Last Sunday night,6 Binibinis were named as the new Queens of the Binibining Pilipinas 2015. From left to right were #28 Hanna Ruth Lulu Sison, #8 Kimverlyn Suiza 2nd runner up (black gown without crown), #24 Ann Lorraine Colis Bb. Pilipinas Tourism, #19 Christi Lynn McGarry Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental, #10 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach Bb. Pilipinas Universe, #11 Janicel Lubina Bb.Pilipinas International and #25 Rogelie Catacutan as Binibining Pilipinas Supranational.
I guess all of these lovely ladies have the same motto which is try and try until you succeed. For Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, it was her 3rd attempt to try the journey for the crown where she ended up as 2nd runner-up in 2013, and one of the finalists in 2014. But this time, she nailed it and this lovely lady from Cagayan de Oro, was crowned Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2015.
She looks very lovely in her new crown.
Here’s my photo of her in 2013 during the Welcome Party of Ariella Ara Arida.
Here’s her photo from the swimsuit competition in Sofitel. You will really see the big difference as she turns out to be a more fit and vibrant Pia. I guess that really made a good impression on her part this 2015.
Here is also a photo of Pia during the National Costume presentation held in Araneta Center a few days before the grand coronation night. Isn’t she lovely? Things do come out the way it should be as long as you work hard on your goal and having the virtue of patience.
If you notice her in this pic and her recent photos, she did a lot of workout where it was really noticeable that she trimmed down to maybe 2 sizes smaller.
Here’s a headshot from the National Costume event.
Janicel Lubina from Palawan is not a first timer for pageants where i first saw her in Miss Bikini Philippines 2013 where she was crowned as the winner. Here is her recent photo in the swimsuit competition.

So i believe it’s only Christi Lynn McGarry and Rogelie Catacutan who was a first timer to join a national pageant. Correct me please if i am wrong but i don’t see her name in any other beauty pageant.
Here are some photos of Christi Lynn McGarry during the pre-pageant.
