The Miss World
Philippines 2012 list of candidates compared to last year’s edition is two
notches higher in terms of the quality of the girls that qualified. There were
quite a few faces that were seen during previous national pageants but there
were also quite a number of new faces that attract attention not only because
of the heights but because of real standout features. It would seem that this
year, the MWP is the pageant to look forward to in terms of the eminence of the
candidates. I just hope that they upped their ante for the pageant proceedings
as last years’ pageant had very awkward moments and it is simply a bore. Now
let us look at our preliminary picks for MWP:
X-FACTOR PERSONIFIED:
This describes Candidate Number 8 – Maham
Ahmed. This girl really stands out. From the second group of 5, she stood
out among the rest. With such a beautiful face and smile, she is simply
exceptional.
QUEENLY
DEMEANOR AND POISE: Rizzini
Alexis Gomez is Candidate Number 9 who is simply resplendent. It is such a
wonder why this girl did not qualify in this year’s Binibining Pilipinas. She
is MWP’s gain as she is now an official candidate. Despite Rizzini’s demeanor
however, her stylist should look into the best presentation for her because too
heavy make-up ruins her total look.
SIMPLE
BUT ALLURING: Candidate Number 10 is Larah Grace Lacap. She exudes simplicity but it is in this quality
that she attracts attention of the viewers. She looms as the dark horse in this
pageant.
SULTRY
AND SOPHISTICATED: Candidate Number 13, Mary Rose Misa evokes sophistication
and earthiness. This lady graced the other national pageant and had show a
great performance but managed only a semifinalist slot. With this new
packaging, will she be able to transform herself into a winner? My thoughts on
her? She should tone down her projection as Miss World seems to choose girls
with somewhat conservative leanings.
REFRESHING
AND CHARMING: Candidate Number 14 is Mariver Ocampo. Mariver is a breath of
fresh air. She has a very charming and beautiful face. Her charms command
attention and this makes her hold her ground even though she is next to a
formidable foe in the person of Mary Rose Misa.
SIMPLE
AND YET FASCINATING: Brenna
Gamboa is Candidate Number 16 carried the sash of the USA East Coast in the
Miss Philippines-Earth 2011 and ended only as a semi-finalist. Then she won and
represented the country in the Miss World University in Korea in the same year.
She followed her participation in the Miss World Supermodel in Fiji where she
ended as First Runner-up. This means that Brenna’s beauty is no fluke as she
can be very competitive in international pageants.
LOW-KEY
BUT NEVERTHELESS ENTHRALLING: Candidate Number 17
is April Love Jordan who is a
pageant veteran. Tucked in her belt is the Beauty of the World crown in which
she won when she participated in the Miss International Beauty and Model
Festival in China in 2009. While she carries an unassuming stance, this
candidate is a bet of almost everyone because she metamorphoses into a
beautiful swan when she is on the runway.
SERENE
AND YET VIBRANT: Candidate Number 19 is Marie Loraine Dione De Guzman. Loraine’s
countenance in the swimsuit segment during the presentation seems to indicate
that she is at par with the touted frontrunners. Her presentation in the gown
segment is truly indicative of energy and effervescence. She is a candidate to
watch out for.
ENDEARING
AND TRANSFORMED: Fer
Mary Baliquig is Candidate Number 21 and I was surprised to see her
beautiful metamorphosis. If she had been transformed into this beautiful swan
during her stint in the last Binibining Pilipinas, she should have been a
shoo-in for the Top 12. But this time it seems like Fer Mary pulled all her
stops and came out gorgeous and captivating. She is now a force to reckon with
this time.
STUNNING
AND REMARKABLE: Queenie
Rehman is Candidate Number 22. In her previous outing at the Binibining
Pilipinas, she is already a stand-out. She possesses a very queenly demeanor.
It is no surprise to see her with so much élan during the evening gown and
swimsuit presentation because she is literally a queen in the ramp. With such
an exotic face, good body and queenly demeanor, Queenie appears to be the
leader of the pack.
