In the last 5 years, Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) has been the one responsible for selecting our representative. Within those years, the country was able to produce two 1st runners-up (2016, 2020), one 2nd second runner-up (2017), two 3rd runners-up (2013, 2015), and one 5th runner-up (2022).

Further details about its 2023 pageant haven’t been revealed yet, however, Miss Grand Philippines is already cooking something up. According to the post, the pageant will have its ‘grand’ week-long salvo. With activities lined up, the events will be graced by the current Miss Grand International Queens including our very own Roberta Tamondong. Currently in Thailand for her duties as 5th runner-up, Roberta is the last Miss Grand Philippines under Binibining Pilipinas.
If you’re a Miss Grand fan or an aspiring candidate, make sure to follow them on Instagram, as well as their official Facebook page. A polarizing pageant, will this Miss Grand Philippines help Filipino fans warm up to MGI?
Is this development a sign that we’ll win our golden crown soon? We sure hope so!
