Binibining Pilipinas 2015 official candidates, the aspirants for the titles Miss Universe Philippines 2015 (to succeed Mary Jean Lastimosa), Bb. Pilipinas 2015 International (to succeed Bianca Guidotti), Bb. Pilipinas 2015 Intercontinental (to succeed Kris Tiffany Janson) and Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2015 (Yvethe Marie Santiago), were announced already last Saturday, much earlier than usual.
Last year, there were 40 Bb. Pilipinas 2014 official candidates, but this year, there's only 34, many of them are REPEATERS or have been a candidate already of the pageant in previous years. 4 of them are even doing an MJ Lastimosa - joining the pageant for the 3RD time: Pia Wurtzbach, Hannah Ruth Sison, Patricia Lae Ejercitado and Toni Alyessa Hipolito. Will they be third-time lucky just like MJ and finally win one of the titles?

Meanwhile, in addition to the above-mentioned ladies, 4 others are also trying their luck again, but as 2nd-time joiners: BB #3 Sissel Ria Rabajante (candidate in Miss Bikini Philippines 2008, Bb. Pilipinas 2013 and Miss World Philippines 2013), BB #8 Kimverlyn Suiza (dethroned Miss Philippines Earth Air 2013, candidate in Bb. Pilipinas 2014), BB #13 Mae Liezel Ramos (candidate in Ms. World Philippines 2011, Top 15 in Bb. Pilipinas 2014) and BB #26 Anabel Christine Tia (candidate in Bb. Pilipinas 2014).
These veterans definitely have the edge, the Binibini experience, but it's one of the toughest editions ever of this pageant. The other candidates are also strong and definitely will give them a good fight for the crown: those crossover beauties (already joined and placed in other national pageants or competitions in the country) such as Janicel Lubina, Alaiza Malinao, Christi McGarry and Christine Balaguer, and those pageant newbies who have consistently been part of every fan's Bb. Pilipinas wishlist, Kylie Verzosa and WynWyn Marquez.
CROSSOVERS: They've been to other national pageants and contests.
Other contestants in this category are BB #4 Renee Soraya Hassani (Philippine representative at Miss Diversity Culture International Philippines 2014 and won 1st RU), BB #2 Maria Jenny Feliz Gonzales (Top 10 in Ms. Philippines Earth 2014), BB #15 Paula Rich Bartolome (candidate in Ms. World Philippines 2012), BB #17 Brenna Cassandra Gamboa (Miss Philippines Earth 2011 Top 10, Miss World Philippines 2012 2nd Princess), BB #18 Crissa Marie Mendiola (Top 15 in It's Showtime 'Gandang Babae 2014' contest, candidate in Miss Global Philippines 2014), BB #25 Rogelie Catacutan (Winner, Best in Swimsuit, Best in Evening Gown, Miss Talent at Miss Casino Filipino 2014, Top 12, Ms. Talent, Ms. Friendship in Ms. World Philippines 2011), BB #29 Nancy Lee Leonard (Miss Air title winner at Miss Philippines Earth 2013), BB #27 Ina Dominica Guerrero (candidate in Ms. Phil. Earth 2012, Top 13 in Ms. World PH 2014), BB #32 Danita Joan Ruazol (candidate in Miss Casino Filipino 2014), BB #9 Maolin Yalung (also a candidate of Miss Casino Filipino 2014) and BB #33 Namrata Neesha Murjani (Top 12, Miss Talent, Miss Friendship in Miss World Philippines 2011). {Yalung replaced Kimberle Mae Penchon, the original candidate 9 who withdrew from the pageant.

ACES & QUEENS vs KAGANDAHANG FLORES: 15 of the 34 official candidates came from beauty camp that trained the likes of Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, Janine Tugonon, Ariella Arida and Megan Young, while 16 are from KF (the training camp of Mary Jean Lastimosa and Bea Rose Santiago).

THE BICOLANA BEAUTIES: Beauties from Bicol usually do great and win titles in Bb. Pilipinas (Miriam Quiambao, Precious Lara Quigaman, Venus Raj, Dianne Necio, Elaine Kay Moll, Bea Rose Santiago, Yvethe Marie Santiago and the late Melody Gersbach). This year's candidates from the region are McGarry, Rabajante, Ramos, Guerrero, De Lima, Camu and Sison.
