Rachel Louise Peters in Miss Universe 2017

Malapit na malapit na at nag-uuminit na ang mga fans para sa Miss Universe 2017. Excited na ang lahat at wala nang mapagsidlan ang nag-uumapaw nilang pananabik. Bakit ka nyo? Well..... Pansinin nyo ang ating kandidata. Palaban na palaban. Winner na winner ang vibes. Sa mga naging recent candidates natin sa patimpalak pagandahang ito, ang nag-iisang Miss Universe, siya na ang pinakahanda.

Yan ay larawang kuha nang sumali siya sa National Costume Competition na ginanap sa Planet Holywood ng Las Vegas. Ang inspirasyon ng kanyang pambansang kasuotan ay ang Mahiwagang ibon na Sarimanok, na isang simbolo ng magandang kapalaran sa katimugan ng Pilipinas.

Sari-saring reaksyon ang nakuha mula sa mga netizens hinggil sa kakaibang kasuotang ito. Sa unang pagkakataon, hindi tradisyonal na kasuotan ang inirampa ni Miss Philippines sa Miss Universe. Kadalasang Filipiniana ang sinusuot ng ating mga kandidata sa patimpalak na ito.

Sa kasuotang ito ay nabigyang pansin ang mahahabang biyas ni Rachel Peters. Ang mga nakaiinggit niyang long legs ang itunuturing niyang kanyang best asset. Litaw na litaw din ang magandang hubog ng kanyang katawan. Ang kulay ginto ay bumagay din sa lokasyon ng kompetisyon, ang Las vegas.

Mahusay itong nairampa ni Bb. Rachel Peters. Umani sya ng malalakas na hiyawan mula sa mga manonood. Itinuring syang isa sa mga best performers para sa patimpalak na ito ng iba't ibang pageant experts.

Ito si rachel kasama ng ibang delegada para sa Miss Universe National Costume Competition.

Makalipas ang ilang araw ay ginanap naman ang preliminary competition ng patimpalak. Umani na naman ng kaliwa't kanang papuri ang ating kandidata. Nakatataba ng puso at nakaka-proud na ang ating pambato ay talagang bigay todo sa kanyang performances.

Sa swimsuit competition, na tiyak ng lahat na mapagtatagumpayan niya ay humataw siya at unang ipinamalas ang kanyang pinaghandaang infinity walk.

Napa-WOW ang mga manonood at nalaglag ang mga panga nang lumabas sa entablado ang ating binibini. Kitang kita naman ang magandang hubog ng kanyang katawan, bunga ng kanyang paggiging mahilig sa sports. si Rachel ay isang surfer, kung kaya't toned ang kanyang katawan. Hindi yan hinubog ng gym. Halata namang active lifestyle ang humubog sa kanyang katawan na hindi mapaparisan ng pagbubuhat sa gym.

Hataw din ang kanyang pagrampa. Sakto lang at hindi sobra. Ito ang obserbasyon ng marami. Ang bawa't kembot ng baywang at pagkumpas ng kamay ay tamang tama ang timpla. Pati ang pag-ikot at pagtigil upang mag-pose ay Pak na Pak, ika nga.

As usual, hiyawan at tilian ang mga tagahanga ni Miss Philippines. Masigabo at dumadagundong ang paghanga ng mga fans. Makikitaan naman ng dagdag na kompiyansa ang ating kandidata.

Bukod sa swimsuit, nagpasiklaban din ang mga kandidata sa Evening gown. Rumampa ang ating pambato suot ang isang gown na dinisenyo ni Val Taguba. Isa itong gold na column gown na may slit sa kanang hita.

Hubog na hubog ito sa katawan ni Rachel. Hapit na hapit at naipamalas nang husto ang magandang hugis ng kanyang katawan. Ang slit sa kanang hita ang pinakahighlight nito. Kita ang long legs na syang asset ng ating binibini.

Bukod sa pagka-sexy ay napakaeleganteng tignan ni Rachel sa kanyang kasuotang panggabi. Napaka-regal at queenly ng kanyang dating. Perfect din ang styling at nabigyang emphasis ang kanyang gandang Filipina. Mula sa kulay, cut at style, perfect na perfect.

Sa darating na Lunes, November 27 ang finals ng Miss Universe 2017. Handang handa na ang ating kampeon. In best fighting form, hindi lamang sa swimsuit at gown palaban ang ating kandidata, mahusay din sya sa pakikipagtalastasan. Kung kaya't inaasahan ding mapagtatagumpayan nya ang Q and A portion, na syang pagkukuhanan ng malaking puntos sa pagpili ng bagong Miss Universe.

Good luck sa iyo Bb. Rachel Peters. Paghusayan mo ang iyong laban. Lagi mo sanang tandaan na ang sambayanang Pilipino ay kasa-kasama mo sa pakikipaglaban. Naririto kaming lahat na nagdarasal at sumusuporta sa iyo. Sa darating na Lunes, Nov. 27 (sa Pilipinas), dadagundong ang Las vegas sa lakas ng hiyawan ng iyong mga tagahanga. Kami dito sa Pilipinas ay mag-iingay din sa aming sari-sariling tahanan, opisina, basketball court, atbp.

Mabuhay ka Bb. Rachel Peters. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas. mabuhay ang gandang Filipina.

Mariel's journey to Miss International 2017

The finals of Miss International 2017 will happen next week, November 14, 2017. This is one of the most anticipated pageant every year. This Tokyo based pageant is one of the Big 3 in the international pageant arena. The Philippines along with Venezuela has won the most number of crown for this pageant. The Philippines has 6 and aiming for a seventh this year, with bet Maria Angelica De Leon.

Mariel, as we all know, is the daughter of Actors Christopher De Leon and Sandy Andolong. She joined Bb. Pilipinas twice before earning the chance to represent the Philippines in Miss International. She is an opera singer and is also now an actress. She is set to debut in the movie, Ang Panday, starring Coco Martin.

Mariel is naturally on the curvy side. She is big-framed as well. But her height compliments it well giving her a good proportioned body. She looks angelic yet sensual. She looks fragile yet oozes with tons of sex appeal. She has the Barbie doll look that MIO adores and at the same time possesses the Baywatch babe vavavoom sexiness. She is a Disney princess and an Anime bombshell combined.

She has a good chance (a very strong one) in bringing home the crown this year. Though it may seem impossible since the Philippines is the current title holder (Kylie Versoza). A back-to-back has not happened in the history of Miss International. This makes Mariel's quest for the crown  a lot more difficult that her competitors.

Here are some pictures of her, side by side with some of the favorites to win.

With Miss Venezuela, our strongest rival for the most number of crown.

With Miss Indonesia, who is also very serious in winning the crown.

With Miss Poland, a heavy favorite to win the crown.

Looking at the pictures above, I am confident that Mariel will deliver. She has all the goods Miss International wants. She definitely passed the looks department. In addition, she articulates well. She is a good communicator. Recently The pageant has been focusing on ladies who speaks well, as the winner will act as the official ambassador/spokesperson of the MIO. 

The best of luck Mariel. May the stars align in your favor come finals night. Do your best!!! We shall be rallying behind you. Together let us blew the roof of Tokyo Dome off.

Can't wait to see you wearing the Mikimoto crown with the Miss International cape.


     

Rachel Peters for Miss Universe

The pageant season is on a roll. Week after week, pageants are held. The most anticipated one is, of course, the Miss Universe. This year, the expected number of participants is expected to be at its highest. Confirmed contestants already exceeds 90.

This year, our country's bet is Rachel Peters. She is 25 years old and is an entrepreneur . She likes to surf and is a certified beach bum. She is also a dog lover.  

 
Among our Binibini bets, she has one of the best body. She is also tall with a height of 5'10". Her toned body and long legs are her best weapon.

She is half Filipina and Half British. She has never been to UK but has stayed in Thailand during her school days. She returned to the Philippines after schooling and has never left since. She stays in CamSur and owns a cafe by the beach in Siargao.

Her boyfriend is CamSur Governor Migs Villafuerte, who is very supportive of her Miss Universe quest. He trains Rachel with Q and A and also helps with her styling.

Rachel has now perfected her Miss Universe walk which she labeled as the infinity walk. Her training is supervised by the Kagandahang Flores (KF) camp. For the Miss Universe competition, she shall be wearing Val Taguba's creations for evening gown and national costume.

Her national costume is said to be handmade and specially crafted from Mindanao. The inspiration of her costume is the mythical sarimanok. It will be in monotonic gold color, body hugging and flamboyant enough for Las Vegas, this year's pageant venue. 

Her evening gown, on the other hand, will also be body fitting, showing Rachel's perfect curves. It is also expected to have high slits as Rachel is fond of showing off her legs. Fans are also speculating that she will wear separate gowns for the preliminary competition and the finals night.

I have very high hopes and expectations for Rachel. In recent years, I think she is our most prepared candidate. The look, personality, background, etc. She is just perfect. In every pictures and videos of her, she looks Miss Universe.She has got the same vibes as Paulina Vega had in 2014. The competition has not even started but you can clearly see that she is the one. 

The best of luck Rachel!!! May you bring home the Miss Universe crown. Do your best. The whole Philippines and all Filipinos around the world will be rallying behind you. We are all together in this journey.

 

Back to back for the Philippines

What a surprising treat we got this weekend November 4 and 5, 2017. Our bets for Miss Earth 2017 and Reina Hispano Americana 2017 both won their respective pageant in less than 12 hours. As a bonus, we also won 1st runner up positions in Miss Globe and Miss Lumiere International earlier on November 4.

The 1st good news came from Albania, where the Miss Globe was held. Indeed a satisfying victory for Nelda, representing the Philippines. After Elizabeth Clenci's 2nd runner up finish in MGI, Nelda's second place finish is indeed a good cause for celebration.

Well done Nelda. Good job BPCI and KF team.

 

A few hours later, another good news starts spreading. Another Filipina scored a victory. This time its Sammie Anne Legaspi, A BPCI alumna. She also placed second in Miss Lumiere International World 2017. It maybe a pageant we have never heard of, but hey, a win is a win. Good job Sammie.

As evening came, Another Filipina made a loud noise, and it was the loudest of them all. Karen Ibasco won Miss Earth 2017. She is the 4th Filipina to win the coveted title. The 3rd Filipina to win in a span of 4 years.

2014 Jamie Herell
2015 Angelia Ong
2017 Karen Ibasco

Indeed, a show of prowess for Filipina beauties.

As if the jubilation was not yet enough, The next day November 5, live from Bolivia, Teresita Ssen Marquez was adjudged Reina Hispano Americana 2017. A first for a Filipina in this Latina dominated pageant. Our favorite Winwyn aced all segments of the competition. Swimsuit, evening gown and Q and A. She may be the only one who does not speak Spanish but the content of her answer sealed the deal. An excerpt from her answer says: ... the Hispanic culture is not about language only. It is also about the love for God, love for country, love for history and culture and love for family... The Hispanic culture is meant to be celebrated."

Its indeed a successful day for the Philippines in the world of pageantry. 4 wins in 24 hours.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!!!
