News Bits Online's Miss World Philippines 2013 List

While we at News Bits Online do not claim to be a pageant blog, we do have our fair share of choices for Philippine pageants and for tonight's coronation night at Solaire Resorts and Casino, we do have our list for Miss World Philippines 2013.

 

Our MWP 2013: Megan Lynne Young 

Jonas Gaffud's sole bet to Miss World Philippines 2013 (A&Q) is seen as everybody's choice for the crown. While we do not discount the fact that there are 24 other ladies, Megan has been doing activities related to the causes of Miss World and is tagged as the lady more than ready to capture the PH's first MW crown.

  

1st Princess: Ma. Paula Bianca Paz

There is already a vast improvement on Bianca's screening for MWP 2013 and she has known CQGQ since she joined the contest in 2011 where she was Miss World Philippines 3rd Princess. While we do not count her out for the crown, We believe that Megan will conquer it (or Bianca may spoil the fun!)

 

2nd Princess: Janicel Lubina

We put Janicel Lubina in the 2nd Princess spot mainly because our gut feel tells us that we want to see her in Miss Bikini International first and in Bb. Pilipinas 2014 next year. The former Miss Scuba Philippines is out to give Megan and Bianca a run for the crown.

3rd Princess: Patricia Ejercitado

It would be more than just a semifinal slot for Patricia Lae Ejercitado, whose experience span 2 editions of Bb. Pilipinas. Pat for us will be the more successful RL bet (the other is Ria Rabajante).

 

4th Princess: Vina Openiano

While we expected her to be a Mutya ng Pilipinas front-runner, Vina was able to reach the Top 10, we tabbed her in as the 4th Princess, she had what it takes to win the crown, it would just take triple the effort to win it.

Miss World Philippines 2013 to Crown a Miss World Delegate Last: Is it something to Watch Out For?

Ever since I started blogging about Miss World Philippines under Miss Cory Quirino, I can't help but be excited knowing that CQGQ wants to improve every year. But since the 2013 edition has been delayed (and we are the last country to select the delegate for Miss World), I just hope this is still to watch out.

A positive light to that is reigning MWP 2012 Queenie Rehman getting ready for MWP 2013 through a series of pictures she posted in her account. Also MWP 2013 has posted a deadline until June 30 for those who want to join the 2013 competition. 

Do you have a wishlist for MWP 2013? Are you amenable to MWP 2012 1st Princess Mary Ann Ross Misa joining again? That we have to see on days to come.
