Will she be another Venus?

MANILA, Philippines - Dominique Lagrimas of Iriga City (second from right) was crowned 2010 Miss Bicolandia, the same contest of which 2010 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe and Miss Universe fourth runner-up Maria Venus Raj is a ‘graduate.’ Will Dominique follow in the footsteps of Venus (right, with ‘beauty-watcher’/BDO exec Gerry Diaz) first to the Binibini contest and then to the ‘universe’? Dominique’s court of honor includes (from left) Joanna Romero of Naga City (third), Princess Armillos of Nabua (first) and Cindy Abundabar of Goa (second). Not in photo is Linda Backlund (fourth runner-up).
