The Bb. Pilipinas 2018’s national costume presentation can be described in 3 words: Cultural, colorful, and beautiful.

This year’s candidates walked the runway Saturday night at the Kia Theatre at the Araneta Center dressed in locally designed national costumes reflecting different aspects of Filipino culture, mostly indigenous using ethnic fabrics and materials.

All forty candidates sashayed their best to be called one of the night’s best in national costume, but only 10 ladies landed a spot on the coveted list.

The Top 10 Best in National Costume were, in no particular order:

1. Binibini 33, Stephanie Joy Abellanida
2. Binibini 4, Ana Patricia Asturias
3. Binibini 18, Rosantonette Mendoza
4. Binibini 19, Michelle Gumabao
5. Binibini 35, Sandra Lemonon
6. Binibini 11, Aya Abesamis
7. Binibini 31, Jehza Huelar
8. Binibini 20, Catriona Gray
9. Binibini 30, Sarah Margarette Joson
10. Binibini 29, Samantha Avestruz
