaration of the United Nations General Assembly as the "International Year of Sustainable Energy for All".

 Miss Philippines Earth 2012 court: Mary Candice Ramos (Miss Philippines Eco-Tourism), Samantha Purvor (Miss Philippines Water), Stephany Stefanowitz (Miss Philippines-Earth), Glennifer Perido (Miss Philippines- Air), Thoreen Halvorsen (Miss Philippines- Fire).




STEPHANY DIANNE STEFANOWITZ 
Miss Philippines Earth 2012
Competition: Miss Earth 2012
Date: November 24, 2012 
Placement: Miss Earth-Air 2012 (1st Runner Up)

Proving to make most of the second chance, Stephany Stefanowitz was a head-turner in Miss Philippines-Earth 2012 and is actually my bet to win the whole MPE 2012. However, with the pageant finals of Miss Earth 2012 held in the Philippines, some Filipinos were saying: "sash factor" worked again when she was crowned as Miss Earth Air, behind Czech Republic's Tereza Fajksova. She managed to make a good run in Miss Earth's Fast-Track Events and I think her efforts were able to push her through the finals.

Pageant Winners' Notes:

1. Stephany Stefanowitz represented Butuan City when she first joined Miss Philippines Earth in 2010 where she was a Runner-up.
2. Glennifer Perido and Samantha Purvor were candidates of Binibining Pilipinas 2011, Purvor was Miss Friendship while Perido was unplaced. The pageant was won by Shamcey Supsup (Miss Universe Philippines), Isabella Manjon (Bb. Pilipinas Tourism) and Dianne Necio (Bb. Pilipinas International)
3. Samantha Purvor also joined the Maiden Edition of Miss World Philippines 2011 where she was part of the Top 12. Gwendoline Ruais won the competition.

Pageant Watch: Nicole Schmitz and Ayelee Marie Dasalla

The last quarter of this year is still loaded with a lot of pageants where Philippines have selected their representatives this year. For the month of October, it is Nicole Schmitz and Ayelee Marie Dasalla taking the Philippine sash with them for the Miss International and Miss Humanity International 2012 pageants respectively.

Nicole Schmitz (Miss Philippines International 2012) is done with her send-off and she's now off to Okinawa, Japan. The 23 year old beauty queen is more than ready to attend the activities from October 1  to the finals date October 21 where Filipinos hope that Nicole can grab the 5th crown for the country (Philippines boast of 4 Miss International titleholders, Gemma Cruz Araneta, Aurora Pijuan, Melanie Marquez and Precious Lara Quigaman). She was previously interviewed and when asked what she would do if she won the crown, she said that she would be boarding the first plane back home to share the crown with her "kababayans".

The crown is currently held by Fernanda Cornejo of Ecuador.

She may not have gotten the YAY during the Binibining Pilipinas 2012 but she is still representing the Philippines to Barbados as Miss Humanity International Philippines 2012. Ayelee Marie Dasalla, a product of Bataan was chosen by John Dela Vega, national director in the Philippines to compete after he has fielded in one of her prized jewels in Czarina Gatbonton last year where the later was 2nd Runner Up in the premier edition.

The crown is held by Karabello Mokoalla of Lesotho. Pageant date is October 28.

Biggest Question of Pageant Fans: Can Elaine Kay Moll join Bb. Pilipinas again?

Elaine Kay Moll

Miss Supranational 3rd Runner Up

With the success of Elaine Kay Moll in Miss Supranational, pageant netizens were asking if Bb. Pilipinas would be renaming her title to Bb. Pilipinas Supranational barring her to join in the succeeding pageants or her title be maintained as 1st Runner Up to make her eligible for the Miss Universe Philippines crown either the next year or on 2014.

Anyway, anyhow, Elaine is still like 20ish and is still a long way to be able to compete in another pageant. The next Miss Supranational Philippines have big shoes to fill. :)

Binibinis in waiting: Moll, Dimaranan and Schmitz await for their international tit

I came across this cute photo of three of the 5 winners of the Bb. Pilipinas 2012 who would be donning the Philippine sash within the next 2 months.

(From Left to Right)

ELAINE KAY MOLL
Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up - Miss Supranational Philippines 2012

Now that the long wait is over on who would be representing the country for Miss Supranational's Finals on September 15, I guess we should just support Elaine, after all, she shouldn't have placed 4th if she doesn't have the IT factor, I hope that she could be the first Miss Supranational of the country.

KATRINA JAYNE DIMARANAN
Bb. Pilipinas Tourism - Miss Tourism Queen International Philippines 2012

Oh yes, the MTQI 2012 pageant is still in China and probably, how Queenierich Rehman would be treated during the Finals Night of Miss World should say how Kat would be treated. MTQI 2012 Finals is on September 28. I hope Kat can exceeed how Isabella placed last year. (Isabella Manjon was the first Bb. Pilipinas delegate in MTQI who was unplaced and took home the Miss Charity).

NICOLE SCHMITZ
Bb. Pilipinas International - Miss International Philippines 2012

Philippines has been doing well in MI for the past 4 years (Fernandez, Gersbach, Kleiner and Necio were all in the Top 15) and had won 4 MI titles (last was Precious Quigaman in 2005). Does Nicole feel the pressure of winning the Philippines 5th MI crown? Gut feel that she doesn't. I am thinking of the crown for her -- to a Runner-Up finish as the worst? Well, let's wait as 2011 Miss International Fernanda Cornejo relinquishes her crown in Okinawa, Japan on October 21.

Goodluck to all the Binibinis. :

Pageant Buzz: Moll for Supranational, Delos Reyes for Supermodel International... More Binibinis joining?

This week has been quite interesting for pageant netizens as there are more Binibinis joining international pageants this year.

First Buzz was ELAINE KAY MOLL, 1st Runner Up during the Bb. Pilipinas 2012 who was expected to represent the country in Miss Supranational 2012 in Sopot, Poland, now that it is official, Elaine may now be in the thick of things preparing things for the September finals.

Elaine is the 2nd representative of the Philippines. Last year, we had Lourenz Grace Remetillo as Ms. Supranational Philippines 2011.

Angelee Claudett Delos Reyes is Supermodel International Philippines bet for this year. After winning Slimmer's World pageant in 2011 and being a SF in Binibining Pilipinas 2012, She's now Philippines bet in an International pageant.

Some Pageant Experts are also saying that John Dela Vega's wards would be sent to Ms. Humanity International (just like Czarina Gatbonton), hoping for the best.

Tugonon, 22 was the 2011 Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up (won by Shamcey Supsup) and after a year, she won Miss Universe Philippines, while she has a fair share of haters and doubters, she would try her best to equal or exceed the expectations of her predecessors (Raj, 2010 and Supsup, 2011 both placed on the Top 5 of the Miss Universe pageant)

Nicole Schmitz

Bb. Pilipinas International

Representative to Miss International in Japan

Nicole Schmitz is probably one of pageant netizens favorite to win Miss International 2012, but this girl would not let pressures come across her to win the Philippines its 5th Miss International crown. 

Katrina Jane Dimaranan

Bb. Pilipinas Tourism

Delegate to Miss Tourism Queen International

Runners - up: Elaine Kay Moll (a successful crossover candidate who was in the 1st edition of Miss World Philippines (won by Gwendoline Ruais)) and Annalie Forbes, both entertaining that they would like to join again, but not next year.
