About Binibining Pilipinas
Binibining Pilipinas is a key instrument in shaping the Philippines as one of the beauty pageant powerhouses, producing notable and beloved beauty queens since its establishment in 1964.
Among them are the four Miss Universe titleholders: Catriona Gray (2018), Pia Wurtzbach (2015), Margie Moran (1973), and Gloria Diaz (1969).
The BPCI held the Miss Universe franchise for 55 years before it was transferred to Miss Universe Philippines, now headed by Miss Universe 2013 third runner-up Ariella Arida. She is also a Binibining Pilipinas queen.
The organization also produced the first Filipina to win the Miss Supranational crown, Mutya Datul.
Winners in the Binibining Pilipinas 2025 pageant will succeed Binibining Pilipinas International 2024 Myrna Esguerra of Abra and Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2024 Jasmin Bungay of Pampanga.
Bungay finished second runner-up in the Miss Globe 2024 pageant.
