| Team Venezuela 2015: Anyela Galante (for Miss World), Mariana Jimenez (for Miss Universe), Andrea Rosales (for Miss Earth) & Edymar Martinez (for Miss International) |
 |
| Team Philippines 2015: Janicel Lubina (for Miss International), Hillarie Danielle Parungao (for Miss World), Pia Wutzbach (for Miss Universe) & Angelia Ong (for Miss Earth) |
We will take a look how each of the candidates will do
well in the international pageant.
One common denominator with these three sisters is the
presence of repeaters:
Mariana Jimenez competed at Miss Grand International 2013
where she was at Top 20,
Catharina Choi competed at Miss Earth 2013 where she was
3rd Runner Up where she represents Korea instead of Brazil. Catharina is Half–Korean,
Half–Brazilian. By being able to compete in both countries, I assume, she has
dual citizenship.
Hillarie Danielle Parungao competed at Miss Asia Pacific
World 2014 where she was 3rd Runner Up.
These girls are scheduled to compete on the following
dates:
Miss International: 05
November 2015 (Tokyo, Japan)
Miss Earth: 05
December 2015 (Vienna, Austria)
Miss World: 19
December 2015 (Sanya, China)
Miss Universe: 20
December 2015 (Nevada, USA)
Team Philippines
Janicel Lubina is a pageant veteran at the age of 20. She
represented the Philippines once at Miss Scuba International and supposed to be
at Model of the World but did not compete because of security breach.
Strong points: Superb modelling execution. She will ace
the swimsuit and evening gown competition.
Weak points: Poor communication skill. During her send–off,
the press asked her several question. She was able to answer it but on a local
language. There was even an instance wherein she has to shift from English to
Tagalog just to be able to express her thought. Janicel has the thought to
express herself “emphatically” rather than “intellectually” which is what the judges
are looking for. It’s just that the thought she organized in mind to say would
not translate to English based on how she perceived it.
Angelia Ong was a batchmate of Pia Wutzbach at Binibining
Pilipinas. She is a local pageant repeater.
Strong points: Majestic execution of Evening gown.
Weak points: No strong appeal in swimwear. Concise and
generic answer to question and answer. If she continues to be in the same
disposition, she wouldn’t even reach Top 8.
Hillarie Danielle Parungao has already won once in a “continental”
beauty pageant which gives her enough experience to compete internationally.
She is the perfect embodiment of “Beauty with a purpose” having an advocacy of
her own in alleviating child mortality.
Strong points: Pre–pageant advocacy aligned with Miss
World. Innocent faced. Regal in evening gown. As the swimsuit will already be
eliminated at Miss World, she doesn’t have to worry about it. Her answer showed
consistency even in ambush interview. She expresses herself well.
Weak points: Just like other Filipinas who competed internationally
and ended up as Runner up, Hillarie is of no exemption; her answer to the final
question is again the “intellectual” type when the judges are looking for an “emphatic”
one. Megan Young won the Miss World because her final answer has the empathy
that is aligned to the advocacy of the pageant.
Pia Wutzbach just like last year’s representative (MJ
Lastimosa) is a third timer of the pageant.
Strong points: She struts well in swimwear and can play
with her evening gown. Her facial expression is synchronized with her body
movement. She has a good communication skill.
Weak points: The way she answer question is shallow in
nature and lacks conviction. It lacks a deeper sense of meaning that will blow
the judges to make her the winner. It doesn’t have enough substance that would
answer the question “Why should we choose you to be the Miss Universe?”
