"Perhaps  the  reason Binibining Pilipinas  sends our delegates to Colombia is because of the way
local designers have dressed up our  ladies  in  the  past. Think Jewel Lobaton, Aileen Damiles,
Chalrlene Gonzales. Need I say more?  Frumpy  clothing  for a world  class  event  is a definite no-no! Barraza doesn't always
gets it right. He too makes mis-takes."              ...Pageant Fan
Maricar  beams  with pride du- ring send off ceremonies at the Araneta   Center,   April  2004.
