Binibining Pilipinas: On #3, #18, and #21.

Sunday, March 7, 2010 3:21 6 Comments

Yes, I watched Binibining Pilipinas’ Grand Coronation Night earlier, live at the Araneta Coliseum. I was rooting for #3, Patrixia Shirley Santos, previously crowned Miss Bicolandia 2009. However, she didn’t get into the top 10. (Don’t worry, ikaw pa rin ang panalo sa puso ko. Whatdafuck?)
We were expecting #18, Helen Nicolette Henson, to bag one [...]

Do You Have a Shoe Story to Tell?
