Binibining Pilipinas 2009

You'll watch the Binibining Pilipinas 2009 beauty pageant on March 7, 2009 (GMA) and among the candidates is Regina Hahn.

This is quite exciting, because Regina's mom is Chiqui Brosas Hahn, a prepared childbirth educator in the Philippines, who was also a Binibining Pilipinas contestant in the 70s.

Chiqui Brosas was Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 1975 and was fourth runner-up in the Ms. Universe Beauty Pageant. I can almost imagine what Chiqui must be feeling now that her daughter is also joining the beauty contest.

Here is the list of the 24 candidates of the Binibining Pilipinas 2009 beauty contest:

Ma. Paula Bianca Paz
Mary Jane dela Cruz
Jaysel Arozal
Regina Hahn
Richell Angalot (StarStruck's Rich Asuncion)
Mary Tifanny Jones
Vanessa Johnson
Melody Gersbach
Priscilla Navidad
Abegail Lesley Cruz (Abby Cruz)
Diana Arevalo
Barbara Salvador
Marie Ann Umali

Carishiela May Kaujpers
Keann Mallari

Will history repeat itself? Let's all find out on March 7.
