Binibini 1 Samantha Balbin and Binibini 25 Rogelie Catacutan: who’s floating your boat between the two? (Photo credit: Joy Arguil)
As Binibini 1, Samantha Balbin takes the lead in roll calls and stage entrances. And she has the responsibility of wowing everyone instantly. Binibini 25 Rogelie Catacutan, on the other hand, has the luxury of taking some sweet time before appearing in all her beautiful glory. But numbers are beside the point. Regardless of who comes out first or later, the more important thing is who will be the outstanding candidate.
And in this face-off, I’d have to give it to the Cebuana hands down. Rogelie has been showing the way, together with the perceived favorites. Samantha, on the other hand, can be looked at as coasting along with modest progress.
If Samantha is the image of innocence, Rogelie is the picture of tempered class
Handler Jontie Martinez will be most happy if his ward Samantha gets to advance to the semi-finals at least. KF Cebu’s Jonas Borces, for his part, would love – more than anything else – for Rogelie to take home a Bb. Pilipinas crown on March 15.
Whose wish will likely be granted? Kanang ikaduha. :-)
