Maxine is very beautiful, sexy, and has a very sweet demeanor. She has one of the best faces in the pageant and she looks very regal and winnable. Maxine came prepared come pageant night. I love her in the opening number and in the swimsuit competition. I also liked that she decided to put her hair down in the finals. She is not the best girl compared to other standouts and I was actually a bit worried when she was not called \u0026amp; crowned earlier. I am okay that she is our Miss Universe Philippines but I also believed that she was not the best at the Finals. Her evening gown was not nice; I personally don't like the ribbon and the color.

She was good in swimsuit, had a to die for gown and presentation, and she was very articulate and eloquent in the Q\u0026amp;A. She was the best girl of the night and she deserved the top prize. However - I also know that the judging, deliberation, and assignment of crowns and titles are based on who will be the best representative of our country in the international competitions.

She was also the Best in Swimsuit - which I didn't notice much to be honest - and she had a very nice Emerald Green gown made by Mark Bumgarner. Jennifer Hammond is the dark horse of the competition. I did not place her but I must admit that she really shone in the Finals with her very nice styling and Evening Gown which turned to be the best of the night. The Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown nods for Joanna and Jennifer are one of the reasons that made them win the crowns.

Nicole Cordoves gave a \"just good\" performance in the finals and was not as awesome as Jennifer and Joanna who each aced the swimsuit and evening gown segments. I also placed Nicole lower in my prediction but seeing her in the post-win interviews made me want to give her (at least) the Intercontinental crown.

I personally liked her in the swimsuit competition but I think that her Leo Almodal gown and Q\u0026amp;A were not really good compared to the rest.

Nichole Manalo with her sweet and nice demeanor probably deserved the International crown better than Maria but she is can no longer compete because of age limitations. Miss International is KF's turf and Maria is the next best candidate next to Nichole. I really hope that she will win this crown. Threats to this crown are Nicole Cordovez and Kylie Verzosa (still).\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\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\/26193024070\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" nbsp=\"\" title=\"31-Kylie Versoza\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"31-Kylie Versoza\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1451\/26193024070_856d290417_z.jpg\" width=\"439\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cscript async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\"\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EKylie Verzosa\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI was hoping that Kylie will be given \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.abbiereal.net\/2015\/03\/binibining-pilipinas-2015-bets.html\"\u003Eone of the runners up positions last year\u003C\/a\u003E so she can come back better and well-equipped this year.

The transformation of Nichole this year was very surprising and it made me realize how serious she is (and the whole Manalo family) on this pageant business. I knew from the get go that she will will surely win a crown and title this year. She is really good looking now and sexier compared to the last time. The International crown fits her perfectly but she is ineligible for it so I think she will get the Supranational or Intercontinental title.
