Binibini 5 Caneille Faith Santos of Marilao, Bulacan and Binibini 16 Marvi Ann de Lima of Iriga City, Camarines Sur – who’s your choice? (Photo credit: Jhosh Rodriguez)
Binibini 5 Caneille Faith Santos is the Bulakenya from Marilao who caught the last train to Bb. Pilipinas 2015. She replaced the original qualifier Christine Balaguer due to reasons still un-press-released till now.
Binibini 16 Marvi Ann de Lima is the Iriga City native who was plucked out of her regional pageant turns by Gerry Diaz of Aces & Queens to train for and be fielded in the nationals.
And while some jaded pageant followers may dismiss this face-off as just a filler of presence and numbers, the two ladies here are actually strong-willed and diligent competitors who are capable of outshining some of the preferred ones who will be caught off-guard in the filtering process.
All Caneille wants is to leave a lasting impression in Bb. Pilipinas 2015 and hopefully place well. Marvi Ann wants to win for her home town and place in Bb. Pilipinas in this, her very first try.
And while the Bicolana is the type of Binibini whose beauty does not grab you in an instant, it grows on an observer in due time. Maybe in time for the all-important closed door selection of the semifinalists? ;-)
