When in Manila and you want to see some of the most beautiful ladies in the country, you should definitely catch Binibining Pilipinas! Â 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.Â
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. Â But no. Â This fashion show showed way more than that. Â It was creatively directed featuring masterpieces of national artists in the country. Â
The Binibining Pilipinas 2013 fashion show started with the tall, slender ladies walking perkily wearing their stylish casual outfits. Â Â
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.) Â 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. Â 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.
