Falcon native Alyz Henrich was crowned the new Miss Earth at the Versailles Palace in the Philippines last December 7. Henrich was touted to be the one to beat from the onset of the competition while Katia Wagner of Austria, Punika  Kulsoontornrut, Catharina Choi of Korea were hailed as her elemental queens (Air, Water and Fire repectively.)

Meanwhile, local bet Angelee delos Reyes may have been deprived of a crown but she fought gracefully and I really thought that she’s the biggest threat to Alyz. She was amazing nonetheless and making it into the top 8 is a great feat already with over 88 girls competing.

The win of Venezuela signify a double victory for the pageant powerhouse as Gabriela Isler also won the Miss Universe title this year.

I have a good feeling about Punika, I think if an Asian could win this (other than Angelee) – it could very well be Miss Thailand.

Wow. This blonde reminds me so much of Tereza (Miss Earth 2012.) I won’t mind her winning it all!

Miss Earth 2013 Evening Gown Competition Winners

Posted on December 2, 2013 | Leave a comment
Gold - Alyz Henrich of Venezuela

Gold – Alyz Henrich of Venezuela

Deemed as one of the frontrunners this edition, Alyz could very well give Venezuela a back to back Big Four crowning this year after Gabriela Isler clinched the Miss Universe title last month and we’re not even through with Miss International.

Sliver - Shahi Thakuri of Nepal

After Nepal’s strong showing during the Miss World in September this year, they are now fielding this beautiful girl with just the right curves and charisma to clinch a title for her country.

Bronze - Angelee Delos Reyes of the Philippines

Created by Hanz Coquilla, Angelee carried this gown like a queen! It’s very similar to what she wore during the national pageant and I’m hoping that she’d wear a different one come finals night.

Miss Earth 2013 Best In National Costumes By Continents

Posted on December 2, 2013 | Leave a comment

Miss Earth like the Miss World also implements point system in determining the girls who will be advancing to the semis. But unlike Miss World, Miss Earth includes the national costume competition where the main criteria is to use earth friendly materials in creating their costume which I think is pretty commendable. Here are the winners from this event!

This is just genius!

This is just genius!

Here’s our Miss Earth 2013 bet Angelee Claudette delos Reyes showing off her National Costume inspired by the warrior princess Urduja from the province of Pangasinan.

Look at those details! Just amazing!

Look at those details! Just amazing!

The Binibining Pilipinas Organization should atleast get an idea from this one especially when you’re fielding someone to an international pageant. Like always, my lament is that why they can’t produce something with the same quality? Kudos to the designer behind this! What a creativity! Goodluck Angelee!

Ali Forbes And Gil Wagas Keeps The Philippines’ Winning Streak In The World Of Pageantry!

Posted on November 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

They may have not won the crown but they surely showed the world that indeed, the Philippines is a powerhouse when it comes to beauty pageants.

Last Tuesday November 19, Ali Forbes was hailed 4th over all during the first staging of Miss Grand International in Bangkok, Thailand with Puerto Rico winning the crown. Ali was a hot favorite at the duration of the pageant and she didn’t disappoint at all thus continuing the lucky streak of the Philippines this year in the world of international pageants.

While last night, November 22 our representative Gil Wagas placed 5th behind the winner Mr. Venezuela at the conclusion of the Mister International 2013 in Indonesia. I’m doubly proud of Gil because he used to be a player of my school basketball team 🙂 I’m so damn proud of this guy!

Miss Venezuela Gabriela Isler is the winner of Miss Universe 2013!

Posted on November 10, 2013 | Leave a comment

Miss Universe 2013 VenezuelaJust three years after the historic win of Stefania Fernandez crowned then by her fellow Venezuelan Dayana Mendoza, the pageant powerhouse yet again proved that they are the leading country when it comes to sending top notch delegates with Gabriela Isler clinching the 7th Miss Universe crown for Venezuela!

Isler

Spain’s Patricia Yurena Rodriguez was adjudged 2nd while Constanza Baez of Ecuador was 3rd over all. Philippines’ bet Ariella Arida was 4th with Brazil’s Jakelyne Oliveira completing the Top 5!

The order of announcement during the pageant:
Top 16
1. Costa Rica
2. Ukraine
3. China
4. Ecuador
5. Great Britain
6. Indonesia
7. Venezuela
8. Dominican Republic
9. Puerto Rico
10. Spain
11. USA
12. Nicaragua
13. Switzerland
14. India
15. Brazil
16. Philippines

Top 10
1. Spain
2. Philippines
3. Great Britain
4. India

For me, tonight’s a reminiscent of Shamcey’s stint in Brazil where she placed 4th behind Brazil, Ukraine and the eventual winner Angola. Everyone but Shamcey used an interpreter. It was still a good run though since Ara was able to continue PH’s top 5 streak!

My Top 16 Predictions For Miss Universe 2013

Posted on November 8, 2013 | Leave a comment

Miss Universe 2013 - Philippines

Heya guys! I just want to show you my predictions on how the Top 16 will look like on Saturday night at the Crocus City Hall during the culmination of the 2013 Miss Universe pageant. Don’t get me wrong though, I’ve already presented my Top 15 (based on their preliminary performances) but factoring everything, things would definitely change a bit in my opinion. So here is my prediction for the magic 15 plus the people’s choice!

MU2013

MISS UNIVERSE 2013: Philippines – Ariella Arida
1st Runner-up: Ukraine – Olga Storozhenko
2nd Runner-up: Russia – Elmira Abdrazakova
3rd Runner-up: Brazil – Jakelyne Oliveira
4th Runner-up:Spain – Patricia Yurena Rodriguez

TOP 10
6. Israel – Titi Ayanaw
7. Puerto Rico – Monic Perez
8. France – Hinarani de Longeaux
9. Venezuela – Gabriela Isler
10. Czech Republic – Gabriela Kratochvilova

TOP 15
11. Nicaragua – Nastassja Bolivar
12. Croatia – Melita Fabecic
13. Poland – Paulina Krupinska
14. Turkey – Berrin Keklikler
15. USA – Erin Brady

16. Azerbaijan – Aysel Manafova

(I’d like to think that either PR, PHILIPPINES or VENEZUELA will be getting the People’s Choice votes so an additional Trump Pick will come into play with debuting nation Azerbaijan as its receiver)
