Pilipinas 2012. Riding atop sporty Miata cars, the ladies waved and threw kisses to the admiring crowd wearing figure hugging black swimsuits and resplendent head dresses reminiscent of the Rio Carnival in Brazil. The annual Parade of Beauties which also featured Pizza Hut riders, Ati-atihan, Sinulog, Panagbenga and Masskara dancers, Jag Jeans, and Avon, snaked through the main avenues of the Araneta Center.
