Everything you need to know about the Binibining Pilipinas 2023 finals night
It's been more than three months since the 40 candidates of this year's Binibining Pilipinas competition were introduced, and now, we're close to finding out which queens will take the reins from current titleholders.
In the past few weeks, the delegates participated in several activities, including a sustainable fashion show, a talent show, a press presentation, a national costume show, and a grand parade.
However, this year's pageant will be different as two out of the four titles were dropped.
Last November 2022, BPCI withdrew from the Miss Grand International pageant. Since it started in 2013, no Filipina beauty queen has taken home the title.
Then in February 2023, after almost a decade since they first held the franchise, BPCI lost the Miss InterContinental Organization (MIC) franchise to Mutya ng Pilipinas organization.
Still, there's so much to be excited about at this year's coronation night. To know more, continue reading below:
