My Hot Eyes

By Oggie Medina

I could not forget actress and model Marina Benipayo who undressed in front of me in a dressing room without malice after the coronation night of the Binibining Pilipinas.

I was surprised but it did not bother me.

I remember fashion designer Renee Salud and actress-beauty queen Star Singson Querubin (Mutya ng Pilipinas World 1989) knew I have a gift of sixth sense as I revealed to them when Noemi Balingit-Reyes (wife of Philippine Panorama editor Fred J. Reyes) and I joined then in Vigan, Ilocos Sur years ago.

Then I was surprised several days later when Marina (she was originally crowned Bb. Pilipinas-Maja) was appointed to represent the Philippines in Miss World pageant in South Africa in 1992 when the winner of the Bb. Pilipinas-World, Marilen Espino, fell ill just days before the Miss World competition.

Since then, fellow psychics call me “hot eyes”.
