Is Binibining Pilipinas a DYING Beauty Pageant? | MY OPINION

For more than half a century, Binibining Pilipinas has been the benchmark for beauty pageants in the Philippines. This year, the organization is preparing a grand edition for the competition's 60th anniversary. However, pageant fans and the general public seem to have a lukewarm reception towards this year's edition.
In recent years, Binibining Pilipinas has lost some important titles from its roster of crowns: Miss Universe, Miss Intercontinental, and Miss Grand International, to be precise. This means the legendary pageant currently only holds the rights to select the Philippine representatives for Miss International and Miss Globe.
Because of this, many people are starting to wonder: Is Binibining Pilipinas a dying beauty pageant? Well, today I will address this question and share my thoughts on the matter.
What about you? Are you still rooting for Binibining Pilipinas?

Very well said , Luis. Thank you for your deep concern about the Binibini Beauty Pageant’s present situation.

[@surpriser0se]

Looking great, Luis! Thank you for your insights on Binibining Pilipinas, they need more crowns.

When Bb discarded that Miss Grand International Scam Show, they actually became better. It's best that they adhere to fairly judged beauty pageants and throw away the garbage. 2 crowns are better than a 3rd scam show.

[@lilpenny1982]

I think when Stella kept the MGI franchise that the whole country (and Filipino candidates in MGI) wanted her to drop this toxic pageant in the late 2010's really hurt the BBP brand 🙈🙈🙈 When she finally dropped the MGI franchise, it was already too late

[@armandosune3839]

Completely disagree! BINIBINING PILIPINAS IS THE RESPECTABLE PAGEANT. THE REASON FOR THE LESS HYPE IS THAT THE Bb.PILIPINAS DOESN'T CREATE NOR PUSH FOR SCANDALOUS CONTROVERSIES, UNLIKE THE OTHER ONE. Bb. PILIPINAS IS STILL THE RESPECTABLE BEST PAGEANT THERE IS !

[@mikmowmil]

That's what happens when you base the value of the pageant on holding MU franchise. Notice how pageants like Miss France and Miss South Africa have their own identity and would probably stand on its own feet if MUO decides to pull their license.

[@jennypepster1462]

SB19 is already gracing the pageant night so viewership is not a problem. The other aspects can always be improved.

[@rogelioafable6348]

My opinion here is that the people who were part of this prestigious pageant be it a candidate, a sponsor, a benefactor and maybe it's own Committee/ officers has a vested interest of taking over and steal the ideas of BPCI, they were ungrateful to Madam Stella Araneta and even its previous title holder of BPCI got the support from the opponent. Crab Mentality still prevails in the character of a Filipino and I'm not proud of it. To the BPCI more power to your organization and Long Live to the Beauty Queen you will produce that will represent the Philippines in the world stage even if it's one crown remaining. MABUHAY ang BPCI!!!

Hola Luis , como estas ? in my opinion Binibining Pilipinas already prove lot of winners from main international pageant, and other beauty organizations they haven’t prove anything only small pageant sometimes other garbage pageant ,it will not push through because of lack of funds ,, you’re correct the Bb organizations have deep pockets and they own lots of big companies listed in the Stock Market (PSE) that can support the whole pageantry up to the finish line and their presentation of the pageant are very professional , well I hope those those international pageant owners will be awaken to go back to the Bb organizations and from other local pageant owners, I notice after you won the title you don’t have offers and most Bb contestants landed as commercial models and winners have always the edge because of the business connections they already have in time of the memorial, just an observation thank you 🙏 and Wishing you millions of followers

Bb. Pilipinas is still a pageant to look up to.. Because they do not go to one sided candidates. Anyone can win wether you are from a certain beauty camp. Unlike the Miss Universe Philippines, you will surely win if you are from Aces and Queens or Mercator talent.

It's still really off for me that the two winners will compete in different years. I just hope they'll appoint a Miss Globe Philippines for this year and let the 2 winners of the 60th edition to compete next year as well as to extend their reign, until they compete internationally. That's just my opinion

[@KuyaBJLaurente]

IMO the long wait for the BBP winner to compete in MI is MI’s fault. BBP crowned Hannah Arnold in 2021 thinking that MI would also have a pageant the same year, only for them to postpone their pageant for another year. At the time Hannah would compete, she has already crowned Nicole Borromeo. So it seems like moving forward, BBP would just follow the Miss Venezuela route: anyone who wins will compete internationally the following year.

[@SamRosalin-or2zm]

I wish they could at least get the Supranational franchise back and let MUPh hold the universe franchise alone. I miss the group reign of the Bbp. co-queens and think that org handles the press and events surrounding all the winning titleholders better whilst MUph only focuses on the MU titleholder alone (understandably). I enjoy the Bbp. production regardless and will still support them

Not just the BBP but the MUO mainly after they altered the standards/qualifications of the candidates. Too much inclusivity drama. There should be a "prototype"

[@boyasia5874]

With the loss of numerous franchises it once held, and with numerous Miss International winners as well as Miss Globe.. yes, it's run may come to an end. Bb. Pilipinas had crowned winners who brought honor and prestige to the country. With the changes in pageantry and with so many pageants in the world today..pageantry had in my opinion changed its purpose.. Countries in choosing their delegates must , should crown the best representative to represent its people and country as a whole and not only representing women and themselves. Viewership of Bb Piliinas was high for years because it was most prestigious pageant in the nation and.... It held the Miss Universe franchise, the most prestigious in the world With loss of the franchise, there goes the viewership.

SIXTY YEARS in pageantry is a tough feat ! No need to be the favorite of pageant vloggers/media. BBPCI is an institution, strong enough to endure the test of time.

[@skor4321]

The Binibining Pilipinas has for years operated like a mall outlet of beauty pageants. If previously it has MU, MW and MI as anchor stores, and a few smaller outlets, it now has only MI side-by-side eith a low-tier pageant MG. However, MI despite its perfunctory attempt at brand-building last year, is still a trade mark, popular but not yet a distinct brand. Alongside with MG, Binibining Pilipinas can be depicted as a mall with no anchor store, just outlets for some known trade names. For years it had regaled itself with the idea of "the most prestigious beauty search" but it has never built a compelling institutional brand around that idea. Now that the anchor stores have all moved out, the challenge now is developing an institutional brand personality to support its business vision and mission. As of now, it is simply a house of trade names with no customer engagement till next selection year comes. A recipe for extinction? Hope not.
