Mutya ng Pilipinas 2013 Fearless Forecast : Vena Openiano and Asdis Liza Karlsdottir | Photos

The pageant season has begun with the presentation of the 31 candidates for the 2013 Mutya ng Pilipinas. At first, I was tempted to feature all the girls in this site but most bloggers have already posted about it. You could view them all here.

And since I want to be ahead of the pack, I am issuing my fearless forecast for the country's premiere beauty contest, which would culminate on July 26 at the NBC Tent, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

Two winners are to be selected in this pageant: One to compete for the 2013 Miss Intercontinental title. The other for the 2013/2014 Miss Tourism International crown.

 Well, I am no expert but am also not clueless. My “gut feel” told me that Venus Raj and Bianca Manalo would represent the Philippines at the Miss Universe pageant. And history absolved me!

Forecasts maybe as untrustworthy as weather predictions, but the odds are in my favor. One of my bet, Vena Openiano (of Laguna), has recently won the swimsuit competition! Her morena skin exudes the perfect Filipina beauty - Pinay na Pinay para sa mga Pinoy!

The other - Asdis Liza Karlsdottir (a global Pinay representing the Pinoy community in Iceland) - is a favorite in social media circles (though the Internet has so little info about her!). We promise to do a post about her for our dear readers, after some research, of course. She won the "People's Choice Award" with 19,156 likes in social networking sites!

Good luck to all the Mutya ng Pilipinas 2013 contestants! Here are photos of the girls' Puerto Princesa Underground river tour (click to enlarge)!
