“One lesson in
life that women can teach men is being sensitive. Men are more logical when it
comes to decisions. They’re rational and straightforward. Unlike women, we use
our hearts and we tend to get emotional when we make our decisions. Sensitivity
is something that we women can teach to men.”
Ariella Arida,
Miss Universe Philippines 2013
After 37 years, the University of the Philippines in
Los Banos (UPLB) produced another beauty and brains combined queen as its
chemistry graduate, Ariella Arida, edged out 49 other candidates in the
Binibining Pilipinas 2013 Pageant.
The university cheered on as Arida
rose towards becoming the night’s queen–much the same when Lizbeth Samson de
Padua was crowned Bb. Pilipinas in 1976.
Much pressure is added with the
winning streak of the past three years which saw the country’s representatives
to the most prestigious beauty pageant in the Top 5 finish. Venus Raj won
fourth runner-up in the 2010, Shamcey Supsup who won third runner-up in 2011,
and Janine Tugonon who won first runner-up in Las Vegas in December last year.
“I know there
will be so much pressure on me. But I will do my best,” Arida said.
