MANILA – Actor Xian Lim has hosted five editions of the Binibining Pilipinas pageant, which sends representatives to Miss Universe and other global beauty contests.

Last year, he had the opportunity to host the Miss Grand International in Vietnam.

With these under his belt, it is only natural for Lim to be asked about his thoughts about the local pageant scene.

In an interview with the entertainment website Push, the actor said he is excited for Bb. Pilipinas 2018, which recently revealed its 40 official candidates.

“Parang 'di na question ‘yan. Naku, I’m so excited for that. I don’t want to say na sa daming beses ko nang ginawa, but I mean I’ve been doing it for the past how many years,” said Lim, who hosted Bb. Pilipinas in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017.

“I think it’s become part of my routine to see kung sino bang nakapasok, sino bang sasali ngayon,” he continued. “Especially after doing Miss Grand International, I’m getting exposed to all these people. It’s a different world, hindi lang from an outsider’s point of view.”

Lim was also asked about Catriona Gray, who is considered by many pageant fans as one of the strongest contenders in Bb. Pilipinas 2018.

“I saw na si Catriona Gray was trending, and ang galing lang na all out support [ang mga fans],” he said of Gray, who finished in the Top 5 of Miss World 2016.

“I’m not gonna be biased. Just to clarify things, I’m not having any favorites, but I think isa siya (Gray) sa mga maiingay [na pangalan] ngayon, and isa siya sa mga contenders," he added.

“I’m sure that Bb. Pilipinas, they’re gonna choose fairly naman.”

To all candidates of Bb. Pilipinas 2018, Lim gave this advice: “I think it’s more of presence of mind. I mean, siyempre, I’m the last person you guys should ask because I’m just a co-host, but it’s presence of mind for me.”
