When in Manila and you want to see some of the most beautiful ladies in the country, you should definitely catch Binibining Pilipinas!  Binibining Pilipinas is the most prestigious annual beauty pageant that selects two representatives from the Philippines to compete in two of the biggest international pageants: Miss Universe and Miss International. 

Just a few days ago, 50 of the most beautiful ladies jazz up the runway at the big dome.   And even before the fashion show had started, I was surrounded already with such pretty ladies.  One beauty queen was just seated a few feet away from me.  I’m not sure if you know her.  She’s just the Venus Raj, crowned as the Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2010.   😛

I thought this Bb. Pilipinas 2013 fashion show would showcase the candidates in their swimsuits and long gowns.  But no.  This fashion show showed way more than that.  It was creatively directed featuring masterpieces of national artists in the country.  

The Binibining Pilipinas 2013 fashion show started with the tall, slender ladies walking perkily wearing their stylish casual outfits.

The Binibining Pilipinas 2013 candidates were wearing what a normal Filipina would  wear when in Manila.  Skinny jeans, coloful tees and fashion accessories are quite a staple in a woman’s closet.

This girl is so pretty! ( I forgot what number this candidate is.)  I think one way to truly see if a candidate is beautiful (externally anyway) is to strip down all the glitter on whatever she wears.  With only a nude colored top and a skinny jeans, this girl is definitely a beauty queen in the making!

 This is Ms. Janine Tugonon, 23 years old, who holds the Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2012 title.  A Filipina beauty queen definitely has both beauty and brains.  Remember how Janine answered the Miss Universe question that landed her to 1st runner up?  Simply amazing.
