Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2021 Maureen Montagne and Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2021 Samantha Panlilio have revealed their favorites in the ongoing Miss Universe Philippines 2021 pageant.
Speaking to their fans through Instagram live on Wednesday, September 15, two of the Bb. Pilipinas 2021 queens have spoken who would likely win the title.
Revealing her top three, Montagne said, "Honestly I love all the girls. They all so deserving and hardworking but honestly the girl to beat for me is Steffi. That video, where was it, SLEX? It was, ang ganda! Oh my God. Woooh! Iconic! Steffi is my number one."
"My friend Maureen, Maureen Wroblewitz is number two. Beautiful, sweetheart, so kind. And then my number three, I find her so charming. This girl for me came out of nowhere. And I'm so obsessed but Miss Manila, her name is Jasmine. Face of the pageant for me. Every time I see her speaking, she's so mesmerizing. I think she could be a supermodel internationally. She's so stunning. I'm a fan. I should join her fans club," Montagne said during the Instagram live.

Samantha agreed to what Maureen said but she has different set of favorites.
"For me, I think my top one is definitely Katrina Dimaranan. It was so fun too when I was in the US, I did a shoot and some of her team was there. I don't know she just gives me positive vibe. Every time she comes on any social media platform, she just like present you know. Everything she says has so much substance which I think is so important not just for Miss Universe Philippines but for any pageant. You have to be able to speak your mind really. So definitely Katrina," said Samantha Panlilio.
"Second for me would be Steffi because that runway walk was like on another level. My third one of course I would have to support Cavite, VVV right? Rooting for her," Panlilio added.
