Now on its 4th year, we will rank once again the country's 100 Most Beautiful Women. Let the nominations begin.

‘100 Most Beautiful Pinays’ is an annual poll conducted exclusively by Starmometer.com since 2006. Now on its 4th year, the poll remains the same: powered by fans, tabulated online and free! You don’t need to spend money by text voting, all you need is to get online and vote!

From people’s nomination through this post, we shall select the 100 most beautiful Pinays. In order to rank them, we will cut the 100 into half—the first 50 is the list of women who got the most number of votes. We will then rank the remaining 50 from 51st position to the 100th position according to their popularity, visibility and beauty, of course. The Top 50 will then be ranked through a people’s choice poll that will run here in Starmometer.com and in http://100filipina.blogspot.com for one month. From the result of the 1-month poll, we will rank the top 1 to 50 most beautiful Pinays.

Last year’s Top 50 are automatically nominated this year. Last year’s Top 10, on the other hand, will fast-track in our Top 50 poll. So the first 10 women in our Top 50 poll are:

Angel Locsin
Marian Rivera
Sarah Geronimo
Anne Curtis
Kim Chiu
KC Concepcion
Heart Evangelista
Katrina Halili
Maja Salvador
Bea Alonzo

The remaining 40 in the Top 50 will be determined in our preliminary poll. The Top 40 vote-getters will advance in the Top 50 poll which will run for a month.

We must begin our search with your nominations. Post the name/s of Filipino women that you think should be included in this elite list of 100 Most Beautiful Pinays. You can nominate as many names as you wish as long as they match our criteria:

* She should be at least 18 years old and not older than 50 years old

* She can be an actress, singer, athlete, newscaster, etc. as long as she’s beautiful, of course, and a Filipino citizen.

* Half-Filipina is ok as long as she’s visible and/or popular here in our country.

Post your nomination(s) through the comments link below and on Saturday, we shall begin the preliminary poll containing all the names entered on this post.
