Beauty pageants among Filipino-Americans can be compared to warring TV networks and competing camps. Two weeks ago, Miss Philippines Quest USA 2014 was launched on the East Coast. Just recently, Binibining Pilipinas USA 2014 started making its presence felt on the West. And there couldn’t have been a better time for mixed-race ladies and US-bred lovelies to try their luck in either and tracing their Pinoy roots in the process.
One is getting their winner fielded in Miss World Philippines 2014, while the other is looking at prepping up theirs for a possible Bb. Pilipinas 2015 stint (taking the residency requirements into consideration, of course.)
The question is who will attract more high quality contestants? The one with a guaranteed candidacy for MWP? Or the one with a more prestigious title attached to it? :-)
