Vanessa Saliba, barely 21 and a Bb. Pilipinas second-timer
You remember Vanessa Saliba, right? She was Binibini 37 during Bb. Pilipinas 2014 who surprised pageant watchers when – at 18 and still an independent applicant – made it to that year’s roster. That was more than a handful of experience for this young lass who just celebrated her debut months before going into the nationals.
Fast forward to 2017, and Vanessa returns to the field – more mature and stunningly beautiful at 21. As part of Aces & Queens Class of 2017, she was singled out by many during the Presentation Show as possessing one of the loveliest faces in the group. It amuses me to recall that a group of straight guys who watched the mock pageant unanimously picked her as one of their top choices. And I couldn’t agree more because she is indeed a refreshing presence especially when I approached her for some small talk then.
Vanessa will join the beeline for BPCI before Friday, along with her camp sisters. And I am positive that she will have a second serving of Bb. Pilipinas on her plate very soon! 
Will 2nd time be a charm for Vanessa in Bb. Pilipinas?
