THE BINIBINI 2012 GODDESSES

By Arden D. Bautista


Last March 25, 2012, the Goddesses went down from their enclaves and joined the mortals who were awed by their beauties. I for one was mesmerized by this phenomenon and let me enumerate them as they pass in front of me.
1. Karen GallmanShe is so beautiful that her face could launch a thousand ships and could mesmerize everyone along the parade route. However, her height seems to be her downfall. But I would say she is a strong bet for the Miss International crown.


2. Romelyn De CastroShe is so trim but despite the sparks she radiated, she was overwhelmed by the other candidates.


3. Nicole MarableYouthful and beautiful! This girl seemingly raw as seen through the expert eyes may surprise everyone if she inch her way to a semifinal slot and even a Top 5 slot. Although a novice by standards, she is enjoying the pageant activities immensely.


4. Jaine HidalgoThere is nothing so surprising with Jaine. She is what you see in pictures. This therefore zaps up the excitement that we are supposed to expect on seeing her.


5. Rose Ann Uy AguilarShe looks to be a very captivating beauty. With her charming smiles, one is easily attracted to her.


6. Maria Alicia Elena Ariosa – She is decidedly beautiful with her flowing hair during the parade. She is well-loved as she waved among the people in the parade route.


7. Patricia Lae EjercitadoShe is so enigmatic and yet she is full of splendor, glory and magnificence. She had a lot of fans who were equally mesmerized with her dusky beauty.


8. Nicole SchmitzIt felt like that she is a girl with radiant smile and beauty. Pictures of Nicole do not do her justice. She is however, much likeable in person. She should however be very careful because she seems to be going to the voluptuous side.


9. MJ LastimosaThis girl is charming and beautiful. Her body figure is really something to crow about. However, MJ should be very careful about her face. There were few eruptions and peeling that can be seen closely on her facial skin and these cannot be hidden by make-up.


10. Jill OrbinaShe is another girl who facial skin eruptions were noted during the parade. The girl slid 2 notches lower this time. She seemed so ill-at ease. Can these be stress and fatigue?


11. Marie PeterThis girl had the prima donna air. She is beautiful. That’s right but why is it that there seem to be a feeling that her smiles were put on. Just my feeling!


12. Ayelee DasallaI like this girl very much that’s why when she was taken in when Maxine Medina was disqualified, I was very happy. But during the parade, she lacks the sparkle to be noticed by the crowd. I really do not understand.


13. Katrina DimarananIs it just me that felt this? It seemed that Katrina tanned herself more. She seemed darker to me during the parade. With so much tan, her radiance was lost as compared to what I have seen during the fashion show although I saw the same stance from her.


14. Gina Joy HowellThis girl seemed to listen to advice. She is stepping up. She is exuding a certain kind of appeal now. She is not bland. She is showing some kind of fierceness now.


15. Elaine Kay MollElaine attracts attention because she is the tallest among the candidates but her personality does not excite me. She’s so bland and insipid.


16. Liezl AlcantaraShe is a very charming lady with endearing ways.


17. Ana Czarina BuenviajeShe is pretty but she did not create that much excitement.


18. Janine TugononShe looked very confident during the parade. She tried to be accommodating to the fans out there. Come to think of it, Janine is not that repulsive. But the problem is that she gets lost when with the other candidates. I mean she does not stand out. But what really disturbs me is the buzz among the pageant crowd that she is the anointed one and many are dismayed with such kind of news.


19. Roxane Joy JesalvaThis girl looks pretty. But I do not like her make-up. She looked older than her age.


20. Roxanne TadiqueThis girl should be Miss Photogenic. She looks good in pictures but she does not have the same radiance in person.


21. Giselle MunozJust another face in the crowd.


22. Meiji CruzShe is another face in the crowd like Giselle Munoz.


23. Goldy BaroaYou see what you see in pictures. She is a lot  worst personally.


24. Fer Mary BaliquigThis girl is an exotic species. She looks much better in person. She has this persona of a very likeable person.


25. Chloe ZanardiAt least she did not have the manly projections this time.


26. Angelee Delos ReyesShe knows how to project. She’s sweet oozing so much sensuality.


27. Golda SollerShe is full of charms and the swimsuit really hugs her body physique. She never runs out of smiles.


28. Marie Irisha ArcenasThis girl seems to have patented the open mouth projection. I just hope no flies would enter her mouth.


29. Analie Forbes - Why is it that she is so reserved? You see the smiles. You see the beauty. But they do not come shining through. What happened to her? She is back to square 1?


30. Sherlyn GonzalesI do not get the hype about this girl. She is pretty facially but she seems to project something else. I have not totally grasped what it was.


The truth is it is very difficult to pinpoint the eventual winner. With three titles to boot again, selecting the Top 3 is such an arduous task again for the judges. But I have this feeling that the top title would go to a morena beauty. This is just an impression. Why did I say so? Some of the candidates underwent artificial tanning just to look morena. And I just don’t find the reason for this. If you are the one, then you are the one. It is still three weeks before final night and a lot of developments can still happen.
