Following the success of Shamcey Supsup (Miss Universe 2011 3rd Runner Up), Dianne Necio (Miss International Top 15 Semifinalist) and Isabella Manjon, Bb. Pilipinas 2012 was out to proved that they are out to find the combination of beauty, wit and grace to represent the country in the international pageants. This year, Binibining Pilipinas is responsible for sending representatives to Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Tourism Queen International and for the first time, Miss Supranational.
Bb. Pilipinas 2012 Winners: (From L-R) 2nd Runner Up Ali Forbes, Bb. Pilipinas International Nicole Schmitz, Miss Universe Philippines Janine Tugonon, Bb. Pilipinas Tourism Katrina Dimaranan, Miss Supranational Philippines (Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up) Elaine Kay Moll.Schmitz competed in the 2012 Miss International pageant, Tugonon to compete on December 19 on the Miss Universe 2012 in Las Vegas while Dimaranan is the 2nd Miss Tourism Queen International representative of BPCI in China. Elaine Kay Moll, Bb. Pilipinas 2012 1st Runner Up was appointed as Miss Supranational Philippines.
Let's get to know how your queens from Bb. Pilipinas place:
JANINE MARI RAYMUNDO TUGONONNational Title: Miss Universe Philippines
Competition: Miss Universe 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada
Placement: 1st Runner Up (behind Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo)
She may be one of those bashed winners after she won the Miss Universe Philippines title by April but yet she did not dwell on what others were saying, she went out to improve herself to get ready for Miss Universe 2012.
She stood out in Las Vegas and shined, being hailed the 1st Runner Up of the said competition. She gave the Philippines three consecutive Miss Universe Top 5 placements (I'm really hoping we get the crown next time). ;)
NICOLE SCHMITZCompetition Date: October 21 in Japan
Placement: Miss International 2012 Top 15
When she joined Bb. Pilipinas 2007, she was already a semifinalist at her age 18 and with vast improvements during a 5 year span, including trainings from the camp of Rodgil Flores (who mentored the likes of Miss International 2005 Precious Lara Quigaman, Miss International 2008 SF Patricia Fernandez and Miss International 2011 SF Dianne Necio among others), she was one of the favorites to win the Bb. Pilipinas 2012 pageant.
During the Miss International 2012 pageant in Okinawa, Japan, she managed to impress the crowd with her beauty and brains. She was a part of the Miss International Top 15, maintaining the record of the Philippines by placing on the Top 15 since 2008. The pageant was won by Ikumi Yoshimatsu, who succeeded Ecuador's Maria Fernanda Cornejo as Miss International 2012.
KATRINA JAYNE DIMARANAN Bb. Pilipinas Tourism
Competition Date: Rescheduled for the First Quarter of 2013
(Miss Tourism Queen International 2012)
I'm really one of those pageant fans disappointed that Katrina's MTQI 2012 pageant was rescheduled to next year, but then again, it is more time to prepare right? The youngest among the Binibining Pilipinas winners, Kat dazzled judges and audience during the Binibining Pilipinas pageant thus the Binibining Pilipinas Tourism crown.
She is the country's representative to Miss Tourism Queen International, the second being sent by BPCI after Isabella Manjon for the right to succeed Kantapat Peeradachainarin as MTQI 2012
ELAINE KAY MOLL
Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up
Appointed as: Miss Supranational Philippines
Competition Date: September 15 in Poland
Placement: Miss Supranational 3rd Runner Up
While Binibining Pilipinas runners-up goes on trainings and other social functions, it does not guarantee an opportunity to banner the Philippines in an international competition abroad which is why when Madam Stella Araneta of BPCI appointed Bb. Pilipinas 1st Runner Up Elaine Kay Moll as the Philippine representative to Miss Supranational 2012 in Poland, the 21 year old basketball player turned beauty queen was nervous of joining and competing with a Philippine sash, nevertheless, she managed to pull it off and flew to Poland.
She never had a mileage of campaigning through the Miss Internet award as the Miss Supranational contest ask voters to pay for their votes. I guess it was her height, beauty and the things she did in Poland which made her stand out and be awarded as 3rd Runner Up.
I do not know if Elaine and Ali (Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner Up) would be competing for next year but in their previous interviews, they would like to give it a chance but not next year (oh well, it's too soon to tell, HONESTLY!)
Pageant Winners' Notes:
- Janine Tugonon was the 1st Runner Up of Bb. Pilipinas 2011
- Elaine Kay Moll was a Top 12 Semifinalist in Miss World Philippines 2011
- Nicole Schmitz was a Top 13 Semifinalist in Bb. Pilipinas 2007
QUEENIE REHMANMiss World Philippines 2012
Competition Date: August 18
Placement: Miss World Top 15 Semifinalist
Winning MWP 2012 seemed to be a hands-down for Queenie Rehman but it was not easy going to the Miss World 2012 competition where her predecessor, Miss World Philippines 2011 Gwendoline Ruais was 1st Princess. She managed to put up a good fight with the following achievements:
She was Miss World Top 15 Semifinalist, Top 10 in the World Fashion Designer Dress Award, Top 47 in Top Model, Top 5 in Talent and Top 40 in Beach Fashion. It was a decent finish following Gwendoline's success.
Pageant Winners' Notes:
- Queenie Rehman was a Binibining Pilipinas 2011 Semifinalist, winning the Best in Swimsuit Award
- Mary Ann Ross Misa was a Binibining Pilipinas 2010 Top 10 SF
- Vanessa Amman was Miss Cebu 2011 2nd runner-up and won Miss Friendship,Miss Marco Polo, Best in Runway
- April Love Jordan was Mutya ng Pilipinas 2006 2nd runner up, Miss Philippines Earth 2006 semifinalist and Bb. Pilipinas 2009 Top 10 semifinalist.

The 12th Edition of Miss Philippines Earth was held at Centerstage in Mall of Asia, Pasay City it was aligned with the 2012 declaration of the United Nations General Assembly as the "International Year of Sustainable Energy for All".
Miss Philippines Earth 2012 court: Mary Candice Ramos (Miss Philippines Eco-Tourism), Samantha Purvor (Miss Philippines Water), Stephany Stefanowitz (Miss Philippines-Earth), Glennifer Perido (Miss Philippines- Air), Thoreen Halvorsen (Miss Philippines- Fire).
STEPHANY DIANNE STEFANOWITZ
Miss Philippines Earth 2012
Competition: Miss Earth 2012
Date: November 24, 2012
Placement: Miss Earth-Air 2012 (1st Runner Up)
Proving to make most of the second chance, Stephany Stefanowitz was a head-turner in Miss Philippines-Earth 2012 and is actually my bet to win the whole MPE 2012. However, with the pageant finals of Miss Earth 2012 held in the Philippines, some Filipinos were saying: "sash factor" worked again when she was crowned as Miss Earth Air, behind Czech Republic's Tereza Fajksova. She managed to make a good run in Miss Earth's Fast-Track Events and I think her efforts were able to push her through the finals.
Pageant Winners' Notes:
- Stephany Stefanowitz represented Butuan City when she first joined Miss Philippines Earth in 2010 where she was a Runner-up.
- Glennifer Perido and Samantha Purvor were candidates of Binibining Pilipinas 2011, Purvor was Miss Friendship while Perido was unplaced. The pageant was won by Shamcey Supsup (Miss Universe Philippines), Isabella Manjon (Bb. Pilipinas Tourism) and Dianne Necio (Bb. Pilipinas International)
- Samantha Purvor also joined the Maiden Edition of Miss World Philippines 2011 where she was part of the Top 12. Gwendoline Ruais won the competition.
