Mutya ng Pilipinas 2014 Candidates Media Presentation

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We got first glimpse of all 30 candidates all vying for the top crown as Mutya Ng Pilipinas 2014 at a press conference held at the Manila Ocean Park where Hotel H2O was also located as the official residence of the candidates. A contract signing between the Hotel H2O and Mutya Ng Pilipinas management was held before the presentation of candidates to the members of the media.

I had my eye on a selected few for being so alluring not just because they have a well-proportioned body with vita statistics worth trading your current girlfriend with, hehehe, but also because they seemingly project the confidence that would make them ideal to represent the country.

We've seen how they walk, we've heard how they talk, we've seen them in a fabulous gown and in skimpy two-piece swimsuits, all wearing high-heeled shoes everytime, and we can't help but be amazed of how beautiful and charming they all are.

But one must select "The One" for our vote as the Darling of the Press, or the chosen one who will win an award that day as the choice of the members of the media.Candidate Number 25, Patricia Bosco of Milan,  was chosen as the Darling of the Press. There were two other winners that day that were each awarded a recognition from the sponsors. Chosen as Miss Hotel H2O is Candidate Number 4 Nueva Ecija's Ma. Jackielyn Dulay, and Candidate Number 26, Glennifer Perido of the Cordilleras, was chosen as Miss Tupperware.

I actually voted for candidate Number 7, Alexandra Faith Garcia of Zambales, as my Darling of the Press because I was looking for that Filipina look that was not subdued by foreign nationalities, however, another lovely lady emerged victorious as the Darling of the Press which was undoubtedly also a stunner though she has the looks that was obviously gained from another nationality. That's how wonderful being a Filipino is. When other nationalities combine with our Filipino traits, the outcome are equally charming individuals worthy of running for beauty queen titles.

They all have the face, the height, the body, the personality and hopefully the brains and talents to become the next Mutya Ng Pilipinas for 2014. Best of luck to all 30 candidates!
