The Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) on Monday released the official list of candidates for the much awaited Binibining Pilipinas 2016.
Forty contenders are vying for various beauty titles in this year’s edition in a bid to represent the country in international pageants.
The past year was a successful run for BPCI following the coronation of 26-year-old Philippine bet Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach as Miss Universe 2015.
Binibining Pilipinas Tourism Anne Colis was also crowned Miss Globe 2015, Binibining Pilipinas International Janicel Lubina finished in the top 10 of Miss International, Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental Christy McGarry emerged 1st runner-up in Miss Intercontinental 2015, and Binibining Pilipinas Supranational Rogelia Catacutan was a semifinalist.
Wurtzbach, who won the country’s third Miss Universe crown after 42 years, will be attending the Binibining Pilipinas grand coronation night.
