Top picks for Binibining Pilipinas 2018 emerge in pageant forums

Miss World Philippines 2016 Catriona Gray is ahead of the competition as a fan favorite to win Binibining Pilipinas 2018.

 

WHO'S HOT? | #BbPilipinas2018 Third Hot Picks Nearly a month left before the grand coronation night, and the battle fot the Bb Pilipinas 2018 crowns is becoming tighter! Most of the ladies are finally stepping up their game, but none of them comes close to Binibini 20 Catriona Gray, who occupies the top spot in our Bb Pilipinas Hot Picks for the third consecutive time. Catriona is simply a cut above the rest. No amount of vilification can put this woman down. She's the complete package: she can walk, talk, and sing! She's has the heart and the dedication, too. BPCI and Stella Araneta should not make the same mistake as Julia Morley in wasting this super beauty. Binibini 23 Ena Velasco jumps to second place. Ena has been slowly building momentum, and who knows she might become the finals night's biggest surprise. She has the impressive academic background that former Bb Pilipinas queens have. Ena, however, needs to veer away from the pageant patty look and serve some natural beauty. Ditch the heavy make-up! Up one notch is Binibini 1 Vickie Rushton, who remains as one of the fan favorites. We think her doll-like features are best suited for the Miss International pageant. 1 #Binibini20 Catriona Gray 2 #Binibini23 Ena Velasco 3 #Binibini1 Vickie Marie Milagrosa Rushton 4 #Binibini26 Wynonah Buot 5 #Binibini19 Michele Gumabao 6 #Binibini32 Eva Patalinjug 7 #Binibini11 Aya Abesamis 8 #Binibini17 Ma Ahtisa Manalo 9 #Binibini6 Janice Roman 10 #Binibini8 Shane Quintana Tormes 11 #Binibini38 Karen Gallman 12 #Binibini30 Sarah Margarette Joson 13 #Binibini31 Jehza Huelar 14 #Binibini37 Patrizia Garcia 15 #Binibini35 Sandra Lemonon 16 #Binibini14 Samantha Bernardo #MissUniverse #MissInternational #MissSupranational #MissosologyBig5

Pageant forums Missosology Philippines and Sashes&Scripts both predict that Catriona is poised to represent the country in the Miss Universe pageant.

"She's the complete package: she can walk, talk, and sing! She's has the heart and the dedication, too," Missosology Philippines shared on their Instagram account.

Jesson Capuchino of Sashes&Scripts, however, didn't rule out surprises. "She (Catriona) cannot be complacent though because the game might still throw a left hook from out of nowhere," he wrote in his blog.

Beauty from Bacolod, Dr. Ena Velasco, is on both lists with Sashes&Scripts placing her at 5th and Missosology predicting that she might be crowned Miss International Philippines.

According to Missosology Philippines, "Ena has been slowly building momentum, and who knows she might become the finals night's biggest surprise. She has the impressive academic background that former Bb Pilipinas queens have."

Their advice? "Ditch the heavy make-up" and serve some natural beauty.

Another favorite for both forums is Vickie Marie Rushton, formerly Mutya ng Pilipinas 2011. Sashes&Scripts predicts that it will be Vickie who will win the Miss International Philippines crown. "You just can’t deny that gorgeous face," Capuchino wrote.

Missosology Philippines' prediction concurred, though they ranked her third. "We think her doll-like features are best suited for the Miss International pageant."

Volleyball star Michelle Gumabao is part of the hot picks, but in the lower spectrum at 5th for Missosology Philippines and 6th for Sashes&Scripts.

Capuchino gave her credit for having "presence of mind" when the dogs she had brought with her for the talent competition didn't cooperate.
