The country will never run out of beautiful Filipinas. They just keep on coming and, for most, pleasantly surprising us with their participation in the several beauty pageants that get hosted annually.
Take for example the twenty-nine (29) candidates of Slimmers World Miss Bikini Philippines 2015 who were presented to the media during a well-attended Press Presentation at the Diamond Hotel yesterday noon. While I wouldn’t exactly state that this is their best bumper crop of contenders, there are still more than a handful of easy standouts who can cruise to possible victory come May 21 finals at the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Resorts World Manila.
The 2015 comers (and their assigned numbers) are: 1) Ariz Encarnacion, 2) Beah Ocampo, 3) Jessah Eclevia, 4) Jhai Cariaga, 5) Julie Basnillo, 6) Zairah Agsaluna, 7) Tim Alsowyed, 8) Marlyn dela Merced, 9) Ayen Mangaring, 10) Divine Canaceli, 11) Nicole Dichoso, 12) Pau Napuli, 13) France Constantino, 14) Kim Alcantara, 15) MJ Lucero, 16) Rayne Tipones, 17) Lyn Agriam, 18) Ina Alcantara, 19) Maricar Sicuana, 20) Karla Alas, 21) Jonna Bravante, 22) Angelu Gonzales, 23) Honey Bravante, 24) Crystal Padilla, 25) Maggie Hizon, 26) Gale Canillo, 27) Ace Morales, 28) Juvi Balili and 29) Angela Yagaya.
Here are the photo grids of the ladies courtesy of Joy Arguil.
