BINIBINING PILIPINAS CROWNS 2012 WINNERS

Familiar faces were abound the Binibining Pilipinas 2012 pageant as some of the contestants were part of previous year's competitions. Never mind that because the level of competition was fierce this year and the deserving ones took home the crowns.

Last year's runner-up Janina Tugonon grabbed this year's biggest prize - the Binibining Pilipinas Universe crown. She bested the rest of the girls with her brand of elegance, beauty and wit. It also shows us that if we really want something, we should persevere and never give up. She lost in 2011 and came back this year stronger, more determined. As a result, she came on top.

Binibining Pilipinas - International was awarded to Nicole Schmitz who I think had one of the best answers in the Q&A portion. The Binibining Pilipinas - Tourism crown was given to Katrina Jayne Dimaranan who showed beauty and confidence in the entire show.

Congratulations to the ladies and may they find success in their respective international pageants.
