Popular pageant expert Norman Tinio has seen the 75 videos of the candidates for the Miss Universe Philippines Runway Challenge, and he is simply impressed with this batch!
But there's one video that stood out for Norman. His full post on Facebook:
"After watching through 75 videos for the Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Runway Challenge, I think most everyone will agree with me that the entry submitted by Steffi Pearson Aberasturi of Cebu Province is a standout. From the location to the music to the breathtaking drone shots and to the presence of this Cebuana who made a pasarela that commanded attention. Talk about slaying, she nailed this one almost effortlessly," Norman said.
Norman also praised four other candidates in the Runway Challenge.
Simone Nadine Bornilla: "She may only be 18 years young, but Simone Nadine Bornilla is showing a lot of potentials in a sea of #Top75 Official Delegates for Miss Universe Philippines. Her runway challenge video is an effort of love that her represented province of Marinduque should be proud of."
Victoria Velasquez Vincent: "Now this lady delivered when it mattered the most. She is meant to shine in the Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Runway Challenge. With those long legs that stretch for days and an aura that captures both sweet and fierce in every turn, I applaud you Victoria Velasquez Vincent of Cavite."
Maria Ingrid Santamaria: "Before my very eyes, this representative of Paranaque City in Miss Universe Philippines 2021 is continuously transforming - from a laid-back, free-spirited young lady to a national pageant aspirant and now, a part of the #Top75 who is gunning for greater impact in the competition. Maria Ingrid Teresita Santamaria or Sam Santamaria is up for more challenges after the runway video below where she poured her heart and soul (and some tears) into."
