THE Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) has selected the official candidates for its pageant during the final closed-door screening at the New Frontier Theater on April 5.
Celebrating 60 years this year as, inarguably, the longest-running and trusted brand in national pageantry, Binibining Pilipinas is up for a spectacular search for the country’s official representatives to Miss International and The Miss Globe where it has produced six and two titleholders, respectively.
The beautiful roster of 40 new Binibinis, sifted from the original field of 60 aspirants, showcases a mix of fresh faces and pageant veterans, all bringing with them their inspiring advocacies and unique stories.
The official candidates of the 60th Binibining Pilipinas pageant are:
Aleckxis Chuidian, Carmella Cuaresma, Charisse Abanico, Christal Dela Cruz, Corrine San Pedro, Erika Ballon, Geraldine Buenafe, Gracelle Distura, Jasmin Dingson, Jasmine Bungay, Joyce Anne Garduque, Kara Villarosa, Kristin Baconawa, Kylie Atiliano, Liezle Jones, Ma. Flordeliz Mabao, Mae Kimberly De Luna, Maria Jajalla, Marikit Manaois, Monica Acuno;

The latest batch of Binibinis was meticulously chosen by a panel composed of the reigning Binibining Pilipinas 2023 queens and the BPCI Executive Committee.
Excited to pass on their titles to the new winners are: Angelica Lopez (Binibining Pilipinas International 2023), Anna Lakrini (Miss Globe 2023 2nd runner-up), Katrina Anne Johnson (Binibining Pilipinas 1st runner-up) and Atasha Reign Parani (Binibining Pilipinas 2nd runner-up).
Notably, Lopez has yet to compete for the 62nd Miss International finals in Tokyo in November after she bequeaths her national title.
Now part of the exclusive and legendary Binibini sisterhood, the 40 ladies will compete in the grand 60th edition of the country’s most prestigious beauty pageant to be held at the Araneta Coliseum on July 7.
