Here are individual shots of the beauty queens that I saw at the Red Carpet cocktails and backstage during the historic Bb. Pilipinas 50th anniversary beauty pageant. There are Queens in photos #4, #5 and #10 that I failed to identify… I can’t seem to remember their names (senior moment?) If you know them, please leave a comment below.
I just want to take this moment to thank all of you who love and support our Filipina beauty queens. Thanks for the wild applause during the Queens Parade! The final set of queens from the 60s and 70s got the loudest applause but not as loud as the thunderous welcome Gloria Diaz received when she came out!
BTW, this is not a complete collection of Queens who paraded on stage during Bb. Pilipinas Gold but they are the ones that I saw and had the opportunity to photograph that night. The funniest thing was that I was SO busy taking photos of the Queens that I completely forgot to take a photo of myself so I had to ‘borrow’ OPMB Worldwide‘s Red Carpet shot of me. To OPMB Worldwide, I cropped it so it would fit in my collage format, I hope it’s okay…
