2012 Binibining Pilipinas

I've just watched the most beautiful, intelligent and sexiest women in the country for vying the title of Binibining Pilipinas 2012. Thanks to ABS-CBN for covering the pageant last April 15, 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

And the winners are:

2nd Runner-up - Bb. #29 Annalie Forbes

1st Runner-up - Bb. #15 Elaine Kay Moll

Bb. Pilipinas-Tourism – Bb # 13 Katrina Jayne Dimaranan

Bb. Pilipinas-International – Bb. #8 Nicole Schmitz

Bb. Pilipinas-Universe – Bb. #18 Janine Tugonon

Janine Tugonon

*What made me surprise to this year's Bb. Pilipinas-Universe - Janine Tugonon, she placed last year as 1st runner-up. But, now her batchmate Shamcey Supsup transferred the crown to her to compete and represent the country for the upcoming Miss Universe 2012 pageant. I have noticed she didn't win any special awards. Despite of not winning any, she still made it to be the country's beautiful woman this year.

Mary Jean Lastimosa

I thought Bb. #9 Mary Jean Lastimosa would end up as Bb. Pilipinas - Universe. She received special awards such as Miss PAL and Miss AVON. Last year, she also joined the pageant and won as 2nd-runner up. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to enter to the top 5 this year. Who wouldn't know she might be the 2013's Binibining Pilipinas.
