BB. PILIPINAS 2018 WISH LIST

Bb. Pilipinas is now accepting applicants and the deadline for submission is January 8, 2018 which is fast approaching.  In this context, people are speculating that the Philippines might host the 67th edition of Miss Universe next year and will probably be held earlier than expected. Miss U officials were in the country earlier this month including the current title holder Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters of South Africa.

This early, people are talking about the possibility of two well-known personalities joining next year's Bb.Pilipinas pageant.  I am referring to Catriona Gray and Michelle Marquez Dee.

Catriona competed in 2016 Miss World and placed 4th but suffice it to say, Filipinos weren't contented with her placement and they say she should have placed higher or even the Miss World crown.  Catriona is now 23 years old and stands 1.78m (roughly 5'9"). She has a Masters Certificate in Music Theory from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Her exposure in Miss World will certainly boost her chances of winning the top plum in Binibining Pilipinas.

Michelle Marquez Dee is the daughter of 1979 Miss International Melanie Marquez (from previous marriage to Businessman Derek Dee).  Michelle is long legged like her mom.  She's now 22 and stands about 6 feet tall.  She is currently completing her BS Psychology course at De La Salle University. Michelle  has been visible in the modelling circuit of recent  and is an endorser of HerBench clothing line.

The question remains, will they join Bb. Pilipinas next year?  If ever both decide to   join,  it's definitely going to be a tough competition and for sure both wants the Bb. Pilipinas Universe title.
