How did they take this? I mean how did they choose these ladies? Body? Face? Just curious. . .
everything dude…
you missed a lot of beautiful women.. If that’s your taste, I respect.
sorry but there are others who are much more beautiful than those who are at 2-10. namely, rhian ramos, gwen zamora, sam pinto, kristin hermosa, kylie padilla and a lot more.but i agree that the most gorgeous is marian.
Haha! Nope. Only Kristine Hermosa (probably). I even think Liza should be higher…
Nah dude. 1-10 was perfect. Rhian’s face is too common she doesn’t even register in people’s memory.
i definitely agree that Marian Rivera is the most beautiful celebrity in the Philippines, but you’ve missed a lot of deserving actresses who would fit some of those spots.
Lol. I know you’re a gma fan (obviously) but seriously??? Naaah.. Any neutral male that is not a fan of any would definitely choose those from the top 10.
How did you know that? You only represent one self of a man, that is if you are a man hehe. They have only based it on popularity of the celebrities here. (obviously :))
Yeah, I would like to actually declare that Kapuso stars are more beautiful than those who are listed there. hehe Even Angel Locsin came from the same network. No one can stop me haha!
I would just like to know who rated these women? Because many of the other achievements of some here from previous years were not mentioned..
Liza Soberano should have been 1st. She was hailed as the 6th Most Beautiful Face in the World of 2015 by TC Candler’s Independent Critics list.. She was also hailed as the 2nd Most Beautiful Women of 2016 by Wonderlist and has earned the praise of many foreign celebrities, model scouts and designers such as James McVey and Michael Cinco for her beauty.. Ranking so high in international list and being so low on a local list seems so illogical..
Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, the reigning Miss Universe 2015 should also be in the list.. Aside from winning the Miss Universe crown, she was also hailed as the 10th Most Beautiful Women of 2016 by Wonderlist..
Meagan Young, Miss World 2013 should also be in the list.. Aside from winning the Miss World crown in 2013, she was also included in TC Candler’s 100 Most Beautiful Faces in 2013 and 2014 respectively..
Kristine Hermosa who Rose to fame in Asia and Africa is also considered by most Filipino celebrities as the Most Beautiful Actress in the Philippines..
Janine Gutierrez, Kelsey Merritt, Dawn Zulueta and Lucy Torres-Gomez should also be in the list..
Just accept the truth dude that the one who made the review do not find your favorites that amazing…
Oh, believe me i have accepted the list, but there is nothing wrong in asking the basis of the ranking, credible list would state the basis of their rankings because without that form of validation, the list is really no different from a fan list made by any random stranger.
The list should have been..
10. Georgina Wilson
09. Dawn Zulueta
08. Janine Gutierrez
07. Angel Locsin
06. Anne Curtis-Smith
05. Megan Young
04. Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach
03. Marian Rivera
02. Kristine Hermosa
01. Liza Soberano
