Bb. Pilipinas crowns new title-holders to represent the PHL
Newly crowned Queens to vie for international titles
Four beautiful,
intelligent, and eloquent Filipinas were crowned at the Grand Coronation Night
of the Binibining Pilipinas pageant held last night, July 11 at the Smart
Araneta Coliseum.
Hannah Arnold took home the
Bb. Pilipinas International title, Samantha Panlilio was crowned Bb. Pilipinas Grand International,
Cinderella Faye Obeñita
won the title of Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental, and Maureen Montagne earned the Bb. Pilipinas Globe
crown.
Meanwhile, Gabrielle Camille Basiano and
Meiji Cruz were
named Bb. Pilipinas 2021 1st Runner-up and Bb. Pilipinas 2021 2nd Runner-up,
respectively.
“We are extremely
proud of all of our winners tonight,” Irene Jose, Bb. Pilipinas Executive
Committee member said. “These women showed unparalleled resiliency, beauty,
intelligence, and talent, and the fact that they are all going home as winners
is a testament to these qualities. We are excited for the next phase of their journey,
and we will be behind them all the way.”
The four crowned
winners will have the chance of a lifetime to represent the Philippines at some
of the most prestigious beauty pageants internationally.
The pageant was the
first-of-its-kind event to be held with a live telecast from the Smart Araneta
Coliseum. The event was approved and closely guided by the Inter-Agency Task
Force for the Management of Infectious Diseases (IATF). This is also the first
time in the 57-year history of Bb. Pilipinas that the pageant took place in a
bubble, where all candidates were locked-in the Novotel Manila Araneta City.
Aside from this, the strictest health and safety protocols were implemented and
adhered to to minimize the chance of contracting COVID-19.
Special titles were
also awarded during the Grand Coronation Night of Bb. Pilipinas. The Best in
National Costume is Ma.
Ruth Erika Quin, while Lesley Anne Ticaro received the Ms. Friendship title, and the
Ms. Talent award was given to Vianca Marcelo. Meiji Cruz was named Best in Swimsuit and Gabrielle Camille Basiano
was given the Best in Long Gown title. Another special award is the Face of
Binibini Award which was awarded to Patrizia Garcia.
Meanwhile, here are
the recipients of other special Awards:
·

·
Manila Bulletin Readers’ Choice
Award– Micca Rosal
·

Ms. World Balance – Alexandra Faith Garcia

With the theme “I
am Binibini”, the 57th Binibining Pilipinas pageant went back to its core
values, celebrating and elevating Filipinas while empowering and enabling them
to showcase their beauty, grace, and wit on a global stage.
This year’s Bb.
Pilipinas took place after hitting pause last year because of the impact of the
pandemic. And as we continue to tread the road towards recovery, this year’s
pageant also aims to inspire Filipinos while persuading the public to avail of
vaccines being offered by the government.
“Through the years,
Bb. Pilipinas has gone beyond the bounds of being a beauty pageant. It has
served as a beacon of hope for many Filipinos. This year, as we continue to
face the challenges and uncertainties brought by the pandemic, Bb. Pilipinas
reassures Filipinos that there is hope. We will get over these difficult times
and we’ll eventually return to a sense of normalcy. But for that to happen, we
need to do our part, and that means we need to get vaccinated,” Jose said.
This year’s pageant
made herstory, as Ms. Universe 2018
Catriona Gray and Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2016 and Ms. Grand
International First Runner-Up Nicole Cordoves hosted the much-anticipated
event. This is the first time that an all-female pair hosted the Bb. Pilipinas
Grand Coronation Night.
The Binibining
Pilipinas 2021 Grand Coronation Night was aired on A2Z Channel, Kapamilya
Channel, and Metro Channel, and was simultaneously live streamed on iWantTFC
and the official Binibining Pilipinas YouTube page.
