By now, you guys already know who the winners of Bb. Pilipinas 2014 are. We’re proud to say that our predictions, as contained in this post, were right on 100%! The sad exception was Pia Wurtzbach who was in the semi-finals but did not place this year. However, if it’s any consolation, Mary Jean Lastimosa – this year’s Bb. Pilipinas Universe – won on her third try in the pageant.
Here’s an original photo I took of Mary Jean (middle) and the whole court of beauties after the winners were announced.A lot of people were saying this year’s contestants were really gorgeous. We agree: they’re getting better every year!
Note: aside from knowing how to play the violin, MJ Lastimosa has a 21-inch waist! 🙂

Anyway, it was my first time to see a Miss Universe in real life. I was this close to Gabriela Isler. At least she looked human because I saw a lot of freckles on her neckline. hehe.

Loved the fine details on the gowns of Venus and Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2011 Shamcey Supsup who acted as pageant moderators. (the hosts this year were Anne Curtis and Xian Lim)
Elegant stage set-up at the Smart Araneta Coliseum served as a fitting backdrop for the swimsuit and evening gown competitions
For me, nothing beats watching Binibining Pilipinas live, especially in the Philippines where national beauty pageants are treated with the same importance as a Manny Pacquiao fight. People come in droves to support and cheer for their fave contestants, & they’re big enough to fill a humongous venue like Araneta Coliseum.
The gays come dressed to the nines, fully made up and in sometimes in costumes!
My pageant buddy Ojie and I usually have dinner before the glittery ceremony. This year we ate at Sumo Sam Gatewall Mall. Thanks for the Japanese food treat Ojie! 🙂
Afterwards, we head to the gate. It pays to be early because there are lots of former beauty queens at the lobby.
