She was under the radar for weeks despite being the multi-awarded Miss Bicolandia of 2017. We noticed her (like all the other fans) just last Sunday at the Binibining Pilipinas Road To The Crown primer. Kayesha demonstrated beauty, grace, good communication skills, and a nice register. A \u003Cb\u003EBinibining Pilipinas Intercontinental \u003C\/b\u003Ecrown will best fit her.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/40824405952\/in\/datetaken-public\/\" nbsp=\"\" title=\"Aya Abesamis\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Aya Abesamis\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/795\/40824405952_9c84a54891_z.jpg\" width=\"492\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nWe are not really fans of \u003Cb\u003EAya Abesamis\u003C\/b\u003E, but we all know that she will NOT be winless come coronation night.
