What do you think about Boy Abunda's interview with the 23 year old lady from Masbate? Does she needs to refine herself even more? ;) All we know is the Kagandahang Flores team would help her a lot and of course BPCI as well with the hopes of capturing the Philippines its 5th Miss International Crown.

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.
