Dianne Necio, Binibining Pilipinas International 2011

Bicolana beauty Dianne Elaine Necio has finally won a Binibining Pilipinas title.

Last night, Dianne Necio won as Binibining Pilipinas-International 2011, a year after she finished 1st Runner Up during the Binibining Pilipinas 2010 pageant.

If last year she represented Iriga City, Dianne represented Polangui, Albay this year and she won.

Dianne stands 5'5 1/2" and turned 19 just last month.

A pageant veteran, she has joined 4 pageants in Bicol before joinining Binibining Pilipinas. She was Miss Tabak 2009, Miss Iriga 2009, 1st Runner Up in Miss Bicolandia 2009 and 2nd Runner Up to the late Melody Gershbach in the 2009 Mutya ng Magayon pageant.

Another pride of Bicol (Philippines' beauty capital), Dianne has successfully continued the winning streak of Bicolana beauties in Binibining Pilipinas which started when Melody won as Binibining Pilipinas International in 2009 and then Venus Raj as Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2010.

(Former "Binibini" titlists Miriam Quiambao and Precious Lara Quigaman, who happen to be Bicolanas too and were among the hosts last night, probably brought some luck to Dianne.)

Bicolana titlists usually fare well in international pageants. Melody, Venus, Miriam and Precious all entered the semis (Precious even won title) when they competed internationally. Dianne definitely should also achieve that when she competes in China this October for the Miss International 2011 pageant.

Dianne is also the girlfriend of PBB Teen Clash 2010 ex-housemate and "Mutya" actor Jovic Susim.

DIANNE NECIO DURING THE FINALS' Q & A PORTION:

Judge: What is your biggest accomplishment to date? And what is your biggest goal in the next 12 months?

Dianne: "My greatest achievement was winning last year in Binibining Pilipinas as 1st Runner Up and my goal is to win in this competition one of the crowns and hopefully bring home the crown from international pageant. Thank you."
