At the going rate, I have the feeling that three Asian beauties will make the cut tomorrow night. Two of them will remain standing to battle for the crown.

My fearless predicts - Asian beauties, Korea, Japan and Thailand will make it to Top 15 with our very own Miss Philippines a possible shoo in.

Other beauties making the cut:

Tanzania
Angola
Venezuela
USA
Serbia
Uruguay
Italy
Mexico
Greece
Estonia
Spain
Bolivia

Korea and Japan will be the last wo ladies standing with Korea winning their first Miss Universe crown.

Asian invasion for Miss Universe 2007 similar but not close enough to Miss Universe 1987 when Portip[ Nakrihurnkanok of Thailand won with Miss Korea as 1st RU.

guys admit na natin na lumalabo ang chances ni tere para makopo ang isang slot bilang semi-fnalist sa darating na linggo. 50 - 50 ang chance niya and if ever na mapenetrate niya yun siguro nadala siya ng interview portion na siyang asset niya.

her gown is not truly bad at all pero may kulang sa kanya lalo na pagdating nung swimsuit category, she's not far behind from others naman pero iba ang dating, KULANG!!! di nahasa masyado ang pagproject nya at pagrampa, pictures on a high resolution ay maganda ang kinalabasan niya pero over all stage presnt kulang na kulang ang dating not like THAILAND.... let see on monday, we are still hoping that she will be on the top 15 semi finalist.... I'm not againts Tere but there's missing something on her.......

mark m word folks! ONLY THREE ASIAN WILL PENETRATE AS ONE OF THE TOP 15 SEMIFINALIST OF THE 2007 MISS UNIVERSE. (THAILAND, KOREA, JAPAN, PHILIPPPINES, INDIA are strong contenders but only 3 of them will join the other girls)

I got this from www.beautydome.tk

This is their latest blog about the preliminary competition. They mentioned Miss Philippines.

--

May 25

Preliminary Scoops

This is an update from our friend, Keno, one of Beautydome's partner, who went with his friends to witness the much awaited preliminary competition. Some parts are paraphrased.

My 3 friends and I went at the National Auditorium wednesday night, and of course we were awesomely excited. The rush of the feeling that morning was beyond exceptional, and we can't wait how Laural, Miss New Zealand Universe, will impress the judges.

The seat placements that we got might not be as good as we expected--about 20 meters away from the tip ramp of the ramp.

That day was the day as my first time to see Lupita Jones, fromer Miss Universe, in person. She was beautiful and looking elegant, as always. Migs, a friend of mine, even shook me when she saw Zuleyka; he was not there last Miss Universe 2006. Zuleyka was one of the emcee of the preliminary competition.

We went so excited when we were told that the show was about to start. People from Mexico, of course, roared wild out of excitement shouting: "Mexico, Mexico!" Then again, it wasn't just them. The whole crowd went excited when the show was about to start.

You must have seen how ecstatic the opening number was throught videos right? It was awesome! Contrary to what Shiegrea (Beautydome's graphic desinger) said as she did not like it and according to her, it doesn't show cultural relevance and all of those hoolabaloos. But Migs and I thought otherwise. It was a fantastic opening number, seeing those girls wearing their Tadashi dresses on those leveled platforms, while the others would ramp on stage--the idea was superb.

And so the preliminary competition did start. Here are the girls who we thought stood out: Obviously, crowd support goes to Miss Mexico, whose face was radiant looking because of her gown. When Miss Tanzania went on stage, the people were also roaring for her; her face was different in person. However, her gown was a total disappointment although she carried it nicely. Who could set Miss Greece aside? Her face was totally lovely. Migs, Shigs, and I looked at each other when it was her turn to walk, of course our minds told each other: "Here's one of our favorites." Suprisingly enough, her catwalk wasn't that good. Her SS presentation was more of a stiff walker. Just our cents opinion would say that she might be one of the bottom half when we speak of catwalk skills. Then again, of course, she is lovely and her face was to die for. Speaking of a face to die for, Miss Korea, Honey Lee, would definitely top the title. Beautydome did not vote for her as the Most Beautiful Face winner if she is not deserving right? She was lovely. Having been a fan of Honey Lee, I immediatley noticed that she changed her gown. Another Asian delegate who tops the preliminary list would be Miss Japan, she wore a gucci. And later we found out that it was the same design worn one time by Oprah Winfrey. She really knew how to work that gown! Shigrea told me, "It's fantastic, I want that gown." Then Migs was the one who answered, "Is it really the type you should wear for a Miss Universe pageant?" Of course, Shigs and I told him that they can wear whatever gown they like. Who could forget the infamous gown Miss Universe Japan 2004 wore? Nevertheless, Miss Japan knows how to carry the gown. Plus, her SS ramp was lively! It is safe to say that she is one of the Top 15 ladies come Monday. Much to my surprise, as I am not a fan of her, Miss Puerto Rico totally knew how to "work it." Her gown was one of the best that evening, her walk goes with it as well.

Ok, so it's Lau's turn, Miss New Zealand, we cheered for her of course. One funny moment was that Shigs choked; "excessive cheering" she told us. I can't say enough about her but that she could really be one of the dark horses this year. If she enters the Top 15, it won't be much of a surprise for us.

Miss South Africa was definitely stunning on her gown. The way she carried it was much more of an elegance. I wouldn't vote for her as my Miss Elegance if I don't think she is one. When the spotlights hit her face, a total wow as she stood out from her group! Moreover, almost all of the red gowns stood out when the ladies are standing on groups. Miss Malaysia's gown wasn't that flattering but has caught my eye when she is on group. "Was that the one she wore on her National Pageant?" I asked my friends. Shigs replied, "I was asking my self the same thing." Miss Philippines, who I thought would do well in the EG portion did not meet my expectation. Her projection was mysterious, which is a plus; her face was "mysteriously understandable," which is a minus. I'd say she still has a chance Interview-wise, and a 50-65% chance for her bubbly SS event. Another disappointment would be Miss Spain, who we thought did not do very well on her SS and EG presentation. Although, nothing can take away the fact that she looked stunning while she walked during her EG presentation. A plus side for Miss Guatemala on the other hand was her EG presentation, it was lovely. Her white gown complemented and complimented her so much. The chandelier earring that she wore, which is a known strategy for gowns, did not overdo her presentation. She strited like a floating cloud, I thought to myself. With this, I also won't be surprised if she enters the semis, it is on a 80% chance I believe.

In terms of EG presentation and walk, it is worthy of recommendation that a lady must let her arms loose and swim as she walks. It would look stiff if you would put your hands on your hips or waist if you walk. Despite this, Miss Indonesia's EG presentation was also a surprise for me. She was stunningly ravishing even though she has her hand on her waist. Her SS presentation was ok. Miss Italy looked like she was on a runway. Her presence and aura was that of a supermodel. We totally liked her SS presentation.

A few more ladies stood out and was totally memorable, but I need not explain further as I deem it unecessary. They are lovely, period. That's my point. Miss Venezuela, Miss USA, Miss Brazil, and Miss Thailand are on almost everybody's list after the preliminaries, and they should be!

After the event, the three of us went out and extended the day of fun. It was a wonderful experience and we can't wait for the Finals Night. Oh by the way, when the program ended and we were again cheering loudly for Laural, Shigs once again choked! Funny indeed.

The long drought is Over

ABS-CBN's CORRESPONDENT, DYAN CASTILLEJO AT MISS UNIVERSE MEDIA PRESS !

Grabeh, nagpadala pa ang ABS-CBN ng news reporter para masaksihan ng pinoy ang Miss Universe Pageant. Nakakapagtaka lang kung bakit ibinigay ng Miss Universe Organization ang TV rights knowing the fact that GMA7 (ABS-CBN rival company) is the producer of Bb. Pilipinas pageant, Juskoday, kung BPCI ang may pakana nito, eh para na kabastusan, katraidoran at sinampal to the max ang GMA7. At nakakapagtaka kung bakit gumagastos ng malaki ang ABS-CBN sa publicity ng Miss Universe? Kung magpareport para bang next year ang Pilipinas ang host.... O baka naman kokopya ng production number para sa Miss Earth! Lol!

At napabalita na todo ligaw ang Trump Organization sa BCDA (BASES CONVERSION DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY) na makuha ang ilang lupain sa Fort Bonifacio para sa expand ng Business empire sa Southeast Asia. Two weeks ago, may Video Conference with DONALD TRUMP and some authorities ng nasabing agency.


(Eto ang source: http://www.businessmirror.com.ph/0518&192007/companies03.html, http://www.fortboniconsultancy.com/blog/, www.gmanews.tv/story/42858/Shangri-La-group-plans-6-star-hotel-in-Taguig at marami pang sandamukhang source sa Internet)

WELL ANO ANG CONNECTION NITO SA MISS UNIVERSE?? WELL... AHEM.... no comment muna basta ang alam ko, nung 2005, nanligaw din ang Trump Organization sa Toroto, Canada officials para makuha ang piece land sa Toronto. At ngayon, pinatatayo na ang kanyang Five star hotel sa Canada.

Anyway, eto report ni Dyan Castillejo sa TV Patrol World live mula sa CAMEO REAL sa Mexico City

TANZANIA - graveh! She truly deserves the hype! Akala ko, isa siya sa mga Martian sa Mars Attack (LOL!) pero maganda ang lolah mo. Mapapansin ang kanyang pagiging Kalbo.

USA - Ininterview ni Dyan CAstillejo at medyo articuluda ang USA. Talagang MAGNA-CUM LAUDE ang dating ng kanyang answers about Beauty Chuva. Maganda sa TV. Telegenic talaga at medyo kakabog. TOP 5!

VENEZUELA - mukhang natural ang Jonaitis. Maganda ang tono ng skin at super favorite ng Mexican Press. Telegenic at hindi sya mukhang Fake. Yung kanyang hairstyle ang nagpapatago ng kanyang mahabang baba na mala Ai-Ai De las Alas. Pero infairness, maganda sya.

PARAGUAY - Hindi siya kagandahan sa TV, sa totoo lang... photogenic lang pala. Kumanta pa sa Interview ni Dyan.

THAILAND - kakaloka, akala ko chaka ang bruha.. pero huwag ka, mukhang kakabog sa Finals. Ang tangkad at may pagka Cynthia Olivarria ang arrive.

NORWAY - Ang Kirby Ann Basken... hindi ko sya feel. Sa Sunday edition ng TV Patrol makikita ang Interview nila ni Kirby Ann Basken at Angelina Glass.

INDONESIA - maganda sya at infairness. pero mas feel ni Donald Trump mag invest sa Pilipinas.

KOREA - damang dama talaga ang kanyang pagiging Favorite sa Media Press. Kamukha ni Carlene Aguilar. Papasok na din ang Korea sa Top 15. Pero feel ko, ma iisnab sa top 5 dahil hindi kagalingan ang kanyang Pagrampa.

JAPAN - Maganda sya at rampadora, pero nagamit na ni Donald Trump ang Japan last year.

RUSSIA - Papasok ito sa Top 15. Syempre, yung may ari ng Miss Russia Universe ay Multi Billionaire sa Moscow.

PUERTO RICO - isa pa ito, mag iinvest din si Donald Trump sa San Juan, Puerto Rico.

PHILIPPINES - syempre ininterview ang THERESA LICAROS. TALKATIVE ANG LUKARET. Summa Cum Laude talaga ang intelligence sa interview. Napabalita din na LUMANDI SYA sa Interview competition at favorito ng International Press na interviewhin. Feeling ko, wala sya sa actual Top 15 nuong preliminaries pero papasok yan sa Top 15. BAKIT!! Hindi dahil sa nililigawan ng Donald Trump ang BCDA, kundi:

"Organizers say the Miss Universe contest carefully selects women who are intelligent, well-mannered and cultured, and dispute the notion that beauty queens are clueless about international issues. The pageant's Web site notes that Miss Universe 2000, Mpule Kwelagobe, helped build a 400-bed pediatric AIDS hospital and orphanage in her native Botswana, while Miss Universe 1981 Irene Saez of Venezuela went on to become mayor of a municipality and later ran as president, losing to President Hugo Chavez in 1998." (see http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070525/ap_en_ot/miss_universe)

HOY, INFAIRNESS KARAMIHAN NG MGA ATLEAST CUM LAUDE sa MISS USA at Miss Universe PAGEANT, pasok sa banga sa Top 15. ITAGA NYO SA NATO, POSSBLE SYANG MANALONG MISS UNIVERSE dahil apat ang ASIAN JUDGES kasama pa si DAYANARA TORRES.

Subject: AN ANALYSIS ON ASIA


Author:

[Edit]

Date Posted: 00:20:28 05/25/07 Fri

asia is one of the continent who had a greatest contendors for the miss universe crown for this year... they are KOREA, JAPAN, THAILAND, PHILIPPINES, INDIA, and hope that these girls will penetrate the semi slot on monday may 28, 2007 at mexico city, and will rule out the latinas on the semislot. if you will analyze from 2000 to 2006 only one or two asian penetrate the semi slot except 2006 where they called 20 semifinalist.

Miss Korea - 2000 Miss Philippines Nina Alagao is the best contender of Miss India for the crown, but at the end she didnt even noticed by the judges, and 2007 came will the fate of Miss Korea will be the same what happened to Nina during in Greece in 2000 Miss Universe. Miss Korea after the presentation is the best contender for the crown but we didnt even know what is the taste of the judges during the preliminary and i hope Miss Korea will be the 1st Miss Universe of her country and loved it that she came from Asia. THE ULTIMATE CONTENDER FOR THE MISS UNIVERSE CROWN

Miss India, photogenic person, height is the problem but she had a skills on catwalk, but after the presentation i doubt she will be included on the top 15, she may or may not a 50 - 50 chances.

Miss Japan, the overhyped candidate, i dont impressed on her facially because japan is always sending girls with a carbon copy of their delegate on a previous girls, but with nice presentation and politics, sure she will be on a semi slot position.

Miss Thailand, WOW! amazing, sex goddess in asia, loved her body, too sexy and her face(9 points for her).... i'm sure a top 5 contender with Miss Korea... I loved her presentation during the prelimnary round, she carried it very well....

Miss Philippines - i had a feeling for her that her chances to be called on a may 28 is transparent, i dunno know why, maybe she's very intelligent and will make it on the interview portion. But guys analyze this since the year 1990 as the score had shown on the screen Philippines got high grade and got just a satisfying grade between the swimsuit and evening gown except for Mirriam Quambao, In 1994 no doubt charlene got a satisfying grade 'coz judges on the preliminary are olmost filipino's. On her presentation last may 23, there is a lack on her and i did'nt even see what i saw on the other girls which are the best contender for a slot. It's not the gown because whatever you had choose to wear but you know how to carry it you will be an excellence for that, i loved her gown presentation, but for me she failed on a swimsuit category, there is something missing on her where we know that Miss Universe after taking by Donald Trump is searching for a material girl where she can show that she had a girl with an oozing, exotic effect to be published anywhere.... I love her name to be call on may 28 as one of the semi-finalist.

ITS STILL ON THE JUDGES HAND TO PICKUP THE TOP 10 OR 15 BECAUSE RUMORS SAID TRUMP ORGANIZATION WILL PICK A LUCKY 5 LADIES TOBE INCLUDED ON A TOP 15 POSITION. WE AJUDGED THE PERSON ON WHATEVER WE SEEN ON HER PRESENTATION LAST MAY 23, BUT JUDGES STILL HAVE DIFFERENT TASTE ASIDE FROM US AND THEY ARE THE ONE WHO HAD A RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE 15 SEMI-FINALIST.



GOOD LUCK TO EVERY GIRLS COMPETING IN THE MISS UNIVERSE 2007 AND TO EVRYONE I HOPE WE WILL SEE A GOOD SHOW ON MAY 28, 2007 AT MEXICO AND TELECAST HERE AT MAY 29, 2007 AT ABS-CBN 9:30 AM WITH A PRE-PAGEANT ON THAT SAME DATE AT 8:30.

ABS-CBN's CORRESPONDENT, DYAN CASTILLEJO AT MISS UNIVERSE MEDIA PRESS !

Grabeh, nagpadala pa ang ABS-CBN ng news reporter para masaksihan ng pinoy ang Miss Universe Pageant.

Nakakapagtaka lang kung bakit ibinigay ng Miss Universe Organization ang TV rights knowing the fact that GMA7

(ABS-CBN rival company) is the producer of Bb. Pilipinas pageant
, Juskoday, kung BPCI ang may pakana nito, eh

para na kabastusan, katraidoran at sinampal to the max ang GMA7. At nakakapagtaka kung bakit gumagastos ng malaki ang ABS-CBN sa publicity ng Miss Universe? Kung magpareport para bang next year ang Pilipinas ang host.... O baka naman kokopya ng production number para sa Miss Earth! Lol!

At napabalita na todo ligaw ang Trump Organization sa BCDA (BASES CONVERSION DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY) na makuha

ang ilang lupain sa Fort Bonifacio para sa expand ng Business empire sa Southeast Asia. Two weeks ago, may Video Conference with DONALD TRUMP and some authorities ng nasabing agency.

WELL ANO ANG CONNECTION NITO SA MISS UNIVERSE?? WELL... AHEM.... no comment muna basta ang alam ko, nung 2005,

nanligaw din ang Trump Organization sa Toroto, Canada officials para makuha ang piece land sa Toronto. At ngayon, pinatatayo na ang kanyang Five star hotel sa Canada.

Anyway, eto report ni Dyan Castillejo sa TV Patrol World live mula sa CAMEO REAL sa Mexico City

TANZANIA - graveh! She truly deserves the hype! Akala ko, isa siya sa mga Martian sa Mars Attack (LOL!) pero

maganda ang lolah mo. Mapapansin ang kanyang pagiging Kalbo.

USA - Ininterview ni Dyan CAstillejo at medyo articuluda ang USA. Talagang MAGNA-CUM LAUDE ang dating ng

kanyang answers about Beauty Chuva. Maganda sa TV. Telegenic talaga at medyo kakabog. TOP 5!

VENEZUELA - mukhang natural ang Jonaitis. Maganda ang tono ng skin at super favorite ng Mexican Press.

Telegenic at hindi sya mukhang Fake. Yung kanyang hairstyle ang nagpapatago ng kanyang mahabang baba na mala

Ai-Ai De las Alas. Pero infairness, maganda sya.

PARAGUAY - Hindi siya kagandahan sa TV, sa totoo lang... photogenic lang pala. Kumanta pa sa Interview ni Dyan.

THAILAND - kakaloka, akala ko chaka ang bruha.. pero huwag ka, mukhang kakabog sa Finals. Ang tangkad at may

pagka Cynthia Olivarria ang arrive.

NORWAY - Ang Kirby Ann Basken... hindi ko sya feel. Sa Sunday edition ng TV Patrol makikita ang Interview nila ni Kirby Ann Basken at Angelina Glass.

INDONESIA - maganda sya at infairness. pero mas feel ni Donald Trump mag invest sa Pilipinas.

KOREA - damang dama talaga ang kanyang pagiging Favorite sa Media Press. Kamukha ni Carlene Aguilar. Papasok na din ang Korea sa Top 15. Pero feel ko, ma iisnab sa top 5 dahil hindi kagalingan ang kanyang Pagrampa.

JAPAN - Maganda sya at rampadora, pero nagamit na ni Donald Trump ang Japan last year.

RUSSIA - Papasok ito sa Top 15. Syempre, yung may ari ng Miss Russia Universe ay Multi Billionaire sa Moscow.

PUERTO RICO - isa pa ito, mag iinvest din si Donald Trump sa San Juan, Puerto Rico.

PHILIPPINES - syempre ininterview ang THERESA LICAROS. TALKATIVE ANG LUKARET. Summa Cum Laude talaga ang

intelligence sa interview. Napabalita din na LUMANDI SYA sa Interview competition at favorito ng International

Press na interviewhin. Feeling ko, wala sya sa actual Top 15 nuong preliminaries pero papasok yan sa Top 15.

BAKIT!! Hindi dahil sa nililigawan ng Donald Trump ang BCDA, kundi:

"Organizers say the Miss Universe contest carefully selects women who are intelligent, well-mannered and

cultured, and dispute the notion that beauty queens are clueless about international issues. The pageant's Web

site notes that Miss Universe 2000, Mpule Kwelagobe, helped build a 400-bed pediatric AIDS hospital and

orphanage in her native Botswana, while Miss Universe 1981 Irene Saez of Venezuela went on to become mayor of a

municipality and later ran as president, losing to President Hugo Chavez in 1998." (see

HOY, INFAIRNESS KARAMIHAN NG MGA ATLEAST CUM LAUDE sa MISS USA at Miss Universe PAGEANT, pasok sa banga sa Top

15. ITAGA NYO SA NATO, POSSBLE SYANG MANALONG MISS UNIVERSE dahil apat ang ASIAN JUDGES kasama pa si DAYANARA TORRES. Oh baka, mag-aala Miss KANSAS USA 2007 (2nd Runner Up sa Miss USA 2007) siya sa Tuesday.

The MUO has recently found itself underfire in connection with the negative publicity generated by the Tara Conner controversy. That national embarassment raised not only eyebrows but questions amongst national directors and the public itself about how the winner is selected. Should final selection criteria focus as much on character and accomplishments?

In an interview last year on television, TRUMP himself said so that physical beauty, above all, is primordial in final selection of MS UNIVERSE. However, subsequent events culminating in the worldwide publicity of Tara Connor and her capers, have dented the image of the company worldwide. It was a milestone event, a turning point in the history of MUO. Eventually, the organization had to make amends. Thus, this year's Ms USA is the antithesis of the Tara Conner mold. Ms. USA 2007 Rachel Smith is academically accomplished, a magna cum laude graduate, worked as a volunteer for an Oprah Winfrey foundation, sexy yet very sweet looking, smart, polished and very lady-like. She looks and sounds good enough as an effective spokesperson for MUO and as a role model for women. She could be the antidite who can erase the lingering sour taste left by Tara Conner. No way will that ever happen again. The MUO is beginning to confront many issues hounding it from its selection process to its very relevance in an ever changing world. Like any private org, it has to introspect and change with growing market demand.

I think we have to understand the political ramifications of recent controversies and the corporate amends the MUO have undertaken in recent months. Take note of the winning of MS RACHEL SMITH, and what the article below is trying to insinuate for us to be able to understand how MUO will eventually select MS UNIVERSE 2007. Of course the traditional events will still be there -- gown and swim suit performances and seeming emphasis on physical beauty alone -- but there will be major adjsutments that will surprise us.

Afterall, the MUO is trying to adjust itself to changing times. For its continued survival or to make itself relevant in the midst of changing times (and viewpoints and perspectives on beauty pageants) they have no other recourse but to adjust. Check out this article I clipped.

MEXICO CITY - This year's Ms/ Universe Pageant is missing one of its most noted contestants: Miss Sweden, a statuesque blonde whose country is one of the few to win the crown three times. Isabel Lestapier Winqvist, 20, has dropped out because Swedes say the Miss Universe competition, airing live Monday night from Mexico City's National Auditorium, is degrading to women and weighed down by scandals.
"We're taking a big beating by being linked to it," said Panos Papadopoulos, the organizer of the Miss Sweden contest, which scrapped its swimsuit competition and allowed women to apply for the position like any other job after heavy criticism from feminists.
Participants in the pageant also are breaking the mold.
Miss Jamaica, 25-year-old Zahra Redwood, is the contest's first Rastafarian and the first to appear in dreadlocks. She wants judges to see her as a "Rastafarian promoting the message of peace, love and unity throughout mankind."
Miss Tanzania, Flaviana Matata, an electrical technician whose country is participating for the first time, is also challenging stereotypes of beauty with her shaved head. "I never let anyone define me neither by hair nor clothing as I believe God made me perfect as a pure, natural African woman," she said.
Donald Trump, who now co-owns the contest with NBC, says the Miss Universe Organization has redefined beauty pageants.
"With each passing year our ratings continue to get better because of the beautiful and intelligent women who participate in our competitions," he declared.
But the Miss Universe competition is still judged solely on an interview and swimsuit and evening gown competitions, continuing a tradition that began with a spat over a swimsuit more than 50 years ago. California's Pacific Mills clothing company launched the

Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants after the 1951

Miss America, Yolande Betbeze, refused to pose in its swimsuit.
Miss Universe is considered a wilder rival to Miss America, which offers scholarships and values its talent contest more than its swimsuit competition. Other than

Vanessa Williams, who stepped down in 1984 after Penthouse published her nude photographs, Miss America has had relatively few scandals. But risque photos and public drunkenness have increasingly landed Miss USA and Miss Universe contestants in the tabloids.
Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees was dethroned from this year's competition after her racy pictures emerged on the Web. Miss New Jersey USA Ashley Harder resigned when she got pregnant. And before Tara Conner handed her crown to the latest Miss USA, Tennessee journalism graduate Rachel Smith, the telecast opened with a string of news clips about Conner entering rehab for boozing at New York clubs.
Even the outfits in this year's contest have raised eyebrows.
Miss Mexico Rosa Maria Ojeda was forced to change her gown to a fruit-and-vegetables motif after Mexicans were outraged by the bullet-studded belt and images of hanging bodies and firing squads in her skirt's original design, which referred to the bloody Cristero war, a Roman Catholic rebellion in the 1920s. Miss Jamaica donned a Bob Marley T-shirt to honor her country's culture, while Miss Ecuador, Lugina Cabezas, appeared holding a fake, bloodstained banderilla, a colorful barbed stick stuck in the back of bulls during bullfighting, outraging animal rights groups.
Organizers say the Miss Universe contest carefully selects women who are intelligent, well-mannered and cultured, and dispute the notion that beauty queens are clueless about international issues. The pageant's Web site notes that Miss Universe 2000, Mpule Kwelagobe, helped build a 400-bed pediatric

AIDS hospital and orphanage in her native Botswana, while Miss Universe 1981 Irene Saez of Venezuela went on to become mayor of a municipality and later ran as president, losing to President Hugo Chavez in 1998.
"We do change with the times," said Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization. "It really opens doors for people. It's nice for us to pick somebody who is not known, give them a shot and change their life forever."
Sweden is a three-time Miss Universe winner, behind only the United States, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. But Papadopoulos, owner of the Panos Emporio brand swimsuits which in 2004 bought the rights to the Miss Sweden contest, said Trump's pageant doesn't fit with Miss Sweden's new, more professional image.
"The modernization of the international competition has been significantly slower than the Swedish contest, although we see signs of change on the horizon," Papadopoulos said.
Miss Universe organizers took it in stride. "We will miss you," Papadopoulos said they told him by e-mail, "and we will miss Miss Sweden."

We all know what's bugging us. It's Tere not getting into the semifinals on May 28th. Seriously, I'm saddened and frustrated with what's going on not with Tere's performance but by the way Bb. Pilipinas has been handling our bets. There must be somebody - more effectively the past queens themselves (Maricar, Gionna, Lian, etc.) who should have the guts to stand up and say that training in Colombia is pointless and does no one good but Murillo and Barazza themselves. Can anyone be brave enough to face Mrs. Araneta then?

Dyan Castillejo . host of Sports Unlimited is covering the pageant for her homw network ABS CBN. She filed a report from Mexico City lastshowcasing an exclusive video feed of the swimsuit competition at last night's preliminaries.

Among the most applauded delegates she mentions were Mexico, Italy, Japan, Nicaragua and Korea. She added that not to be outdone the Phils' Tere Licaros also strutted like a pro during the ss segment last night.

There was also a brief interview of Tere's mom. She apparently is now in Mexico City as there is a scene where she and Dyan are photographed walking on a busy Mexico City street. Tere's mom says Tere's best asset would have to be her intelligence and that by this virtue, she expected Tere to be noticed right away by the preliminary judges. Also she added that Tere has worked on her figure for the ss competition and that the hopes the judges will also take note of that.

There is a brief video of Tere's turn on center stage during the swimsuit competition. While compared to the more prepared delegates like Mexico, Japan , Korea who really glided with pizzazz and sex appeal down the ramp (as shown on the TV Patrol report), Tere's cat walk was more 'tame' (for lack of a more diplomatic word!) but that is just my personal opinion knowing I really dont have any vague idea of what the judges were looking for last night and how they would score each of the 77 delegates.

Anyhow, call me a beleiver but despite all these talk about Tere's high odds of making the grade, I still hope to hear the Philippines being called for top 15 on Monday evening. So eat your hearts out non beleivers. If this doesnt happen, well Plan 2 for me (a plan that has been in the drawing line for eternity considering the Philippine Miss Universe drought) is to move on with the rest of my summer and yes life because after all there is always next year to look forward to.

So "Cest la vie!"

BEST IN EVENING GOWN: INDONESIA - This girl drew a big splash in the prelims, her gown was just fine but she was very fierce and unstoppable, I love her commanding stage presence, her snap turns were genious, gosh I really never thought Agni could walk like that infact I've watched her prelim videos a hundred times. Her poses and catwalk skill? marvelous! Now considering that alone, she astoundingly debuted in my top 15 Final list. Whether she places in the actual line-up or not, she'll always be remembered as a catwalk diva! bravo!

2nd place: ITALY - Here's another surprise.. Italy, after the prelims, had turned out to be a major contender, this girl's a threat! just like Laurianne Gillieron last year, she managed to make her simple yellow gown look terrific! Kudos Valentina!!

3rd place: PUERTO RICO - Dang!! first thing is I love the gown, reminds me of Tara Conner's dress at Miss USA and second, her presentation, that was simply dramatic, the slow pacing at the beginning and as she progressed her walk forward was simply amazing!

4th place: ANGOLA - welcome back Micaela, after seeing her prelim videos, now I know who she reminds me of...it's Candace Allen! I love her hair here, possibly the best from Africa!

5th place: JAPAN - And who could ever forget Riyo Mori? holy moly she stormed the stage! she's absolutely right up there!! I'm speechless!!

Honorable Finalists: 6. Korea 7. Belize 8. Argentina 9. USA 10. Denmark
11. Guatemala 12. Greece 13. South Africa
14. Venezuela 15. Dominican Republic

There you go, how I wish this year's pageant will add this award in the final telecast, I'll be very thrilled if Indonesia will walk away with the actual trophy...so any thoughts guys? I would love to read your comments!

Coming up next: The BEST in SWIMSUIT Award and the ANNOUNCEMENT of my FINAL LIST of Top 15!!!

hindi naman susugal ng ganun ang lopezes lalo na kung wala sila mapapala kung kukunin nila ang rights ng Miss Universe, bussiness is bussiness, ika nga, may politics bang nagyayari between Lopezes and Trump;s Organization?

Move the natl pageant to an earlier date to give time for the crowned queens, particulary the Miss Universe rep to prepare for the pageant. The current one-two months preps does not work. The short time to prepare is like cramming for a major exam the night before with dismal results.

Make dance or even yoga sessions as part of the queens' training for theit intl competitions. Dance would flex their bodies and teach them to move gracefully not to mention a good cardio workout too. Yoga can help the queens relax , which they can apply in the intense competitions abroad.

Time management. Training should start from Day 1 after they are crowned. No waste of time. The way I see it right now, the girls are first required to attend language classes of the pageant host country. This I find a waste of time as knowing the language and be conversant with it does not give one that long run advantage. Training emphases should be individualized for each winner. They should asses each winner's strong points - reinforce it and make it stronger. On the other hand, weak points need to be corrected. Speaking of correction, the option of cosmetic surgery should be left open for the winners. Aesthetic surgery is the wave of the future not only in pageants but in today's real world.

Lastly, we need a more hands on pageant director. One that truly cares for Philippine pageantry. One who will always be there for the winners from the day they were selected as an official candidate to the night they will relinquish there crown and even after. A more one on one approach could spell the difference. Video conferencing, phone patch conversations and relegating of tasks does not seem to work for our Bbs if the stories behind the scnes were to be believed.

Changes does not happen overnight. rome wasnt built on one day. Let's all take positive baby steps starting right now and then expect a ripe harvest.

Just my two cents worth of commentary.

Date Posted: 08:39:26 05/24/07 Thu

Critical Beauty asked five individuals to select the most photogenic candidate in this year's Miss Universe contest. The judges are:

- Eric Bean, a renowned beauty and fashion photographer from New York City
- Tom Hawkins, a well-known beauty and fashion photographer from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
- Héctor Colón González, pageant promoter and director of Belleza Crítica from Puerto Rico
- Marcelo Cedeño, pageant promoter and director of Bellezas Ecuatorianas from Ecuador
- David Natanawan, pageant promoter from the Philippines


The judges were asked to analyze the official headshot of each of the 77 delegates, and time permitting, the judges were given the option to check out the swimsuit and evening gown photos. Then, each judge had to select his ten favorite delegates and to give each delegate a score between 7.50 (lowest) and 10.00 (highest). It seems that judging was not easy, specially to Eric Bean who commented, "There were alot of very beautiful women this year. I choose women who stood out as having a 'classic beauty' as I see it. Many, if not all, of my picks could make a career in modeling, in my opinion."

Based on the final tabulation, Miss Venezuela Ly Jonaitis accumulated the most number of points. Tom Hawkins remarks, "Hands down I believe Ly Jonaitis Miss Venezuela deserves the Award for Miss Photocritical Beauty award. Her countenance is truly stunning revealed though a captivating and gripping essence that literally pours out of the photo."

Twenty-eight delegates made the list of at least one judge. Here are the final results:


1. LY JONAITIS (Venezuela) - 37.26 points
2. DOUKISSA NOMIKOU (Greece) - 29.7 points
3. ALBANIA (Sadina Alla) - 28.34 points
4. USA (Rachel Smith) - 27.55 points
5. SPAIN (Natalia Zabala) - 19.53 points
6. TATIANA KOTOVA (Russia) - 18.95 points
7. TSAJA KOKALJ (Slovenia) - 18.71 points
8. HONEY LEE (Korea) - 18.47 points
9. TEODORA MARCIC (Serbia) - 18.25 points
10. ANNA THERESA LICAROS (Philippines) - 17.49 points
11. VERONICA GONZALEZ (Costa Rica) - 17.4 points
12. XIOMARA BLANDINO (Nicaragua) - 17.3 points
13. PUJA GUPTA (India) - 17.25 points
14. CHRISTA RIGOZZI (Switzerland) - 17.19 points
15. ROSA MARIA OJEDA (Mexico) - 16.5 points
15. ALIDA BOER (Guatemala) - 16.5 points
16. RIYO MORI (Japan) - 9.95 points
17. DOROTA GAWRON (Poland) - 9.25 points

I'm sure the big questions in all our minds right now is whether Tere made the final cut or not?

Hard to say really from an armchair judge view. Many of us including myself express cautious reservations about her chances - again judging from the featured videos at the Miss Universe site. But then I and i'm sure all reading this have been wrong before - so it aint really over until the fat lady sings.

I guess it would be four long sleepless nights of waiting for all of us. The results have been in now the agony of waiting starts....

Watch closely the girls prominently featured onstage. They include Japan (front and center), Mexico, Paraguay, Puerto Rico and China among others. I think a couple of these girls were chosen for these vantage stage positions for a reason. See if you can spot where they placed Tere.

Thoughts on Tere in this video. Very subdued rather inhibited catwalk as if she's not letting loose and all compared to the veterans. In fairness she improved her catwalk from the last time she walk on stage at Bb.

Have the Bb. Pilipinas search and finals moved to an earlier dat - at least 5-6 months before the actual Miss Universe pageant. This would give time for novice yet with great potential once given long preps and training queen like Tere to really shine internationally.

I think it's not a matter of us sending the wrong girls, but us sending half baked girls out in the battlefield. No, not throwing the towel yet, but I'm saying Tere is a great Philippines representative - articulate, brilliant, global in appeal but judging from what I saw in her ss and eg presentation show, she lacked the oomph and that magic called "X". In some angles, she looks nervous and unsure but nevertheless gave out her best and put up a good fight. If only she had more time to prepare with emphases on her admitted weakness in catwalk and ramp skills. But this is moot and academic now after last night's prelims.

We could only pray, hope and wish for the best. Everything in this world happens for a reason. In the end we could only look back at 2007 and say it was good when it lasted.

Maybe just maybe by a stroke of luck she's going to be in Top 15. If she does then she's the true trouper that we all think she is.

Tere you did us proud in the last month. For all the inconsistencies, hard words that have been said to include destructive criticisms, I still think you are the best Philippine Miss Universe rep since Miriam Quiambao in 1999. I still want to see you parade in Top 15 this Monday.

Yes, I'm not ready to play the swan song just yet. And so do other true blue Filipino pageant fans.

A lot of people are claimoring about Anna's walk -that she didn't have enough "oomph" or "sex" into it. It doesn't matter if you have the best catwalk if the judges don't like you. A lot of people are also complaining about her gown. It's very lovely and it compliments her very well. Judging is subjective. Kurara's catwalk was awkward and her gown in the prelims -albeit haute -didn't compliment her at all...and look where she ended up! So, stop the bitching and applaud our delegate.

The Swarovski crystals on her gown really glittered on stage. And she carried it well. Heard she did very well during the interview, too. She started her 30-seconds presentation with "In 30 seconds, I could tell you 10 things about me...." And with this, she got the judges' attention and even made them laugh.

Hope Kirby makes it to the Top 15.

Ang layo nang ganda nang gown nang Miss Colombia at Tere's gown parang material nang sofa. sayang na sayang talaga. itaguyod na matanggal ang Miss Universe sa BBPI!

Honestly, my first impression of the gold gown was not that good, but when close up photos of it were released from the Miss Universe website, the details of the gown actually make it much more better. I was really hoping that she would wear the gold one for the prelims, so we can all see the impact of it on stage and how the beads reacted with the stage lighting. BUt between the red and the gold, I hope she goes with the gold one for the finals.......I know she will make it! Good luck Tere!

Date Posted: 00:08:40 05/24/07 Thu

HONG Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, and Trump Organization of New York-based developer Donald Trump, are vying for a piece of land at the Bonifacio Global City, the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) said.

Narciso Abaya, president of state-run BCDA, said the two groups have expressed interest in a 1.2-hectare property at the former military base.

In a recent presentation before the agency’s board, the Shangri-La group’s vice-president, Greg Dogan, proposed building a six-star luxury hotel, Abaya said.

BCDA and the Trump group, meanwhile, held a video conference to discuss prospects for the same piece of land, the official added.

Both parties, however, were still noncommittal as to their plans.

Aloysius Santos, BCDA chairman, said. “No decision has been made. The BCDA board is mapping out an action plan for a transparent competitive selection process among the interested proponents,” he said.

Abaya said that the signified interest of both Shangri-La and the Trump group manifests sustained investor confidence in the country. “Bonifacio Global City is a strategic location that is minutes away from the Makati and Ortigas Central Business Districts, the airport and major thoroughfares like C-5,” he said.

He said The Fort now has a lot of world-class infrastructure, which include an underground drainage detention structure with the capacity to hold 22 million liters of water and release it under controlled conditions to prevent floods. It also has a fiber optic cabling network to support a wide range of telephone, video and data applications.

“With the current pace of investments taking place, the development of the Global City will be the showcase of world-class edifices and services, gearing it to be one of Asia’s leading business and mixed used district,” he said.

Global Beauties' so-called Paparazzo (which I think it's Henrique Fontes himself doing it judging by the way he mentions and then downplays Miss Brazil so as not to be obvious), did not mention anything about Tere's chances at all (the reason may probably be, again, obvious). However, another Venezuelan (not Mexican) eyewitness to the closed door interview has this to say (some standpoint similarities with few exceptions) -

ENGLISH TRANSLATION)
"At the closed door interview with the girls wearing "tiny" bikinis: "Tanzania did not look good in swimsuit. On the other hand the representatives of GREECE, USA, JAPAN, POLAND, BRAZIL, CANADA, VENEZUELA, THAILAND and SPAIN shone impeccably in both presentations and is almost safe to say that their names will be mentioned the 28th of MAY. ECUADOR, PARAGUAY, PUERTO RICO and MISS PANAMA also received positive praises, others like PERU, RUSSIA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, SLOVAK REPUBLIC and MISS REP did not impress so much as was believed. Finally, SERBIA, ITALY, PHILIPPINES, SWITZERLAND, AUSTRALIA, INDIA, CZECH REPUBLIC, and DENMARK with a little luck could get to be included in the top 15."

Could this mean Tere is at the tail end of the probable semis list?

It may sound exciting to all of us but I think putting some interesting hues like NBC is favoring her to win or something along these lines is just too much I'd think.

Let's just downplay things for now.It's almost arosy outlook for Tere breaking in Top 15 but let us not forget we are like these every year - hoping , optimisitc, in high spirits expecting our bets to do good - but in the end our hopes are dashed and we end up disappointed. It is getting to be a viscious cycle.

The deciding preliminaries starts in a few hours in Mexico City. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best as had since the more than three decades we had our last Miss Universe winner. Let's all sit back and relax and yes enjoy the show!

Good luck to you Tere!

Consider these Mabuhay readers :

Number of delegates are significantly dropping from a high of 90s in the past to just 77 this year. To make it even more sad, a number of confirmed Miss Universe 07 delegates for various reasons failed to arrive for the competition.

The so called standard events have not been that glitzy and glamarous occasions like in the past. Examples of which are :

- National Gift Auction was done in a Mexican restaurant with the delegates wearing casual T shirts provided by pageant sponsors and denim pants.

Used to be the National Gift Auction at Miss Universe was a formal, elegant event that delegates always looked forward to. Delegates would be dressed in elegant, glittery gowns to showcase their country's gifts.

- National Costume Parade for the first time in Miss Universe's fifty six history was done in an outdoor setting.

Traditionally, the National Costume Parade have been held indoors, usually in the final night's venue. For some reason this year, the organizers decided to hold it in the middle of a well known Mexican plaza open for public viewing. This after an earlier change of original venue.

There will be no Coronation Ball in honor of the Miss Universe 2007 winner and her runner ups and other placers. The Coronation Ball was an event many people looked forward to - from organizers, delegates and their families, pageant staff, media, national directors and their groupies look forward to. The ball was a time for them to unwind and celebrate officially the end of the pageant season, but alas this have been scrapped this year.

Creative but long time coming idea from Miss Universe Org to raise pageant revenue is their curtailing of release of delegates photos from the Miss Universe Press Site.

This year, the MU Organization has started a photo for a fee service where photos of favorite delegates can be brought by a reasonable charge. This move has limited the release and use of delegate photos by the media with access to the press site at the official Miss Universe Website.

With all these obvious changes going on at Miss Universe, I wonder what they will come up to raise the revenue ante for next year? Hopefully not let the delegates pay for their own hotel accomodations. That would really be dreadful. LOL!!
