They will compete for the six titles of Bb. Pilipinas such as Miss Universe Philippines, Bb. Pilipinas International, Bb. Pilipinas Supranational, Bb. Pilipinas Grand International, Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental and Bb. Pilipinas Globe.

Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. Chairperson Mrs. Stella Marquez Araneta said: "This batch of ladies is special. I know you came from different parts of the country, and you chose to be with us, and we are very grateful. We want you to know that you will always have a home here in Araneta Center."

Binibining Pilipinas Supranational Jehza Huelar, Binibining Pilipinas Globe Michele Gumabao and Binibining Pilipinas Grand International Eva Patalinjug, who were also part of the screening process, were all impressed by this year’s crop of contestants.

“These ladies are gorgeous. I hope they will be able to surpass what our batch was able to fulfill and represent the Philippines the best way they could,” Huelar said.


“They will be tasked to represent the Philippines in an international competition. We have experienced it. It’s not easy. So they have to work really hard to achieve the crown that they want,” Patalinjug said.

In this year's batch, 19 girls were trained under Aces and Queens headed by Jonas Gaffud whole 17 came from Kagandahang Flores camp under Rodgil Flores. Four girls were independent, meaning they did not belong to any beauty camp.

Reining Miss Universe Catriona Gray said she was independent when she competed in the Bb. Pilipinas 2018 beauty contest.

In December 2018, Gray went home with the Miss Universe title during the competition held in Bangkok, Thailand. On the other hand, Karen Gallman captured the first Miss Intercontinental crown for the Philippines in 47 years during a pageant held in Manila in January.

Ahtisa Manalo nearly won the Miss International 2018 crown for the Philippines when she finished second in the beauty pageant.

After the screening, they are tipped to visit several charities, engage with sponsors and participate in the talent competition, fashion show, photo exhibit and parade of beauties.

The grand coronation of the Bb. Pilipinas 2019 pageant will be held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on June 9. - ROBERT REQUINTINA
