Herlene Budol's plate is full right now as she dedicatedly prepares for Binibining Pilipinas, especially now that she is part of its final 40 candidates this year.
Just like other aspiring beauty queens, she makes sure she's at her best from her outfits to her makeup looks.
Just today, April 26, the False Positive actress showed off her pageant smile in her latest photo on her Facebook page.
Herlene looked fresh-faced in her portrait where it evidently showed her slimmer face.
"Ganun daw dapat ngiti ng Beauty Queen dahil ang ngiti ay parang sakit na nakakahawa at nakaka goodvibes,” she wrote in the caption. "Ako nga pala si Binibining #8 - Nicole Budol a.k.a. Herlene Hipon at mag bibigay ng kasabihan 'Ang tamang sangkap sa tagumpay ay pagsisikap at patuloy na pagbangon sa pagkakamali."
Some say Herlene looked like Thai, manifesting the Bb. Pilipinas Grand International crown. The candidate who will win the Bb. Pilipinas Grand International title is the country's representative to the Miss Grand International, a beauty pageant franchise based in Thailand.
One Facebook user even likened Herlene to beauty queen-turned-TV host MJ Lastimosa.
Herlene's stunning photos proved that she's not a "Hipon Girl" anymore. Besides her beauty, check out her other qualities that make her pageant-ready in this feature:
