Trisha Martinez of Laguna and Anna Lakrini of Bataan Province have emerged as the top picks for this year’s Binibining Pilipinas International and Binibining Pilipinas Globe crowns, based on the frontrunners list of established beauty pageant observers.
Missosology, a well-known beauty pageant platform which analyzes contenders and numerous beauty contests, named Martinez and Lakrini as its frontrunners out of the pageant’s 40 candidates, via its Facebook page on Thursday, May 25.
“So far, the consensus among missosologists is that Miss Laguna Trisha Martinez will walk away with the biggest prize,” it said. “The 25 year old dentist is so far the best among the 40 candidates. Indeed, her beauty and poise is Miss International material based on the latest trends at the pageant.”
“Anna Lakrini, meanwhile, is best suited for the Miss Globe,” it added. “She is 25 years old with a striking beauty and a statuesque figure. She is also multilingual and can speak Filipino, English and German.”
