Patrizia Bosco, Glennifer Perido and Cristine Racel: sure to take the top-tier placements in Mutya ng Pilipinas 2014? (Photo credit: Melvia Sia for OPMB Worldwide)
Right from the announcement of Official Candidates of Mutya ng Pilipinas 2014, it became quite evident that three ladies in particular will serve as the tentpoles of this batch – the contenders many pageant fans expect to take the steering wheel and drive the competition to brighter heights. But can they really live up to the hype?
As far as Patrizia Lucia Bosco is concerned, getting the Darling of the Press award during the Presentation could be a good sign of things to come, following the logic “If the media coverage people are giving their halo of consideration, then she must really be special.” And her mentor John dela Vega could be laughing all the way to the throne that her gorgeous ward has not been “swayed” by another camp.
And Glennifer Perido? If pageant experience is to be used as the barometer for success, then she already has it in the bag. There is simply no way that this girl from the Cordilleras will allow others to outshine her moment. And she knows how to play the game, hook-line-and sinker.
Then there is Cristine Cheeny Racel – the fair-skinned Olongapo native who many initially thought would fight for Miss World Philippines 2014 instead. There is a very confident vibe in this lady, especially that she has already represented the Philippines in the international pageant stage a couple of years back.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the best Mutya of all?
Will this troika of “Mutyas” sweep the competition and deny the wide-eyed first-timers and enthusiastic overseas bets a chance to even get a striking distance to the crown? It’s really all up to Patrizia, Glennifer and Cristine. As the popular line goes, “the crown is theirs to lose“. ;-)
