Here’s Janine posing for the camera wearing this yellow chiffon beaded gown. In all honesty, this gown isn’t working at all. The color does suit Janine’s skintone but the design is horrific. It looks dated and too heavy for her. I am hoping that she’d use a different evening gown come preliminaries and finals night just like what Venus and Shamcey did during their stints.

Here’s Miss Universe-Philippines 2012 killing this swimsuit shot at the on-going Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas. I’m awestruck upon seeing this photo because this is a totally different Janine from the national pageant. She’s got a rocking body and look at those bone structures! ‘girl better nail the Evening Gown shot easily because right now, she’s one of the biggest forces to reckon with!
Also, please do not forget to vote for her HERE. Read picture below for the mechanics.

Episode two had its fair share of surprising conclusions. The girls had a fashion show for their challenge where Trang emerged as the winner (FYI: Trang was part of Vietnam’s Next Top Model Cycle 2) . During the photo shoot the girls were divided into three groups for a posed off in a Prada shoot for Harper’s Bazaar (how’s that?) portraying virtual princesses. Monica of Thailand had to quit after receiving news that her father is sick. At the judging panel, Rachel Erasmus (India) fainted and had to be taken out of the room for medical treatment. Here are the three group photos from this episode – was it a well deserved First Call Out for the girl who got it? Who should’ve left the competition?
Group One: Filantropi, Kate, Helena and Monica
Group Two: Aastha, Trang, Sofia, Bei Si
Group Three: Jessica, Jee, Stephanie, Rachel and Melissa

I was not a big fan of 2011 Binibining Pilipinas first runner-up Janine Tugonon’s decision in joining the Binibining Pilipinas this year because I do not think that she was ready. If I’m being honest, I’d say that she’s not in good shape during the national pageant in April and I was a bit frustrated that she won the most important title of the evening. I was rooting for another candidate then and went home disappointed. ‘Lo and behold though, after seven months of rigorous training – Janine went from being a clapper to a possible winner in this year’s Miss Universe to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 19.
Janine’s beauty reminds me of Miss Universe 1999 first runner-up Miriam Quiambao and her mannerisms are that of Miss Universe 2011 third runner-up Shamcey Supsup which I think will be a lethal combination come next month.
Here are the latest glam shots of Janine showing her new curves and queenly aura! Is Janine destined to be our country’s third Miss Universe or will she be able to achieve the success of Venus and Shamcey placing in the top five from the last two edition of the pageant? All I can do is wish her good luck and offer my prayer that she may bring honor to our country! Mabuhay ka Janine!
