Independence Day Rockin' Freedom Party at the Araneta Center

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

OPM bands rule! They totally hit the spot whenever I get to hear them play a tune and sing a song that would normally blew my head off.

I kinda like it when the beat would somehow make my body move to the rhythm. It would start with some finger tapping, head going up and down, feet stomping to the ground, then all of the sudden, I see myself rocking to the magnetic beat. It feels like I'm totally free to do anything. To let my body follow in total freedom.

FREEDOM ROCKS! That’s why OPM bands Join The Club and Tanya Markova are rockin’ the night away on June 12 at The Araneta Center…for FREE! Yes, it’s FREE! We are giving you a FREE CONCERT on Independence Day!

Binibining Pilipinas 2013 Coronation Night Winners

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Congratulations to the five newest queens of the Binibining Pilipinas 2013 beauty pageant. You might have kept the world waiting for this day, but you five were definitely worth every second of the long yet thrilling wait.

The Binibining Pilipinas 2013 winners and recipients of special awards were finally named during the coronation night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last Sunday, April 14, 2013.

This event was very special for the Binibining Pilipinas pageant as it celebrates 50 years of beauty this year. The pageant has been able to produce 2 Miss Universe winners (Gloria Diaz in 1969 and Margie Moran in 1973) and 3 Miss International Winners (Aurora Pijuan in 1970, Melanie Marquez in 1979, and Precious Lara Quigaman in 2005) since its humble yet elegant beginnings way back in 1964. 

Binibining Pilipinas 2013 Fashion Show at the Smart Araneta Center

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I was at the Binibining Pilipinas 2013 Fashion Show with Venus Raj and Maggie Wilson at the Smart Araneta Center, also with Alma Concepcion. Video footage of the event below (more to be uploaded soon).

Fifty (50) beautiful ladies clad with heritage gowns from fashion icon Pitoy Moreno. There was also a fashion walk were some candidates were dressed in Jag sponsored outfits. The fashion show featured selected outfits that ranged from elegant gowns to fun and sexy formals, plus a man coming from the back of the audience, supposedly riddled with tattoos, caught everyone's attention as the 2nd part of the show began.

I was caught between getting a video or a photo coverage so I just decided to make a half-video (first part of the show) and half-photo (second part of the show) - a very long event for that night of glam and glory! So expect this write-up as just the first part of my story about the Binibining Pilipinas 2013 Fashion Show.

Binibining Pilipinas 2013: A Treasure Trove of Beauty and Talent

Wazzup Pilipinas !

Beyond beauty of face and figure, the golden batch of Bb. Pilipinas is also teeming with talent.

I was excited to attend this event - the same way I was excited when I watched the Talent Competition of Miss Philippines last year. But this one was open for the public to watch at the sidelines.

Miss Philippines organizers chose to present it to an exclusive few, but the organizers of the Binibining Pilipinas has chosen an open area instead so many people will have the opportunity to watch beauty and talent unfolding right before their eyes.

Sixteen of the fifty official 2013 Binibining Pilipinas candidates strutted their stuff at the Binibining Pilipinas 2013 Talent Competition recently held at the Gateway Mall Activity Area.



The lovely girls displayed an array of talents that ranged from singing to magic to hula hooping. The roster of judges included Bong Osorio, ABS-CBN Corporate Communications Head , Tim Yap Philippine Star Columnist, Samboy Lim, Ginebra San Miguel Coach, RJ Ledesma, TV host and Uno Magazine Editor, Shamcey Supsup, Miss Universe 2011 3rd Runner Up, Chit Guerrero, ABS-CBN Special Projects Head, and Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) board member Conchitina Bernardo, and artist Betsy Westendorp.
