We came so close to getting the 7th Miss International last year with Ahtisa Manalo's perfect performance in the Swimsuit, Evening Gown, and Speech earned her the 1st runner up title, actually Ahtisa's performance was so flawless I believe she even did better than Kylie Versoza.
So okay, what are we looking for in a Binibini to be the next Miss International? First is that she should have this innocent and angelic face, next must have is a queenly aura or she should be prim and proper, and lastly she should not have an attitude, as the Japs doesn't want girls who don't follow the rules.
I got four names that I think are in the running for the 7th Miss International crown of the Philippines. Hannah Arnold, Samantha Lo, Emma Tiglao, and Vickie Rushton hands down these girls got all the checks in to become the next Miss International, but the downside is that all of them already packaged themselves for the Miss Universe, from the styling, make up, aura, and overall look, but I guess not even styling couldn't erase the fact that these girls are also MI caliber.
After Mutya Datul won the first crown of the Philippines in the Miss Supranational, we all thought that the formula in winning the Supra crown will be easy, but we all thought wrong as all girls we've sent to Poland went all home empty handed, well at least Jehza Huelar was able finished in the top 10 of the Miss Supranational last year, despite having troubles such as a wardrobe malfunction specially on her evening gown.
What I think we should look for in a Binibini for her to be sent to Poland is that first she should know how to kill it in the catwalk, Supra is more of a runway fashion show as the pageant got three categories when it comes to ramp, they got a swimwear, active wear, and evening gown, that's why a good pasarela is a must.
The second factor is her beauty, since the pageant is being held in Europe, I think sending a Binibini with such an exotic beauty will be a good idea, Asian Beauties and Latinas always got an advantage in that pageant just like Mutya for example.
Okay, here are the girls that could possibly be the next Miss Supranational Philippines, starting off with Samantha Bernardo, actually SamBer's skin color, that bronzed look is perfect for this competition, plus her pasarela and her long legs will surely bring the runway on fire come in the pageant.
Second is Isabella Galleria, this girl is a dark horse in the competition, she got that beauty queen vibes, she reminds me of Mutya actually that's why I placed her in the Supra.
Next is Jessica Marasigan, this girl can win in the ramp, plus she has that comm skills to back her beauty up in the pageant.
Last and definitely not the least is Denj Magno, talk about exotic beauty, Denj perfectly defined it, her pure Filipina looks will surely a beauty to watch out for in the Supra stage.
Karen Gallman puts pressure on the next queen as she is the reigning and the first ever Pinay Miss Intercontinental, the quest for a back to back is up and the pressure is on for Karen's successor.
I got four girls to choose from for the Miss Intercontinental crown, first is April Short, her height will be an advantage as well as her slender figure.
Second and third are the Mutya girls Ilene De Vera and Leren Mae Bautista, both girls competed internationally and I guess experience is their best weapon entering this pageant.
The last girl is Nichole Guerrero, she's also a good communicator, I guess she's like Karen, they are both under the radar, but got some surprises up under their sleeves.

Miss Globe has been an unpredictable pageant after we won the crown back in 2015 with Ann Colis being crowned the first Miss Globe from the Philippines. We've sent fierce and tall girls like Michele Gumabao last year who ended up only in the Top 15 and Nelda Ibe who finished 1st runner up back in 2017, but looks like Miss Globe's criteria in choosing their Queens got different variaties every year. So again for Miss Globe I guess sending tall girls is still a requirement, so here's my pick for the next Miss Globe Philippines 2019.
I only got two girls in mind for Miss Globe, the first one is Julia Saubier and the second one is April Short, both girls are tall, beautiful, and statuesque, both of them are also good speaker, although I don't know if Miss Globe will include a Q&A again this year, but either of Julia and April, I bet these girls will represent the Philippines very well in this pageant.

Coming off of the midterm elections, KontrAdiksyon is a very timely film that aims to sheds light on what is arguably the most striking issue in the country - the war on drugs. The film shows a complex take on this matter, making Filipino audiences aware of the various aspects and opposing views surrounding our country.

Eva Patalinjug went home empty handed in last year's pageant that was held in Myanmar. It was a controversial year for this pageant as many pageant fans went berserk with what had happened to Eva, things had gotten worse as the pageant owner continuously fire back at the fans on social media and even called another pageant a cooking show that started a campaign that requesting BPCI to drop the crown in this year's pageant, but I guess the crown stays so here are my picks for the Miss Grand Philippines Crown for 2019.
Starting off with Julia Saubier, her eloquence, the way she converses with people, and her statuesque figure made her one of my pic for the Grand Crown.
Another one of my MGI List is Samantha Lo, I picked her because of her performance during the Free Speech part in the Pre Pageant, we all know MGI is all about speeches, storytelling, public speaking, that's how the way that pageant goes.
My third MGI Girl is Patch Magtanong. Well, we all know that MGI's main advocacy is to stop the war, and who else is the best girl to send in this pageant of course, someone who knew the laws and how they work to bring peace and order, and I believe Atty Patch Magtanong is that girl who can bring that elusive crown home.
I got two other picks, Shane Tormes and Samantha Bernardo, their beauties will surely stand out in MGI. Cause you know as I observe with MGI is that they are trying to look for someone with a universal beauty and a total package..
I know a lot of girls doesn't want this crown, but there should be at least a contender for it, so there you go, next is the Miss Globe Philippines.
