Rooting for Anna Theresa Licaros
Posted under Anna Theresa Licaros, Beauty Queens, Miss Universe
WE have high hopes for Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Anna Theresa Licaros, and we’ll be rooting for her all the way as she aims to make the country proud in the Miss Universe 2007 competition in Mexico City on May 28 (May 29, Manila Time).
Don’t you just love her?
You hear it all the time, but in her case she really is beauty and brains.
Check out her Miss Universe vlog (video blog).
Here’s a copy of her interview on the Miss Universe site:
What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
Reading, collecting fairy tales, case digest making, writing, and playing Scrabble, Backgammon and Mahjong. I also enjoy taking public transportation. I actually feel sexiest and most attractive after riding the metro rail transit or taking the Jeep, which is a form of public transportation in the Philippines. I also attribute a sense of empowerment in moving around by myself and a feeling of independence when I commute.
What is your career ambition?
I would like to become a successful lawyer someday, engaged in a trailblazing practice focused on children’s rights cases.
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was raised in a small town east of Manila called Cainta. It is located in the province of Rizal and is very near the city where I went to school. Cainta is what you would call a suburban area, and I enjoyed my childhood there because of the peaceful and calm environment and its proximity to the hustle and bustle of the city. My childhood memories include lazy afternoons relaxing and playing in our backyard, playing house and barbecue picnics with my family.
What do you want the judges to know about you?
I am a very dynamic person. When I decide to do something I commit myself to it and I really follow through.
Here are some of her photos courtesy of Agence France-Presse.
And here are group pics with the other beauties vying for the Miss Universe crown.
ABS-CBN will be airing the pageant live on May 29 at 9: 30 a.m. You could also check out the NBC Miss Universe 2007 site.
Go, Miss Philippines!

It’s nice to hear that the Philippine rep for the Miss Universe is both beauty & brains,it just shows how far the Filipino woman has achived.Gone were the days of stereotype typical woman,staying @ home & taking care of the children.Now we have 2 women Presidents,soon to be 4 senators!To all our mothers,daugthers,nieces,grandmas,Mabuhay!May you continue to blaze the path of glory.
Mark
I always believe that women can do a better job just as much as men can if not greater. Keep up the good work.
More power to you, Anna. Go Philippines!
Sphinx
She’s not a favorite in Mexico, it was korea also who was best in interview.
Ian Alvarez
I doubt that she’ll place in the semi-finalist. The Japanese delegate Riyo Mori is more prepared in terms of training and wardrobe. Kudos to Inez Ligron, Riyo’s National Director.
Ana’s mom was interviewed over TFC and said that Ana would nail down the interview. Unfortunately, interview is just one of the criteria in selection of semi-finalist. Ana could not also claim that she’s the only brain and beauty. There’s Miss USA, Rachel Smith who’s also a Magna Cum Laude and was once a volunteer in Oprah Winfrey School in South Africa.
doc
you know what, it is better to have her than anyone else with only beauty to show. Maybe those who are attacking her are just showing the typical Filipino attitude of “inggit”. A cum laude grad, a law student, UPian at that. Inggit lang kau no! Kayo ba both beauty and brains? I doubt, iilan lang ganun. Let us just show our support. Okey!
labcu
I have read the interviews of all the contestants and many have shown a lot of intelligence and depth. I believe the interview is crucial in deciding whether one will be included in the semi-final round. I have expected a lot more and better response from Miss Philippines but I am not quite impressed. I pray she will make it as a semi-finalist and really make to outshine, outsmart and outdo the others.
michael
more power to ana.pilipino people is always support u..what ever happend look hi pinoy..godbless
Aaron
Well, for sure, since we are not there in Mexico and can see how all the candidates are faring out, we really can’t say who’s gonna get into the semifinals round and who’s not; however, it can’t be doubted that Ms. Licaros has a very big chance of making it into the semifinals. To those who don’t think she will get into the semifinals, don’t you think that’s a tad bit pessimistic and it’s not even factual, unless you’ve seen all of the candidates and how they are as competitors. On the other hand, supporting our very own Ms. Licaros rightly because of her outstanding achievements and thus, just representation of our majestic country, is quite the most logical and better option. Now isn’t it? Lighten up. Go Anna!
normae baloro
go.go.go. tere!! ur still the best!!!
maribel
sad to say i’m not impressed with miss licaros interview…i can only hope that she can make it to the top…god bless
Gidget
I think she is the best, they are just biased to Philippine beauty, I think. Global beauties favors Korea, I don’t know why, they said she went through plastic surgery and in her interview video, she looks like she’s reading her answers and no eye contact. I hope Anna will surprise everyone, let’s pray that she takes home tge crown and bring our country pride.

Just what Ms. Gloria Diaz told her , just enjoy the experience and take a lot of photo souvenirs , with or withou the crown, for as long as she did her best to represent her country, Ms. Philippines is already a winner. After all, what is beautiful to us may not be beautiful to others aside from the fact that beauty pageant is also about politics and American fascism, in 1960 - 70s, Philippines is the apple of the eye of Americans which resulted to our bets winning the title but after that, even when Miriam Quiambao deserved to win the title, she did not get the crown.
idol
my previous comment was deleted? why, because i spoke of the truth that Ms. Universe is also about politics, whichever country has the most of American interest will surely win the crown, deserving or not.

ishi
ana congratulations to you…thou you were not able to take home the crown…for us …you are still our ms universe…well i do agree ms universe is all about politics and such..but having you represent us in that prestigious event makes us proud of you… you were equipped with the right tools…dont feel disheartened because for us Filipinos you are the one…
JAMES
HI MS. PHILIPPINES CONGRATULATION FOR HAVING MS PHOTOGENIC THIS YEAR. THOUGH YOU ARE FAILED TO JOIN THE TOP 15 BUT I KNOW YOU DO YOU YOUR BEST TO TAKE THE CROWN. MAYBE FOR THE FUTURE CONTESTANT WE SEE TO IT THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PRACTICE MORE SO WE CAN HOME THE BACON.
ryan
khit d ka nanalo at least miss photogenic ka ibig savhin kaw ung pnaka maganda sa lhat,.
ria casandra
hi ate, if u wnt to be called ate..if not i’ll call u in general..MS ANA THERESA..well from the start i already expected that you’ll be the ms. universe but actually you are already a ms. universe in every Filipino’s eyes because you’ve proved yourself until the end of the pageant. Also to the giving of awards that people vote you as the ms. photogenic among other contestants you had been chosen.
Ms. universe for a 13 yr. old girl means, a woman w/ a suiting personality, you act as you are no pretentions, have looks but especially the capability to answer questions, and w/ confidence.
I will continue supporting you, take care always and God Bless You Always..
Kristal
I would still like to congratulate Ms. Anna Licaros for representing the Philippines! You’re still a beauty with brains for all of us!.. well it was held in mexico and maybe they’re not to fond of philiippines right now after pacquiao ate their boxers alive!..ehe.. anyways, more power to Ms. Ana!

You are a special person in the hearts of your people. You did well in representing your country. Best wishes to you in all your endeavours.
Be that lawyer you want to become!

Next year MISS INDIA will again make it to Top 10. INDIA is supreme in terms of BEAUTY. They have 4 Miss World, 2 Miss Universe and Ford’s Super Model of the World winner. We Filipinos must rely on text votes to win an award… so sad… Nextyear Philippines again will be Miss Photogenic… talunan ang Pinay in terms of BEAUTY… Thanks MISS JAPAN for making Asians feel proud…
Cindy
Hi anna…..know what, im pregnant right now and how I wish that my baby would be as smart and as beautiful as you are…you really impress me! I used to dream to be in UP college of law but I already got married and is on our way to our second child. La nang time to study again. hehe. Way to go Ms. Licaros! We love you!

I still believe that Terry still deserves to be in the top 15 , at least, (Dapat nga siya ang maging Miss U eh). It so happened nga lang that the format of the present Miss Universe is far different from previous Miss Universes where the judges chose beauty, brain and elegance. Now, nobody knows what’s the basis in choosing the Miss U ( influence, politics and business dealings with Donald Trump perhaps ). Moreover, just a flick of the thumb judges scores can be changed instantaneously ,eh, scores are not flashd on screen compared before and the common and final question raised to top 3 no longer holds true unlike before that there is this common question and top 3’s are in the sound proof booth — which tests the substance of each top 3’s answers. So to sum it all, had Terry been in the previous Miss U’s format (prior to Donald Trump’s Miss U), she could have bagged the crown. For us, Terry is still our Miss Universe. Damn with Donald Trump - stupid as he is.
gerry
Hi anna! For me you are supposed to be the winner but that is life you can’t really win everybody all the time. There is always time for everyone. But since you are taking up law, probably you will excel more in lawyering than being a beauty queen. Welcome aboard panyera!

Ano ba naman itong mga tao dito, kita nyo naman na maganda talaga yung Koreana eh. Mas maganda pa nga sa Haponesa. Okay naman si Ms Licaros pero kulang pa sa appeal. Next time we should send someone who is really tall, confident and meztisahen pero pinay na pinay parin ang looks. Dapat elegante ang costume tulad ng mga sinusuot ni imelda marcos noon, modernize nga lang. Mahirap humanap ng prize candidate coz “intelligence” lang gusto ng mga Filipino judges eh.
noah
hi i juzt want to congratulate you for being the ms.photogenic……ur d best…..mwah…im hoping that our ways will cross someday….Godbless alwayz…
blackangel
I felt disappointed about Anna Theresa Licarios. It’s 34 years nang crownless ang bansa natin sa Miss Universe. Almost equalized with India, Thailand, Australia & Japan! Hanggang Miss Photogenic na lang ba tayo umaasa sa award na iyon! It’s just a consolation prize for her pero hanggang doon na lang ba?
The Binibining Pilipinas Organization must reform for a better change. Stella Marquez-Araneta must step down of that organization!
Rated JBR
Just ignore of those who have negative comments on Terry. I’m so proud of her. Terry has a pure heart. Winning Ms. Photogenic is great. I hope that she will enter a showbiz career like Miriam Quiambao and Precious Quigaman. Terry Licaros is one of the most beautiful and mos decorated girls here in PH!!!!!
hazel
your so nice
gerzon
