Binibining Pilipinas 2016 Grand Coronation Night Winners

Wazzup Pilipinas!

40 candidates vying for 6 coveted crowns. Who will win tonight?!?!
Even though tonight Pia Wurtzbach is giving up the crown, she will forever be our Miss Philippines!

KC Concepcion and Xian Lim host the Binibining Pilipinas 2016 Grand Coronation Night happening at the Araneta Center, also known as The Big Dome.

#BbPilipinas2016 candidates dance onstage. The ladies strut their stuff during the opening number with a Telepopmusik !!! I really love a good opening dance number and this one was reminiscent of the Commander production in Miss Universe 2010.

The #BbPilipinas2016 intro shows that rashguards are definitely in fashion now. I totally have a high respect for women who can still dance while using those...what...are they shoes...I mean heels!

The winners of the first four special awards has been recognized.

The Special Awards goes to:

Miss Friendship - Bb. 16 Vina Openiano
Miss Talent - Bb. 16 Vina Openiano
Best in National Costume - Bb. 3 Angela Fernando
Miss Photogenic - Bb. 31 Kylie Verzosa

Binibining Pilipinas 2016 judges include #MissUSA Olivia Jordan, Ian Veneracion and Paolo Roxas, the son of Mar Roxas.  Other judges include Laurenti Dyogi of ABS-CBN, Cory Vidanes of ABS-CBN, Ambassador Joseph Bernardo, Ambassador Igor Khovaev, Ambassador Jan Top Christensen, Ambassador Roland Remorteele, DTI Secretary Adrian Cristobal. How many diplomats do we have as judges again? No offense, I'm sure they are very good at what they do but ...

We also see some of the previous Binibining Pilipinas winners present at the Big Dome tonight! Paula Shugart is also in the house. Nichole Cordoves sizzles, loving Laura Lehmann's angelic face (Ateneo's courtside reporter! From courtside reporter to Bb Pilipinas host real quick) and Ariella Arida wins best outfit of the night. Slay girl, slayyy. 

Fabio Ide and Bianca Manalo are also here to support younger sister Nichole Manalo.

Harapan ng Bise: The Vice Presidential Candidates Debate of ABS-CBN

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"We are on the process of courtship,I hope we wouldn't FALL for SWEET WORDS."

We got to know some insights from our Vice Presidential candidates from ABS-CBN's "Harapan ng Bise at 5:30 pm, which is also shown simultaneously on ANC HD.

Present in the debate are Chiz Escudero, Antonio Trillanes, Leni Roredo and Allan Peter Cayetano. The four VP candidates that are participating in the debate today are the most competent. I hope I can narrow my choice soon.

The two candidates, Gringo Honasan and Bongbong Marcos, with unexplained wealth according to their SALN's are absent. I guess that explains a lot. It would have been a spicier debate if BBM is present! BBM says he is celebrating anniversary with wife instead.

Why do I find this debate boring! This is more of like an extemporaneous speaking thing. There's something missing .. Am I the only one feeling that way?

Shining shimmering stage set up. Ramp. Q&A. I'm not sure if this festive theme is fit for a political debate because the stuff these candidates tackle are serious. The space provided for this debate doesn't encourage political inquiry and intelligence rather festivity and dumbfounded praise. Whoever thought of this format must be scratching his/her head right now.
