The name Kylie Verzosa alone was more than enough to excite pageant fans and followers during Bb. Pilipinas 2015 when she was reported to be joining. And when she finally screened and qualified as Official Candidate, her popularity rose even more as different support groups united behind her bid. She became a favorite alright, and was considered one of the strongest bets to win a crown. Finals night came and she went on to become part of the Top 15. But when the eventual winners were announced, her name wasn’t called.
Many supporters were disappointed as a result. And some of them went on to encourage Kylie to give Miss World Philippines 2015 a try. But no dice. She has her sights transfixed on just Bb. Pilipinas. And after more than close to ten months after, the likelihood of joining the most prestigious national search is getting clearer by the day. Signing up has already started for this year’s edition. And if my sources are right, she will definitely be part of the large number of Aces & Queens entries just waiting in the wings for the much-anticipated screening schedules where all comers will be finally revealed.
I, for one, am very excited in seeing her compete once more. There’s nothing like gaining the important first-time experience last year. 2016 will show a stronger, fiercer, and more prepared version of Kylie Verzosa. It certainly won’t be a walk in the park. But by God, she is ready to pick up where she left off in 2015. And this time around, she is more than armed for battle. :-)
