Who's your pick for the most beautiful body?

Though many would say that every shape even those from plus-size to double-zeros has been desirable throughout history — and all are considered beautiful, the times have changed and along with the times are the change in taste per era or generation.

"Even if you've never taken an art history class in your life, you know that a Rubenesque (plump or rounded) figure was the beauty standard in centuries past, and while bootylicious bodies may be on trend now, boyish shapes were in just a few short years ago. From fad diets to plastic surgery, who can keep up with being the "right" size?"

What could be the standards for a beauty queen? What will the judges look for in their choice for the most ideal body type that would be perfect for their Miss Philippines Earth 2016?

Since there are other factors, such as facial beauty and intelligence, to consider in finally deciding who would win the crown, having a beautiful body may not be enough to bag the highest title. However, I would never get tired of looking at a lady whose body is an epitome of health and wellness. 

Ogle at these beauties below and pick your own choices that would possibly get a fighting chance to at least get it among the top ten.
