The Binibining
Pilipinas 2018 search is nearing its climax with the highly anticipated press
presentation of the forty official candidates held at the Monet Ballroon and
Poolside of Novotel Manila, in Araneta Center, Cubao on Wednesday.
“This year’s
batch is very special,” said Madam Stella Marquez-Araneta, chairperson of the
Bb. Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI), giving a hint that the country has not run
out of beautiful contenders for a repeat of the 2013 golden year.
The press
presentation was attended by the reigning Bb. Pilipinas queens, Miss
Supranational 2017 Miss Friendship Chanel Olive Thomas, Miss Globe 2017-1st
runner up Nelda Ibe, Miss Grand International 2017-2nd runner up
Elizabeth Clenci, Miss Intercontinental 2017-1st runner up Katarina
Rodriguez, Bb. Pilipinas International Mariel de Leon and Miss Universe 2017

Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Dindi Gallardo, 1990 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Gem Padilla,
1989 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Sara Jane Paez and other “señoras”.
