Bb. Pilipinas 2009 pageant now officially kicks off! Posted above is the video of the 24 contestants. They were publicly presented to the media by the Madam Stella Araneta and Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc (BPCI).
This year’s batch is quite exciting as the bevy of beauties include models, flight attendants, an aspiring TV/movie actress, a former Bb. Pilipinas 2nd RU, the usual balikbayan beauties, a former reality TV show contestant and college coeds among others.

#10 – Priscilla Navidad: 19 year old deaf beauty from Davao. Represented Mindanao at the 2007 Miss Teen Philippines where she was chosen as 1st RU. Her claim to fame and stardom was when she was chosen to be among the housemates of the highly popular Pinoy Big Brother – Teen 2008 Edition.

Regina Hahn is actually the daughter of Chiqui Brosas-Hahn. Rej was my boss at Globe about 2 years ago. She’s got brains for sure. The whole team will sure be rooting for her!
Bet ko si Pamela Bianca Manalo in the first look!
# 9 APRIL LOVE JORDAN all the way! Pinay beauty with substance, what can I say? Tall, gorgeous, intelligent, assertive, presence of mind, and experience. Finalist of Miss Earth-Philippines and Mutya ng Pilipinas Runner-up, Miss Ilocos, and a whole lot more!
Make this year’s Binibining Pilipinas a truly remarkable statement. The years with “9″ were triumphant years for the Philippines. In 1969, olive-skinned and witty Gloria Diaz was crowned as the first Filipina Miss Universe in Florida. In 1979, the statuesque and classic Melanie Marquez collared the crown and scepter in 1979 Miss International in Tokyo. In the 1989 Miss Asia Pacific in Hongkong, charming Lorna Legaspi’s victory was sweet. 1999 was the year of Miriam Quiambao, while ranking only as First Runner Up in the Miss U in Trinidad and Tobago, she was an embodiment of sophisticated Miss Philippines. To this end, the judges will have worthy choices this year.
Nice! I am betting for candidate number 4 Gizelle Rivamonte!!! Super down to earth sya, na-meet ko sya last Sunday after ng Parade…ang kinis at masarap kausap… kakatuwa sya at determinado talga ang babaeng ito!!! GO GO GO Arivamonte!
