Since I love watching a few Next Top Model series (esp Australia, the US and Asia), I thought of posting The Philippines’ very own version of the hit reality modeling competition. The first Philippines’ Next Top Model first aired in 2007 broadcasted by the now defunct RPN 9. It was hosted by Ruffa Guttierez and the judges includes Wilma Doesn’t, Pauline Sauco-Juan, Robby Carmona, Vince Uy and Xander Angeles. The winner of this cycle “won” a modeling representation with Starz People Hong Kong, an editorial fashion spread in Preview Magazine, US$10,000 c/o Mane and TailShampoo, a P150,000 modeling contract with SAGA Events, a one-year local endorsement campaign from L’Oreal Paris, one-year complimentary treatments from Marie France and Facial Care Center and a south sea pearl necklace from Jewelmer, and the title “Jewelmer’s Amabassador to the World.” – that’s a whole lot of prize to be honest! Of course, we already know the winner of this so far “only” cycle of Philippines’ Next Top Model but won’t it be great to take a glimpse again of the photo shoots our own version had? First, I present to you the name of the 14 finalists.

Shanali finally landing the TOP SPOT!
Is this the start of Shanali domination? Like what I’ve said about her last week’s amazing photo, she could very well be the winner of this season. Abbie and Melissa – you gotta bring it girls!
Abbie
Trailing not so far behind is this girl whom I think is Shanali’s biggest competition in all aspect. This girl is a PROPER model!
Dajana
Dajana’s still not giving me that WOW moment. girl’ step it up!
Duckie
Now, what a disappointment. This is not a good shot at all from Duckie. What went wrong boo?
Melissa
A lagging frontrunner. Melissa needs to catch up big time pre-final 4!
Shannon
This has to be Shannon’s best shot to date! #cameltoealert
Jade
Old Jade’s back. BORING.
Ashley
A well-deserved elimination. Oops!

A smile worh to be called first from Duckie!
Duckie’s one of my favorite girls in the competion and I’m happy that she finally won photo of the week!
Jade
She’s the client choice and is now the face of Colgate Optic White Ad Campaign! Good job Jade! Do I like this photo? Nah.
Dajana
Dajana’s looking great here and her smile doesn’t look force at all. I told you guys, she’s got something!
Shanali
Shanali reminds me of the exotic beauty of Sam back in Cycle 4. Shanali may very well be the winner of this cycle if she continue to produce amazing shot like this!
Shannon
This is just awkward. Shannon needs to go next. She has no variety.
Ashley
Bottom two with Shannon next week please!
Abbie
Abbie’s becoming a force in the competition. She’s slowly gunning her prowess to conquer this cycle! Slowly but surely…
Melissa
This isn’t a good shot of Melissa at all and do you guys think they’re sabotaging her photos? Methink so.
Madeline
I was never a fan of Madeline until this shot came out. Here, I see a beautiful commercial / high fashion model and I think it’s more decent than Shannon. Too little too late for her? Sadly, yes. So long Miss Madeline!
Here’s Megan Young answering questions from Rappler’s host G. Tongie and peeps from Twitter a couple of days after getting crowned Miss World Philippines 2013!

photo via Metro MagazineIt would be the biggest upset of the night if Megan will not get the crown of the Miss World Philippines this coming Sunday. Megan, touted to be the one with the complete package will compete against 24 other candidates for the chance to represent the country this September in the Miss World pageant to be held in Indonesia. Like what I mentioned on my first hot picks, if there’ll be no politics in choosing this year’s winner – hands down, Megan’s in it to win it!
photo via Metro MagazineThe caliber of Miss Young is similar to those candidates hailing from the Latin pageant powerhouse like Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Her communication skills is superb, she has an international appeal that would cater to anyone and her charm and confidence could win any judges’ approval.
My Final Picks to complete the Magic 5! (photos via OPMB)
2. Bianca Paz – I would give her the second best position because I feel that Bianca has been preparing for this ever since she won the runner-up position to Gwendolyn Ruais last 2011 during the first Miss World Philippines edition. It’s not a very lucky year for her because of Megan competing at the same time. It could’ve been a totally different ball game had she join last year or next year if she’s still eligible to do so.
3. Patricia Ejercitado – this pageant veteran and Janine Tugonon’s batchmate during the Binibining Pilipinas 2012 is an adorable belle that won’t also be ignored by the judges. She looks fresh and more confident this time around and I can definitely see her winning one of the runners-up posts! Good luck Pat!
4. Henna Kaizelle Nicole “KC” Cajandig has proven her rights to be in the pageant. She became a filler in this year’s Binibining Pilipinas Gold edition after initially not making it into the final 50 and because of the disqualification of Maria Theresa Fenger but she bounced back from it, gained the experience from Binibini and is now the new candidate #1. KC is pretty, fresh and very much adorable…the camera loves here so I’m betting that the judges would love her as well come pageant night.
5. Janicel Lubina – This girl has got the beauty, the body and the X Factor that any beauty pageant would appreciate. It’s just too bad that, IMO she’s still a wee bit young and may not have the wisdom to carry her to the next level. Beauty-wise, she could compete internationally but she would have to hone her communication skills more. This girl is made for Miss Universe so crowning her or even the rumors spreading of Pre-selecting her as this year’s winner would be a big mistake! Let the girl gain some experience from this and have her join the Miss Universe Philippines pageant in a year or two!

photos c/o Raymond Saldana.This uber-lovely and humble beauty queen from Isabela province is off to Belarus to compete for this year’s Miss Supranational 2013. Mutya is all set and ready to conquer Europe as she’s aiming to win the very first crown for the country in the said pageant. Last year, 2011 Bb. Pilipinas 1st runner up Elaine Kay Moll clinched the 4th position which is the highest placement of the Philippines in the four year history of Miss Supranational.
Mutya, touted as one of the pre-arrival favorites of pageant fans around the world will also be doing a first in Philippine pageantry – she’ll be using an interpreter. This I think is a good move from Binibining Pilipinas Organization because this could really help Mutya whose only Achilles Heel is speaking in English, other than that – the girl has everything set up for her to win the crown! Quoting Janine Tugonon’s answer last year, “It’s not about knowing how to speak a specific language…”
So here’s to Mutya’s journey to the first crown for the Philippines in Miss Supranational 2013 which will be held in Minsk, Belarus on September 6! Git’ it girl!

This was the episode where Taylah got disqualified. It was a similarly shocking call-outs as the two frontrunners in the competition (Duckie and Melissa) were at the bottom and could’ve been eliminated! #OMG!
Jade and Madeline got the first call out!
Well, I guess the makeover works in their favor! It’s not my favorite shot at all and I still find them a little boring but hey, judges knows best!
Ashley outshining Melissa?
This isn’t a good photo at all and Ashley’s rocking this one so hard that yes – she outshone Melissa here!
Shanali and Taylah
This isn’t good at all. They could’ve kick Shanali out as well.
Dajana And Shannon
This was a pretty decent shot and I thought Dajana’s working it big time here!
My favorite shot from this episode! Abbie and Duckie!
I totally love this shot and I thought it’s one of the best this season! Abbie’s growing on me and Duckie is continuously dominating the competition. It was a joke that Duckie’s at the bottom. Cmon’
