FINAL TOP 15 PICKS FOR 2018 BB. PILIPINAS

This year's batch is probably the strongest in recent years.  More than half of this year's candidates are pageant veterans, meaning they are either repeaters or crossovers from other national pageants.  It's quite hard to choose which one should go to Miss Universe or Miss International and so on as there are a dozen of them worthy of winning any of the six titles in contention.  I am not gonna name who is my pick for each title but l just listed down my top 15.  It all depends on their performance tonight and the Q&A shall be the deciding factor in choosing the top winners.

Catriona Gray leads the pack.  She's beautiful, articulate and many agree that she's the one for Bb. Pilipinas Universe.  Jehza Mae Huelar tries her luck for the third time hoping to win one of the crowns tonight.   Another standout is Karen Gallman.  Karen Gallman and Vicky Ralston are two of the shortest candidates but no doubt they are also  two of the prettiest.  Another favorite is volleyball star player Michele Gumabao.  

2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach was quoted saying that this year the candidates are allowed to wear  gown of their own choice unlike in previous years.  Since both Aya Abesamis and Catriona Gray comes from a well-off family and have all the support they can get from their mentors, they can afford to have the best gowns of their own choice and we'll see who will pull it off on the ramp.

Here's my  Top 15 list:

(1) Vicky Ralston   (3) Muriel Orais  (7)  Sigrid Grace Flores  (11)  Ma. Andrea Abesamis
(14) Samantha Bernardo (17) Ma. Ahtisa Manalo  (19) Michele Gumabao  (20) Catriona Gray
(23) Ena Louis Velasco  (26) Wynonah Buot)   (29) Samantha Kaye  (31)  Jehza Mae Huelar
(32) Eva Pantalinjug  (35) Sandra Lemonon  (38)  Karen Gallman

Actor Richard Gutierrez and 2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach will host the pageant tonight.
