Your Binibini 15 of Bb. Pilipinas 2015 is now the Binibini 14 of Bb. Pilipinas 2016. What does the slight change in pin number indicate? Nothing much. But what big changes did 25 year-old Paula Rich Bartolome transform herself into this year. Quite a lot. She has really lost weight, added a lot more glam in her aura and looks to be dead serious in nailing one of the crowns, if not the big title she is gunning for.
Paula, who made the big switch from Aces & Queens to KF, is definitely up for some tough competition. But she remains unperturbed – more excited actually. She wants to prove something to herself and the legion of #PowerPau fans and followers supporting her bid.
Let us now look at how Binibini 14 is putting the fight in her own words.
It has always been my dream to become a Bb. Pilipinas Titleholder. It’s not new to everyone that I’ve tried my luck last year but I guess that edition wasn’t the right time for me. It made me strive harder and I am fortunate enough to have been given another chance.
Having been part of Binibining Pilipinas 2015, I was able to observe how it is to be IN THE COMPETITION. Complancency and Mediocrity are not options. You should be physically, mentally and spiritually prepared. You should always be ready for the battle because there are many surprises in Bb. Pilipinas. I realized that they are searching for a WOMAN, not just your any other girl type. With all the trainings support and realizations I’ve gained, I am ready for the crown. I AM NOW A WOMAN WITH FULL POTENTIALS.
I came more prepared this year. I started training September of last year. KF (Kagandahang Flores) pushed me to be the best I can be and it made me know myself better. I realized my worth – same with all the lovely girls competing this year. Support from friends, family and even to some loving people I haven’t met yet is overwhelming.
I know and feel that God has a good plan for me this year. For the Glory of God, I claim the crown of BB. PILIPINAS 2016.
Bold words from a more confidently-marked Paula Rich Bartolome. And I love it when a candidate shows her strong will and driven attitude from start to finish.
Are you earmarking her for the big win in 2016? :-)
